  • GTS2s were based on the Series 3 R31 GXE model.7 All GTS2s were 4-door sedans.
  • All GTS2 vehicles were painted "Beacon Red" (paint code: 319). However, six vehicles ordered by the Tasmanian Police Force were painted "Classic White" (paint code: 915).8 See section 6 of this guide below for further details and specification of the GTS2 police vehicles.
  • Vehicles were fitted with a unique body kit that including a revised front bumper/splitter with integrated fog lights, grille blanking panel, side skirts, rear bumper and bootlid spoiler.
  • The bootlid spoiler had an integrated tail light, and the rear parcel shelf mounted tail light was therefore deleted.
  • “Nissan SVD” decals were applied to the left hand side of the bootlid. A “Silhouette” decal was applied to the right hand side of the bootlid, and rear door side mouldings  (see images).
  • "GTS" was cast in large text on the centre of the front grille panel, and the rear bumper. The front bumper also had “Nissan” embossed on the passenger side.
  • Body trims were de-chromed and painted satin black (this included the window frames and door handles).
  • Vehicles were fitted with Yokohama 215/55 ZR tyres mounted on white 16 x 7 inch 6-spoke alloy wheels.9 These were painted "Classic White" (paint code: 915), and had "Nissan" embossed on the centre caps.
  • A fixed central roof-mounted antenna was fitted (as opposed to the standard antenna mounted on the rear passenger mudguard).
  • Tinted windows were applied as standard.10

Saw this early 1974 hardtop on Facebook Marketplace in September 2022, asking $15,000, located in Sydney Australia.. That appears to be a fairly reasonable price for a running SSS project car nowadays. Quite a few of these on the register - but not many around anymore as they suffered quite badly from rust.. This one we believe was originally orange, but has been repainted black, and wears its original 13" hubcaps!

In the original advertisement, the seller made the following comments:

"Up for sale is my 1973/4 Nissan Datsun 180b sss coupe. I have a new dash and door card kit available. The car is complete with all chrome trim. It currently has no petrol, it's been sitting since the electric fuel pump stopped working. It requires restoration. It's registered on historic rego atm"
