GTU's, What makes them special?
Is it like the Nissan Silvia version where they have a A,K,Q,J serious? "A" being the lightest and developed towards the racer?
I am looking at a 1990 GTU w/ 120k miles for a trade for a 94 Civic.
It also has a Apex'i N1 exhaust.
Are the value of GTU more then a regular GXL?
Also, what seperates a GTU from a GTUs?
Thanks!
AND YES I DID SEARCH. I only revealed the dealer list options. That doesnt help much. I also searched Google with not much help either. Thanks and Cheers!

Respecognize!
the FAQ dealer spec sheet basically does show the differences. The GTUs is most notable for having the 4.30 gearing.
Common myths are that is had the "turbo" drive train but it does not.

A "GTU" is a base model.
If you did a proper search, you would've figured this out.
A base model is not the most desirable model.
The GXL is considered a "luxury" model - hence, the "L" at the end.
The GXL is considered a higher model than the GTU in 1990.

And for the original poster (since this is probably one of the most confusing things about the FC Model designations): the GTUs (note that last letter) is different than the GTU (which is the base model).

From what ive read in the manual it had slightly stiffer suspension. Not the auto adjust or the turbo spec, but slightly heavier duty.
Also, had the turbo 2 4 piston calipers in the front, with the single piston rears. At least mine did. (without changing it)
The 88 GTU was basically the 89+ GTUs. Im not sure if the GTUs had the 4 piston calipers in the front though...ive heard a couple people say that they did and a couple say that they didnt.
