Fully imported, it shared some features with the five-speed SSS coupe introduced to the Australian market in the first quarter of 1975. (...) Externally, the GX looked little different to the lesser 180B models, with only minor changes to identify it as the flagship of the Datsun 180B range. There was the option of metallic paintwork, which was not available on the locally-assembled 180B’s, but to the casual observer it was difficult to see where the extra money was spent'.
