Nov 13, 2013 at 14:43 comment added YCor It would be useful to describe the automorphism group of $G_n$ at the first place. This group lies in an extension $1\to\mathbf{Z}^2\to\mathrm{Aut}(G_n)\to\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbf{Z})\to 1$. The right map is the action on the quotient by the central and characteristic subgroup $\langle z\rangle$. The kernel $\mathbf{Z}^2$ is an overgroup of index $n$ of the group of inner automorphisms: these are the automorphisms $(x,y,z)\mapsto (xz^a,yz^b,z)$ for $(a,b)\in\mathbf{Z}$.
