What model is this?
ok so i bought another rx7......good price....i saw the s5 tails and was sold....ok the guy had the title...its to an 87(i dont think its the title to the parts car i got, dont care)....however it had s5 taillights, s5 interior (stereo surround, warning light surround i know).....when i removed the s5 lights, not cutting or bending had been done to make them fit.....im hoping its an 89 gtu so i can steal the tranny set up even though it does run....is there any way to make 100% sure which model it is? like a number located somewhere on the chassis... i know the engine has been swapped too...how can i tell whether its an s4 or s5 engine?

41:10 = Standard 4.10 rear
43:10 = GTUs 4.30 rear
43:11 = AT 3.909 rear
FYI you can buy a 4.30 ring and pinion gear set from Mazda or aftermarket dealers like Mazdatrix, so it's not like you need to search the Earth looking for a GTUs if you like this gear ratio.
I'm not aware of any easy nubie methods to determine between the regular NA and GTUs transmission. Since only the 5th gear is different, it's not going to matter much anyway.

Look in the doorjamb and see if there is a sticker listing a code beginning with FB and ending with two numerical digits. At least that would tell you what the body used to be.

Just a thought, but if you don't know the difference between an S4 and S5 RX-7, what makes you think that your car has S5 tail lights and interior?

zenki = earlier
chuki = middle
kouki = later
Since there are only two versions of the 2Gen RX-7, the S4 is the earlier (zenki), and the S5 is the later (kouki).
