Good question. I don't know if Nissan actually used them or not. I personally haven't seen one. The GT-Rs had the GT500 class covered, and the Silvias were used for GT300. I guess there could have been some privateers who used the Fairlady Z.

The FedEx 300ZX LM was the works Nissan in the 1994-95 JGTC

They looked like this with FedEx badging and Japanese flags

Actually, the 300ZX you posted pics of was a competitor in ACO Le Mans racing, scoring the first overall victory for a GTS class car at the 24hours of Daytona.

It was a factory effort campaigned by Steve Millen, long time stalwart of Nissan Z's and several time IMSA and SCCA champion.

Here's a picture colllage of the #76 car. The team cars were numbered #75 and #74. In 1992, these cars took the IMSA GTS championship.

And as an interesting sidenote, here's the Nissan factory GTU entry for the same years; the KA24 powered Nissan 240SX, which took the 1992 IMSA GTU championship.

Right, but as I had said, the one I posted is not the same exact car as the JGTC car, however the JGTC car was the same 300ZX-GTS from IMSA, with FedEx sponsoring and Japanese drivers, though the color was the same red white and blue livery. I'm struggling to find a picture of it though, when i search all i can find is Gran Turismo 2, where the car appeared :p We are talking 94 and 95, the JGTC's first two seasons, where it was GT1 and GT2 before GT500 and GT300 ;)

I believe
