NISMO's "Le Mans challenge" continued for two years, 1995-96, but it is difficult to win at Le Mans with a production car like the Skyline. So from 1997 to 1999 Nissan took up the challenge using a purpose-built GT car. In 1998, the R390 GT1's second year at Le Mans, car No.32 (Hoshino, A. Suzuki, Kageyama) came in 3rd overall - Nissan's best result in this event.
