your favourite fc?

hey, i'm just looking to see some pics of your guys favorite FCs. i am looking to purchase one very soon - an 86 GXL from a friend of mine (who posts here too!) and am just interested in seeing some of the things that can be done with them. i have been into Nissan for a few years now, and can't wait to be behind the seat of my 7.

and just to let you know, i have already looked through every page of the gallery, just hoping to see some new stuff that wasn't in the gallery

thanks in advance

ignorant question - is S5 89-91?

and if so, 86-88 are S4?

what does the S5 represent or signify?

your right. 86-88 is Series 4, they have the straight taillights. 89-92 is Series 5 and they have the circle taillights. Easiest way I know of to tell them apart is the taillights, since I think that's the only difference.

For looks, the S5 has the different taillights, different front bumper, body color trim (big difference).

Also, they have slightly different gauges, center console. They also have the 200hp/200lbs motor as opposed to the 182hp/183lbs motor. There are other subtle mechanical differences, but they are very similar cars.

are both NA and TII versions, both FC3S? or does the NA have a different chassis code from the TII?
