The GT is the base model (S5 only I think), then the GT-R, GT-X and GT-Limited in that order. There in no direct equivalent to the US Turbo II, but the GT-X is probably closest.

Most models didn't have an LSD. Only the GT-X and Infini did.

Actually Australia got the same driveline choices as the US; non-turbo coupe, turbo coupe and non-turbo convertible. Australian FC's were much closer to US models than Japanese ones.

Note that most Stageas were non-turbo and 2WD. The 4WD turbo'd RS Four models are pretty rare and only had a 232hp RB25DET. There were only a very small handful of Autech 260RS models with the GT-R's RB26DETT. The RS Four was very heavy (~3600lb) and in stock form only did a 15-sec quarter mile so I'd stay away from the track to avoid embarrassment. The hideous looks do make it a great sleeper though...
