Chassis:
Although built in 1987, chassis 87G-3 was never raced as a Nissan 87E. During the following winter, it was upgraded to 88C specification complete with a longer wheelbase and the VRH30T engine. During the 1988 season it served as one of two works cars. It was primarily raced by Kazuyoshi Hoshino; for the Japanese races he was joined by Kenji Takahashi and at Le Mans his co-pilots were Takao Wada and Aguri Suzuki. An engine failure brought an early end to the Le Mans efforts of the car but in the national races it reached the finish several times with a 5th as the best result.
At some point after its contemporary racing career the car was sold. More recently it passed into the hands of the current owner, who has had the rare Nissan prepared for historic racing. As far as we know it is the only R88C currently in private hands.
