This R31 GTS1 was for sale on the R31 Skyline Club website in August 2008, at the time asking $5,200 (AUD) ono. This car is build number 165 of a total of 200 cars overall. The seller described the car at the time as good condition for its age, with the interior being excellent. A GTS 2 rear bar and skirts had been added, and the scheel seat wings re-done in grey leather 18 months prior to advertising. The Momo steering wheel requires repair, and the car comes with factory workshop manual with GTS supplement, original owners manual most history known. The diff apparently had a whine and backlash has done for the six years they owned it (was being sold with a spare diff).

For those that don't know it, this is an Australian special edition Nissan Skyline R31, known as the GTS1 Silhouette. All the GTS1 cars were painted white. Some of the visually distinguishing features of the car included 16" white powder coated 11 spoke wheels, rear spoiler, unique SVD / Silhouette decals and sports cloth interior - along with the unique badging. The cars were fitted with a turbocharged RB30 engine and stage 1 camshaft, producing 130kw, and were only available in manual transmission. Extractors, and 2.25" exhaust and an LSD were also fitted standard.
