Having raced the Skyline GT-R in 1995 and 1996, Nissan (NISMO) decided to enter a newly developed GT car in 1997. In that year, following a closely fought contest with Porsche and McLaren, the No.23 car (K. Hoshino, E. Comas, Masahiko Kageyama) came in 12th overall, 5th in class. The R390 name was derived from the previous R380 GP machine.
