Need Help from Japan on HR31

[R31Heaven]

I am after info on the HR31 Coupes, specifically the differences on the GTS & GTS-X. No one in Aus can give the actual difference or what sets them apart on the two models, or should I say 4 as they came with the old stove top light (86-late87) and the later with the Aussie style (87-88). I would take any info that was available on these cars. I myself have an late 87 Model GTS/GTS-X and would like to clear up what it actualy is.

thanks in advance

the gts dosnt have an auto front spioler, the interia fabric is differnt. the drivers seat is not electric.

also dosnt have am /fm button on the dash panel.

bye bye

most gts's dont have a rear spioler

[R31Heaven]

I hav e been told mine is a GTS, and it has all the above bits so it must be a GTS-X. still confused

Check this out... go to the 7th catalogue from the right, it's the GTS 2-door at the top, then towards the bottom of the catalogue, you can see all the variants, including the GTS-X.

I CAN read Japanese, if you have any questions, but zooming in on this catalogue just makes the print blurry. Just do a simple cross-check with the pics interior/exterior first, then if you still can't firgure it out, I'll call SuperAutobacs...

[R31Heaven]

The only thing I can see on those pics that sort of give a clue is that the GTS-X has a front spoiler and rear wing, the interior picks are a bit blury and cant make out anything. It would be very much appreciated if you could talk to SuperAutobacs as this has been a long standing conversation amungst us Coupe owners over here. Thanks for this Rezz.

I'd also be interested to know the answer on this one....looking at some of the pics in that catalogue it seems that some GTS-X's didn't have a rear spoiler as standard (!?!?) - look at the silver one on the 3rd page.

I would be better if the specs page was readable as that's probably where the info lies.

BTW Rezz...great info on that sight nonetheless

[R31Heaven]

After looking again the spoiler theory just went out the window, if we could get the Equipment bit blown up as you said SteveL that would answer our questions

[Rezz]

Yeah, damn that tiny specs page!

I just tried to buzz SuperAutobacs, and as you can imagine, just getting through to someone in the service dept (my Japanese is "adequate"...) was hard enough. The guy basically said *vaguely* "aaah, theres different materials used in the cabin... the GTS-X has a automatic front spoiler... why don`t you bring the car to us?"

I left it at that. I`ll get my wife (shes Jap) to call Nissan. I`m actually going down to SuperAutobacs this weekend for their annual car show, I`ll definately be able to finalize this once and for all then.

He didn't say *only* the GTS-X's have the auto spoiler... but at that stage I knew the guy hadn't turned his brain on to talk to me.
