Several special orders for the GTS2 (or cars of a similar specification to the GTS2) were placed by Australian state government departments including the Tasmanian police, Victorian police and the Victorian fire brigade. Each order, and its relation to the civilian GTS2 has been outlined below.
Tasmanian Police GTS2 vehicles:19
The Tasmanian police placed an order for six GTS2 vehicles, which were built in addition to the civilian batch of 200 cars. This was a repeat order, having placed the same order for the GTS1 vehicles in 1988. The GTS2 police vehicles were all produced from April 1990, and are mechanically the same as the civilian GTS2 vehicles. There are, however, certain differences including:
- All were painted "Classic White" (paint code: 915). Police cars were originally dressed in full police force signage with all lights and equipment set up for highway patrol.
- No "GTS" badges were applied to the front grille or rear bumper of police vehicles.
- The trim material applied was not customised by SVD like it was on the civilian vehicles (there was no red stitching and no "GTS" embroidery on the seats).
- Police vehicles received a 3-spoke GXE steering wheel in place of the 4-spoke MOMO wheel.
- No build number badge was applied to the glovebox lid.
- The SVD build plate on the police GTS (on the bulkhead) will state a build number of between "TP1" and "TP6". See section 3 of this guide for further details.
- These six police vehicles were allocated a GXE model code on their Nissan build plate, rather than the GTS code, as outlined above in section 3 of this guide. The model code for a police GTS reads CJR31FGXE3, and all transmissions were manual as per the 6th digit "F".
Victorian police and fire vehicles:20
Several vehicles with the same mechanical specifications as the GTS2 were also built for the Victorian police force and fire brigade. 6 are believed to have been built for the police, and 7 for the fire brigade. Both the police and fire vehicles are believed to have been built in February/March, 1990, but these vehicles were not fitted with an SVD build plate. These vehicles shared only the mechanical features with the GTS2, but had a standard exhaust system fitted from the catalytic converter back, and were fitted with 15 inch steel wheels rather than the white 16 inch wheels of the GTS2. In addition, SVD fitted the police cars with a speedometer calibrating device integrated in the car's dash, and both police and fire vehicles were fitted with an additional vent in the front bumper for the oil cooler. These special order Skylines were otherwise GX Skylines with certain police/fire trim and features. We have one example of these Victorian Police Skylines here on Classic Register. See also the attached images detailing the Victorian Police R31 Skyline specifications. Note - 20 additional R31 Skylines were recorded as being ordered by the Victorian police, however, these vehicles were unrelated to the GTS2.
- The VIN / chassis numbers of the Victorian police vehicles include: J24316, J29367, J29429, J29431, J29433 and J29539.
- Known VIN / chassis numbers of the Victorian fire brigade vehicles include: J29369, J29471, J29503 and J29507, J29511, J29513 and J29515.
