Model number:
As the GTS1 was based on the Silhouette series 2 Skyline, a model number of CJR31FSE was applied to all vehicles. We note that the 6th digit "F" referred to the manual transmission fitted to all GTS1s.
Chassis number:
The GTS1 is allocated a standard HR31 chassis number from the factory, as the cars essentially started off as Silhouette models before being sent off for modification by Nissan's SVD. The chassis number will begin with "V", followed by a 5-digit unique number. The chassis number is located in several positions:
1. Stamped on the vehicle’s Nissan build plate (mounted on the passenger side upper-bulkhead next to the SVD build plate).
2. Stamped into the upper-central bulkhead in the engine bay (next to the Australian compliance plate).
3. Embossed on the vehicle’s compliance plate (mounted on the driver’s side bulkhead in the engine bay).
4. Stamped into the vehicle’s SVD build plate (mounted on the passenger side upper bulkhead next to the Nissan build plate).
Naturally, it is important to confirm that the chassis number noted on the SVD build plate is the same as that located in positions 1-3 as described above.
SVD build number:
The SVD build number will appear in two locations:
1. On the SVD build plate (mounted on the passenger side upper bulkhead next to the Nissan build plate).
2. On the badge fitted to the glovebox lid
Observations with respect to build numbers and build dates.
Build dates will appear on both the Nissan chassis plate and the SVD plate as demonstrated in the images. We have undertaken a small sample analysis of Nissan chassis plates and SVD plates on the GTS1 vehicles, and note that there is generally a 1 - 2 month gap between the Nissan build date, and the SVD build date, which makes sense in terms of build-delivery-rebuild time. From the small sample data we have, we also noted that several GTS1s had the same SVD build date, but there are gaps in the SVD build numbers between these cars of up to 24 units. For example, SVD car number 165 and car number 189 were both built on September 16, 1988. This, along with several other shared build dates with smaller gaps between the build numbers, suggests the vehicles would have been built in a number of batches (in some cases possibly quite large batches) throughout the production period. This is, however, only an observation based on assumptions with limited data. Anyone with further information on the production process is encouraged to contact us or comment below.

JDM import. 2003 Mitsubishi Airtrek Turbo R. Homologation special which is essentially an 1st gen Outlander body with an EVO 7 GTA driveline inc the AWD system, Front suspension, K frame, auto gearbox with paddle shift and the 4G63T turbocharged 2.0l 4 cylinder with a top mount intercooler. The turbo used was slightly smaller for improved response and earlier boost. Minor cosmetic changes were used to distinguish it from the standard outlander inc bumpers, side skirts, unique headlights and grill, and scooped bonnet. All the standard performance upgrades for Evo's can be used with the weak point being the gearbox, though manual swaps are a good idea to get the best from the car. This example has evo 8 MR cams, exhaust manifold, TD05HR-16G turbo, 3 inch downpipe and high flow cat, 2.5 inch custom cat back, upgraded fuel system, front mount intercooler conversion among many other changes.
