After the 4th tournament (1967), the year was included in the Japan GP title. Nissan produced the R381, equipped with a Chevrolet 5.5-liter V8 engine, for the 1968 Japan GP. Its unique "aero stabilizers" - the left and right portions of the wing moving independently - earned it the nickname "Monster Bird". This commemorative car is the victorious No. 20, driven by H. Kitano.

At the previous year’s Japan GP, Nissan had reluctantly used a Chevrolet engine due to the lack of development time. However, entered in the 1969 Japan GP was the R382, which was equipped with Nissan’s own 6-liter V12 DOHC engine (600PS). The R382 dominated the race, beating the Porsche and Toyota 7 to take both 1st place (M. Kurosawa) and 2nd place (H. Kitano).

This is the machine driven by K. Hoshino at the Fuji Super Silhouette races (held between 1979 and 1984).

Mounting a VG30 twin-turbo engine in a March 86G chassis, the R86V was a machine developed for the 1986 racing season. One special feature was its side radiators that improved its aerodynamics.

With the R89C, the March Engineering chassis was replaced by a Lola Cars International chassis, and the VRH30 engine with the larger VRH35. Other major features of this machine are the beautiful Nissan cowl design and full telemetry system. It debuted for Calsonic in the 3rd round (Fuji), driven by K. Hoshino and Toshio Suzuki, though it was forced to retire. It came in 8th in the 5th round (Fuji)...

A distinguishing feature of the R88C was that it was powered by a new engine, the VRH30, developed for racing at Le Mans. Driven by #24 YHP’s No.1 driver, Masahiro Hasemi, it took part in the 1988 and 1989 JSPC races (up to the 2nd round in 1989). In the 1988 season, it came in 3rd in the 1st round (Fuji) and 5th round (Suzuka). In 1989, it was 3rd in the 2nd round (Fuji) and 4th in the World Spor...
