Nissan is one of the leading Japanese automakers that made an impact to the world.
In fiction, Nissan cars are popular JDM and import tuners driven by street racers, delinquents who are in trouble with the law, or simply a high school graduate who wishes to get a new set of wheels in time to park it in college. They're famously used in Japanese media, as well as a few in Australian and New Zealand since Nissan are well known grey imports in its respective countries.

The lesser cousin of the Skyline GT-R. Except most of them are rear-wheel drive.
The sixth-generation Skyline marketed as the R30 was released on August 1981, based on the existing C31 Laurel platform. But what highlights in this folder is the Skyline RS ([=DR30=]}, introduced two months later. Nicknamed the "[[FanNickname Tekkamen (鉄仮面) or Iron Mask]]" due to its front fascia, this stripped-down lightweight race-ready sports car features lots of luxurious items and features removed from the car as means to weight reduction (down to 1,130 kg (2,491 lbs.)). It's powered by a naturally-aspirated 148 hp 4-valve DOHC [=FJ20E=] inline-4 engine. Two years later, the RS gets a [[MidSeasonUpgrade turbocharged upgrade]], producing 40 more hp. It became a prominent FIA Turbo C race car known as the Skyline Super Silhouette, driven by the GT-R Works team that competed in the All Japan Sports Prototype Championship and was noted for Tomica as its distinctive sponsor.
In 1985, the R31 Skyline was an evolution to the R30, and just like its predecessor, it's based on the Laurel platform. This is known as the "[[FanNickName Seventhsu]]" or simply "[[FanNickname 7th Sukairain]]" by owners. The ultimate version is the [=HR31=] '''GTS-R Coupe''', built to allow homologation for Group A racing. It's powered by a reworked 210 hp 2.0 L [=RB20DET-R=] DOHC turbocharged inline-6 engine.
For both the R32, R33 and R34, The GTS has been a standard trim for the models, with the GTS-t being its turbocharged derivative, while the GTS-4 being its [=4WD=] version. The R34 instead would be referred as the [=25GT=], powered by a 2.0 L-2.5 L [=RB20DE=] NEO inline-6 engine. Said [=25GT=] would be popularized as a venerable drift car used in Japan's drifting series, D1 Grand Prix, where the Blitz-tuned [=ER34=] Skyline Sedan was widely used by Ken Nomura from 2001 up until 2011, making an impressive 2nddplace finish in 2006 and 2008.

* The old Skyline sedan is one of the police fleet of the Inunari in ''Manga/CatsEye'', usually seen in the hands of the bumbling police detective Toshio Utsumi:
** The Unmarked Inunari car (stashed with CounterfeitCash) that Utsumi takes for the night drive in an attempt to find a place to cover and destroy the paintings at episode 41 is an R30 Skyline sedan. When the engine breaks down, Hitomi subdues Utsumi and takes said R30 for herself.
** The R31 Skyline Turbo RS sedan serves as a major keisatsu car, driven by Utsumi in episode 72 of, who akes the car to the case of catching thieves.
* Police detective and sergeant Wataru Takagi of ''Manga/DetectiveConan'' uses an [=ER34=] Skyline sedan as his personal means of transportation in the anime and movies.
* This however would be made popular in ''Manga/InitialD''.

* Zafar Younis's pooled car used in series 4 of ''Series/{{Spooks}}'' is a black Nissan Skyline [=25GT=] Turbo.
* A burgundy red Skyline GTS-t was depicted as the car owned by resident Melbourne drug dealer [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dino_Dibra Dino Dibra]] of ''Series/{{Underbelly}}'', and gets pissed at some road rage driver who "ran a stop sign", nearly denting their car. Rocco Arico deals with it by [[DisproportionateRetribution shooting the driver]] as they escape.
[[AC:Video Games]]
* Criminals can use the Import Tuner in ''VideoGame/BattlefieldHardline''. It uses the Skyline [=ER34=] as the basis, mixed with some hodgepodge of a Lancer and Impreza, especially the front fascia.
* The Saloon GT from the '''very first''' ''VideoGame/{{Burnout}}'' game is loosely based on the Nissan Skyline 25 GT with a Nismo body kit, but with an S15 Silvia front fascia.
* You can equip the Skyline Super Silhouette Race Car body in ''VideoGame/ChoroQ''. Except, all the Tomica and Tomy logos are replaced by the Takara logo. In fact, this would be before Takara's merge with Tomy in 2006.
* The R31 GTS-R can be obtained via specialty dealer through ''VideoGame/ForzaMotorsport 7''. Other than that, you would your hands in this almighty Group 5 race car, the Skyline Turbo Super Silhouette, except, the Tomica logos are missing. Fortunately it was fixed in the 2023 reboot.
* There is plenty and plenty of non-GT-R Skylines ever since the very first ''VideoGame/GranTurismo'' game. It's usually obtainable via Used Car Dealership.
** Other than those [=GT-Ss=], ''4'' introduces Ken Nomura's 2004 [=D1GP=]-winning Blitz [=ER34=].
** But mostly, how can we not forget the R30 Super Silhouette back in ''2''? It's one of those prizes at the [='80s=] Sports Car Cup you can get. It finally makes an [[TheBusCameBack extreme comeback]] after '''''23 years''''', the longest period of absence between entries in the series! And the R30 Super Silhouette joins with the fellow Gr.3 gang, performance-wise.
* The Elegy from ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas'' closely resembles to the R32 GTS-t with an R31 front fascia. This plays a pivotal role during race-related mission, especially Woozie, who owns a [[RealMenWearPink pink]] one.
* All of the Class B cars in the Japanese release of ''[[VideoGame/TheNeedForSpeed Nissan Presents: Over Drivin' Skyline Memorial]]'' would be this in spades.
* Ikki Fujisawa of ''VideoGame/RacingLagoon'' drives a black/red two-toned [[{{Fauxrrari}} [=RS2000turbo=]]], essentially a [=DR30=] Skyline RS Turbo. The body kit mirrors that of the Super Silhouette Skyline race car that competed in the Fuji Grand Champion Series, [[CoolCar and it makes it look pretty badass]]. [[spoiler:This is the same fate as Makoto Sawaki did when he wrecked his car at the exact same corner during the Yokohama GP. Fortunately, unlike Makoto, he survived.]]
* There are lots of non-GT-R Skylines throughout ''VideoGame/TokyoXtremeRacer''. Especially up to ''Zero'' and in the ''Drift'' sub-series, seen in the hands of rivals. Also included is the SPECIAL Blitz Skyline that was used by Ken Nomura.
* As seen during AttractMode, all the police cars used by the V.C.P.D. in the Platform/SegaSaturn and Platform/{{Dreamcast}} release of ''VideoGame/VirtuaCop 2'' are all based on the R32 Skyline coupé.
* The Nissan Skyline RS-X (R30) appears in the Japanese release of ''VideoGame/WanganMidnightMaximumTune 5''. One of the aero kits allows it to resemble to an R31 GTS-R or hell, the Super Silhouette race car.
* The Razor in one of the updated of ''VideoGame/{{Wreckfest}}'' is inspired by the 1993 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T with a drift body kit. Fit Livery 6, and it would resemble [[Film/TwoFastTwoFurious Brian O'Conner's R34 Skyline]]! ...sadly it's replaced by a generic Rising Sun design.

-->--''[=HotCars.com=]''
The Nissan Z-series is a model series of sports cars manufactured by Nissan in seven generations since 1969.
The original Z was first sold on October 1969 in Japan as the Nissan Fairlady Z (Japanese: 日産・フェアレディZ, ''Nissan Fearedi Zetto'') as a replacement for the Nissan Bluebird, and initially marketed as the Datsun 240Z for international customers. Known for their looks, reliability, performance and affordability, since then Nissan has manufactured seven generations of Z-cars: Nissan Fairlady Z (S30), Nissan Fairlady Z (S130), Nissan 300ZX, Nissan 350Z, Nissan 370Z, with the most recent--simply known as the Nissan Z--in production since 2022.

[[spoiler:During a deathmatch race between Ryosuke's newly modified RX-7 and Rin Hojo's R32, Ryuji uses his car to help slow Rin's car after a brake failure.]]
* ''Manga/WanganMidnight'' becomes a legend that creates new legends where the Nissan Fairlady plays a huge role of the Wangan story...
** Perhaps every tuner enthusiast and racing game fan would fully recognise this legendary HerosClassicCar, And that is the famous, but supernaturally deadly midnight blue S30, the '''Devil Z'''. The owner of this CoolCar is none other than TheProtagonist, Akio Asakura. [[spoiler:Previous owners of this car died in numerous car accidents, making this one deadly FragileSpeedster. Even Eriko's late brother also named]] ''[[spoiler:Akio Asakura]]'' [[spoiler:was one of the victims of this tragedy.]]
--->'''Akio:''' You can refuse as much as you want, but I am like you Devil Z!
*** In the earlier chapters, Akio once owned a red Z31 Z and briefly challenged Tatsuya Shima's Blackbird (a black Porsche 964 Turbo. He sold it before he got his hands to this CoolCar.
** And speaking of [=Z31=]... Harada, Hiramoto's friend owns this car. [[spoiler:While chasing down Reina in her R32, his engine was blown out from {{Overheating}}, prompting Harada to ride along with Hiramoto in his R32]].
** Makoto Morishita, a fashion model and close friend of Reina Akikawa drives a yellow Z32 [=300ZX=] after she sold her Impreza. This becomes the central car for "The Legendary F1 Turbine", as this car is tuned by Yamashita.
* ''Shakotan Boogie'', being a predecessor of ''Wangan Midnight'':
** One of the deuteragonists, Akira Shimizu, owns a PimpedOutCar on his S30, with a G-Nose kit and "Yanky Mate!" decals.
** One of the minor characters, Johnny, drives a Z31.
[[AC:Film -- Animation]]
* There are dozens of Datsun [=Zs=] in the background when Mater and Lightning [=McQueen=] are visiting Tokyo in ''WesternAnimation/Cars2''. But there is one notable Fairlady; that is Mach Matsuo, a seasoned international racer, who serves as Shu Todoroki's coach.
[[AC:Film -- Live Action]]
* Fairladies are one of the hot import tuners of the ''Franchise/TheFastAndTheFurious'' films.
** Takashi, the [[RedBaron Drift King]] and the BigBad of ''Film/TheFastAndTheFuriousTokyoDrift'' is the driver behind this iconic Black Veilside 350Z with Ghostlight scarab graphics. His [[TheDragon close friend]] Morimoto also drives a 350Z, except its gold and black, and fitted with a Top Secret kit. [[spoiler:Both [=Zs=] were wrecked in the process.

* The Joker, K's souped-up patrol car in Series/RobotDetective is built around a Nissan Fairlady Z (S30). Also a FlyingCar that is still cool enough to be more than just a CoolCar.
* A 1985 Nissan 300ZX [[DescriptionPorn Z31 3-litre V6 Turbo]] in ''Series/WellingtonParanormal'' is perhaps a CoolCar with HauntedTechnology.
[[AC:Music]]
* The ''Herbie: Fully Loaded'' song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ot0UDplL0fo First]]" by Creator/LindsayLohan sure gave that music video that CarPorn love. Besides the titular sentient Beetle himself, the car that also takes the cake is a silver [=350Z=] having a 'lil drag race with the other drivers.
[[AC:Video Games]]
* While the 370Z exists since ''VideoGame/{{Asphalt}} 5'', in ''8: Airborne'', you get this 370Z Special Edition, a fully PimpedOutCar with a water-themed livery inspired by the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Wave_off_Kanagawa The Great Wave off Kanagawa]].
* This is the car detective Raymond Broady drives in ''VideoGame/ChaseHQ'' sequel ''S.C.I.: Special Criminal Investigation''. It's a red roofless [=300ZX=] T-Top Turbo, allowing Tony Gibson at the passenger side to shoot his firearm.
* In ''VideoGame/TheCrewMotorfest'', there is a Motorfest headquarters in Fresno, [[spoiler:and it is where the player obtains a special modified Nissan [=300ZX=] from the end of one of the stories.]]
* ''Colin [=McRae=]: VideoGame/{{DIRT}} 2'' uniquely features the Nissan 350Z to the lineup for Rally, Rallycross & Trailblazer. Quite uncommon to see a modern Fairlady dishing out gravel in rallies like this. It became prominent as it is the car of Mohammed ben Sulayem for the three mentioned disciplnes, as he has is own unique livery to that.
** In ''DIRT Rally 2.0'', the Datsun 240Z made waves in the lineup as a beginner friendly historic RWD rally car.
* No matter what generation the Z is, ''VideoGame/{{Forza}}'' and ''VideoGame/GranTurismo'' would commonly have many of them. For distinction, the FM-tuned 350Z is depicted in the box art for ''Forza Motorsport 2'', whereas the latter have the Fairlady Z Concept in ''3'', and a Gran Turismo 4 Limited Edition 350Z in... uh... ''[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Gran Turismo 4]]'', as well as the many many trims, plus the tuned and racing variants, primarily, the [=GT500=] race car from Super GT.
** As part of a collaboration with Donut Media, ''Forza Horizon 5'' has "Hi-Low" 350Zs, which the player can use freely after completing their associated Horizon Story.
* ''VideoGame/{{GRID}}'' has this Top Secret 350Z as a Pro-Tuned class race car. In later sequels, it jumps through disciplines, such as ''Autosport'' as a Drift car and in ''2019'' as a Gr.2 race car, similar to the other Group [=GT4=] race cars.
** In ''GRID 2'', it adds Chris Forsberg's Formula D-spec V8-powered [[ProductPlacement NOS Energy]] 370Z, with a Nismo body kit as a drift car.
* The De'Leo 58 is seen driven by Racket Informants and several {{Mooks}} in various missions of ''VideoGame/MafiaIII''. It's based on the Datsun 240Z and is considered to be the very few Japanese-based cars in the game. One of Jonathan Maguire's images on him shows Danny Burke next to that yellow CoolCar.
* The Tokyo Cop in ''VideoGame/MidnightClub II'' is heavily based on the 1989 Nissan Fairlady Z. TruthInTelevision, said Z was widely used by Japanese police at that time.
* ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeed'' has somehow made an on-and-off tradition of pairing Nissan's Z-series cars with the ladies:
** ''[[VideoGame/TheNeedForSpeed Over Drivin' Skyline Memorial]]'', in which [[EverybodyOwnsAFord Everybody Owns a Nissan]] is officially the first game to utilize the legendary Z, where you get the [=240ZG=] and the [=300ZX=]. [[NoExportForYou But since the game was only sold in Japan...]]
** Fans would easily remember the Z for the ''first time'' in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUnderground Underground]]'', which featured the 2003 Nissan 350Z. [[spoiler:A mysterious silver 350Z is revealed to be driven by Melissa, the game's PostFinalBoss after beating Eddie.]] But what stood out by many fans growing up is the custom metallic green [=350Z=] with a purple dragon vinyl in the sequel, driven by Rachel Teller.
** The 350Z would be Neville's Tier 3 tuner car in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedCarbon Carbon]]'' after Nissan was previously absent in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedMostWanted Most Wanted]]''. In its portable version ''Own the City'', the facelifted 2006 variant of the 350Z is driven by Daemon of the Corps. [[spoiler:Sara also drives one during her PostFinalBoss race after her Toyota [=MR2=] got blown up by EX.]]
** The opening sequence of ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUndercover Undercover]]'' allows you to try ATasteOfPower of the new Nissan 370Z ([=Z34=]), before you are given a Nissan [=240SX=] ([=S13=]) as your StarterMon.
** The [=370Z=] would be Zarinah's signature car, seen in her opening in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedNitro Nitro]]'', used as her car for the Silver Cup.
** The {{Fanservice}} duo, Nikki and Mila in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedTheRun The Run]]'' both drive identical [=370Zs=] for the EpicRace. [[spoiler:Nikki later reappears once more in Stage 9 as the last lady standing against Jack. Guess Mila didn't make the cut.]]
** Travis, as the anonymous Outlaw drive classic Fairlady [=240ZG=]. When ''not'' an Outlaw however has him in a classic Skyline [=2000GT-R=].
** While the 350Z returned in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedPayback Payback]]'', [[SpicyLatina La Catarina]], TheLeader of Graveyard Shift, also drives this Day of the Dead-themed junk. The [=240ZG=] itself is one of the 5 derelict cars, and you can modify this Japanese classic JDM in various builds.
** Speaking of ''Payback'', Ana Rivera in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedHeat Heat]]'' drives a light blue 350Z with a bodykit last used in ''Shift''. [[spoiler:Too bad she had to say goodbye to her beloved Z as [[FelonyMisdemeanor Officer Danny Shaw impounds it for]] ''[[DisproportionateRetribution utterly no reason]]''.]]
** Two known rivals in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUnbound Unbound]]'' in their [=Zs=]: Waru's [[PimpedOutCar pimped out]] [=240ZG=], and Justicia's 350Z who for some reason [[RecurringExtra appears in every race]]. Also in the prologue, you get to tryout an [=RZ34=] Z Prototype as part of a "car delivery" for Alec.
* A black Datsun [=240Z=] is Lo Wang's personal CoolCar, as seen before his first mission at the beginning of ''VideoGame/ShadowWarrior2013''. ...with some [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=logBCB1YJk8 Transformers music]] to boot!
-->'''Lo Wang:''' God damn right! ''(singing)'' '''YOU GOT THE POWER!''' WHEN ALL HELL'S BREAKIN' LOOSE, YOU'LL BE RIDING THE EYE OF THE STORM.
* The 600 Coupe S in ''VideoGame/{{Sleeping Dogs|2012}}'' is quite clearly based on the Datsun [=240Z=].
* ''VideoGame/TokyoXtremeRacer'':
** Extremely common through-out every single game of the series, from standard opponents to bosses. The most notable owner of one is, of course, [[MyNameIsQuestionMark UNKNOWN]], whose dark blue S30 is shrouded in legend.
** Midnight Wolf switches out his usual Skyline [=GT-R=] for a Z32 in a ''Series/KnightRider''-inspired body kit in ''Street Supremacy''.
* While Tatsuya's Blackbird is clearly a 911, the international release of ''VideoGame/WanganMidnightMaximumTune'' has his Blackbird changed into a [=Z33=] instead, equipped with Aero Set C (Nismo S-Tune GT) body kit, in an attempt to disguise it as a Porsche. Starting in ''4'', it now uses the proper 911, albeit the RUF Yellowbird.
** And with the Fairlady Z alone, has added ever single generation to date.

->''"None, regardless of talent, could dispute the GT-R's ability to leave mouths agape and spines tingling. Its mind-blowing faculties seemingly blur the line between surreality and reality-what a fantastical "Anyone, anytime, anywhere" supercar should do."''
-->--'''[=MotorTrend=]'''
The Nissan GT-R (R35) is a car made by Nissan to succeed the Nissan Skyline GT-R, the high-performance version of the Nissan Skyline, in 2007. Being a ContinuityReboot of the GT-R nameplate, it serves as Nissan's premier 2+2 sports coupe.
It dates all the way back to the TurnOfTheMillennium when Nissan intended to build the world's finest supercar that would beat its competitors. The GT-R was originally part of its revival plan during the twilight of the R34 Skyline GT-R (as the succeeding V-series Skyline generations [[RevisitingTheRoots revisited their luxury sedan roots from the Prince Skyline days]], [[DecompositeCharacter thus separating the GT-R nameplate by intentions]]). Its very first SuperPrototype, the GT-R concept was unveiled during the Tokyo Motor Show in 2001. Nissan would confirm production, intends to worldwide markets in limited quantities. Nissan would eventually build a revised version in 2005, now called the GT-R Proto, also unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show. Officials say 80% to 90% of the body would base its production on that prototype, which in fact, actually happened.
After seven yeats of development, the GT-R was finally unveiled in 2007, built using the PM platform. A supercar combining high-performance with high-practicality of a grand tourer, new features include advanced aerodynamics, a new 473 hp 3.8 L twin-turbocharged [=VR38DETT=] V6 engine that sets the fastest accelerating car of 2009, an active suspension, a drivetrain with a rear mounted independent transaxle and its multifunctional-display designed by Creator/PolyphonyDigital, the creators of ''VideoGame/GranTurismo''. Its body uses a mix of steel, aluminium and carbon fibre. It's one of the first to ever feature launch-control and dual-clutch transmission.
It was Nissan's first ever supercar[[note]]Unless you count the R390 [=GT1=] road car[[/note]] and their first grand tourer since 1992 Nissan Leopard, and designed to beat other supercars in par of price and performance such as the Porsche 911, Chevrolet Corvette and the Dodge Viper. Despite being sold in limited quantities, the GT-R was offered in numerous variants and facelifts thoughout its current production timeline, ranging from the special edition [=SpecV=] in 2019, to the high-performing factory-tuned GT-R NISMO introduced in 2015, to even the limited bespoke GT-R50 by Italdesign in 2019.
Other than being the Japanese supercar, it would see action in motorsports, as seen in the [=GT3=] racing series in which ''Gran Turismo'' key people Kazunori Yamauchi and Jann Maddenborough competed with the car. It also competed in the short-lived FIA [=GT1=] World Championship where the GT-R won the drivers championship in 2011. But mostly, the GT-R plays a key role in the Japanese premier racing series, Super GT, which saw numerous Driver and Team championship titles throughout its lifespan.
The GT-R was highly praised amongst enthusiasts and critics alike, to the point ''Series/{{Top Gear|UK}} calls it "one of the most incredible cars of any kind ever built".

* The blue GT-R Pure Edition is the car Shunsuke Hayami operates in ''VideoGame/ChousokuHenkeiGyrozetter''. Combine this with the other Godzillas and you have yourself a '''GT-RRR''' Gyrozetter.
* Other than his beloved Fiat 500, Kazunobu Chiba of ''Manga/DetectiveConan'' runs this domestic supercar; a [=MY17=] Godzilla.
* One of the drivers who'd bring a domestic supercar in ''Manga/MFGhost'' would be Shun Aiba, Kanata's friend and mentor. His chosen car for the race would be his white Nissan GT-R NISMO. [[spoiler:And while the car is actually fast in the straights thanks to its acceleration, he miscalculated his timing when he overshot his brakes to a runoff [[DownToTheLastPlay during a three wide sudden death between him against Kaito's 488 and Yuudai's R8]], conceding his third place and [[FromBadToWorse dropping down to 6th, since he's also overtaken by Yosuke's AMG GT]].]]

* Brian O'Connor must be switching between Godzillas throughout ''Franchise/TheFastAndTheFurious''
** [[spoiler:The ending of ''Film/FastFive'' gets into an UnknownRematchConclusion where Dominic Toretto in a black 2009 SRT-8 challenge Brian in his GT-R to a race. The film cuts to the end credits as Dom accepts Brian's challenge, but you get to see the outcome in the very beginning of the [[Film/FastAndFurious6 next film]]]].
** ...and said next film? In ''Film/FastAndFurious6'' Brian can finally relax [[spoiler:after bringing [[BigBad Owen Shaw]] to justice]], he celebrates by buying himself a Blue GT-R, decked with a Bensopra body kit. It's parked at the Toretto House at the end.
** During the climax of ''Film/Furious7'', Brian would take command in his GT-R with Ramsey alongside him, while being hunted by Mose Jakande's UAV gunfire. Thanks to its hydraulic system, it can drive UnderTheTruck.
* Name any movie directed by Creator/NeillBlomkamp. You're certainly guaranteed to see the Nissan GT-R to be an all-show in every one of his movies as part of the AuthorAppeal, and hell, Blomkamp himself is a proud GT-R owner:
** Even ''Film/{{Chappie}}'' himself at one point would hilariously carjack a grey Nissan GT-R.
** It's over 140 years old (given the film was set in 2154) and yet, this battle-ready Nissan GT-R of ''Film/{{Elysium}}'' is futuristic relic, built as a venerable and roadworthy heist vehicle.
** The GT-R would be exaggerated as one of the featured cars of the ''Film/{{Gran Turismo|2023}}'' movie, since it has strong ties as the GT Academy car:
*** This would be the car Jann Maddenborough would use during Race Camp, which would have been source of historical inaccuracy and AnachronismStew, given that scene was set in 2011, because 1) He used a Nissan 370Z in RealLife, and 2) that GT-R is a 2017 post-facelifted model.
*** Following his success in Race Camp, Jann would jump into the almighty GT-R NISMO [=GT3=] race car to obtain his FIA racing license. [[spoiler:This gained infamy by its ''logical extreme'' during Jann's first VLN race where [[https://youtu.be/GBuElSi_t-U?feature=shared it highlights the infamous Nürburgring Nordschleife crash]] where the car would ultimately '''''kill a spectator'''''.

* Breaking the mold from just only European cars, has this {{DLC}}. One of the few Japanese cars ever added in ''VideoGame/{{Driveclub}}'' has this [=MY15=] Nissan GT-R and the [[PaletteSwap track-oriented GT-R NISMO]]. One of the best of the best in the Performance class and Super class respectively.
* You can have John Tanner rock a Godzilla supercar in ''VideoGame/DriverSanFrancisco''. Its second Race Takedown activity where the targets are all driving Nissans, one of them is a GT-R.
* [=GT-Rs=] are quite ubiquitous since its inception in ''VideoGame/ForzaMotorsport 3''. Its special editions would be highly decked with a Liberty Walk body kit.
** The initial drive of ''Motorsport 7'' put you in Ukyo Takagi's shoes, as you drive the 2015 GT-R [=GT500=] around one lap of the Nürburgring during a heavy rainfall.
** Other than that, the [=MY17=] GT-R would be known for its errors such as [[OffModel missing side mirrors and non-functional brake lights]]. Thankfully it was patched. Also, that GT-R would usually be the featured car in ''Horizon's'' Forzathon weekly challenges.
* It all dates back in ''VideoGame/GranTurismo Concept'' with its 7-speed GT-R Concept seen during the 2001 Tokyo Motor Show, but still is an ImprobablyCoolCar, nonetheless. Even it runs a Le Mans-spec GT-R Concept race car too, the Dream Car Championship reward. By ''Gran Turismo 5'', there's an [[PaletteSwap absurd amount of Godzillas to list down]], including the vanilla GT-R, GT-R Spec V, and even the 2012 Black Edition. Plus the 2005 Proto and the "Black Mask" version with its bumpers fully covered. Not to mention the Super GT [=GT500=] race cars and the GT Academy edition as well.
** Also, the GT-R would serve as the [[https://e.snmc.io/lk/f/x/16f754cf27ad108a3f159192ef66ad49/6678969 featured car]] of the ''Gran Turismo 5: Prologue'' cover.
** By ''Gran Turismo Sport'', there are still [=GT-Rs=] aplenty, serving as the basis for a Gr.4, Gr.3 (GT-R Nismo [=GT3=]), Gr.2 (the aforementioned Super GT cars) and even a Gr.B rally car. If you manage to get all gold in the DrivingTest, you're awarded the GT-R safety car. Yes. The one that looks like that '''''infamous Skyline GT-R pace car'''''.
** As a way to celebrate the release of the aforementioned 2023 film, ''Gran Turismo 7'' gives you Jann Maddenborough's 2018 GT-R Nismo [=GT3=] movie car for free.
* Who'd know a Nissan supercar would show up in ''VideoGame/InitialDArcadeStage'', where some of their courses (ie. Irohazaka) are in the same prefecture as the GT-R's manufacturing plant (in Tochigi Prefecture, no less!), unless it had to do with the collaboration event with ''MF Ghost'', especially the GT-R NISMO driven bt the aforementioned Shun Aiba.
* Just like the Skyline GT-R, this almighty Godzilla successor would be ''the'' Japanese supercar of ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeed'':
** It debuted in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedProStreet [=ProStreet=]]]''. Not only you get the vanilla GT-R but also its 2005 prototype, as seen in the game cover. Though you can't modify the GT-R Proto, [[CoversAlwaysLie despite the cover saying otherwise]].
** The GT-R would be the Tri-City Bay's Super State Cruiser during high-speed pursuits of ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUndercover Undercover]]''. The same car would be used as a Federal Cruiser for ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedTheRun The Run]]''.
** Both the vanilla GT-R and the GT-R [=SpecV=] appear in ''Shift'', for the former, a Works conversion makes it Super GT race car, while the latter makes it an [=FIA GT1=] car.
*** It's more prominent in the sequel. As you start the game, you get ATasteOfPower with the NFS Edition GT-R around Suzuka, and if you [[spoiler:manage to beat Jamie Campbell-Walter in the FIA [=GT1=] Championship, his GT-R [=GT1=], the game's cover car, is all yours.]]
** In ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedHotPursuit Hot Pursuit]]'', the GT-R [=SpecV=] would be prominently be used in the "Trail of Destruction" racer event.
** It shows up in the 2015 reboot, where the GT-R has body kits galore from Rocket Bunny, Varis, Liberty Walk, Pandem and Bensophia. One post-launch update adds the 2017 facelift.
** ...and said 2017 facelift would be seen in one of the House's pawns, driven by Diamond Block's [[BalkanBastard Mitko Vasilev]] from ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedPayback Payback]]''...
** ...and again in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUnbound Unbound]]'' where the GT-R also had a {{pimped out|Car}} version from Legendary Customs. Ukrainian racer Anechka runs a [[AnimalMotif zebra-patterned]] GT-R.
* And speaking of that GT-R Concept from ''Gran Turismo'', you also get to drive '''this''' ImprobablyCoolCar in ''VideoGame/ProjectGothamRacing 3''.
* It's a SecretCharacter in Creator/{{SEGA}}'s arcade RacingGame ''R-Tuned: Ultimate Street Racing'', [[spoiler:where a mysterious rival named Mr. R [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIBqKxP6qXg runs a purely bone-stock Nissan GT-R]] in a world full of {{pimped out|Car}} tuners. And it's [[NonPlayableCharacter unplayable]], too.]]
* The "hero" car featured on the cover of ''VideoGame/RidgeRacer 7'' is the Kamata [=RC410=], drawn mainly from its still-concept Nissan GT-R (R35). And said "hero" car even predated the FIA [=GT1/GT3=] spec GT-R in RealLife!
* The Takumi RX-T in ''VideoGame/RocketLeague'' would resemble the Nissan GT-R judging by its headlights. Just only if the game didn't give out the [[Manga/InitialD Fujiwara name]].
* Also, there is the Hanzo GT from ''VideoGame/SplitSecond'' that primarily takes cues to the Nissan GT-R, thanks to its headlight.
* Other than the Skyline GT-R R34, the R35 appears alongside the other Nissans of ''VideoGame/TestDriveUnlimited2''.
* The GT-R was first introduced in ''VideoGame/WanganMidnightMaximumTune [=3DX+=]'', alongside its Hakusoka cousin. While it is a CoolCar and arguably the first supercar at that time, the car can't be visually dressed-up, and would use an unusual tuning system. Rikako Ohta would be the one to do the horse work instead of Jun Kitami.
** There are also special edition Godzillas in later installments such as the [=MY17=] GT-R as a terminal scratch reward and the GT-R Nismo as July's Navi Scratch-off reward.
** And introduced in ''[=6RR=]'' would be this rare GT-R50 by Italdesign. Finally, this GT-R has aero kits.

%%[[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]]
->''"Nissan's S-chassis, or Silvia, as it was named in Japan, is synonymous with the art of drifting and has long served as one of the most desirable vehicle chassis by enthusiasts worldwide. That fact remains even today, over two decades after the last bit of production took place."''
-->--[[https://www.motortrend.com/features/nissan-silvia-s13-s14-s15-drift-car-history-specs-photos/ The Classic Nissan Silvia S13, S14, S15: History, Generations, Specs, Photos]], ''[=MotorTrend=]''
Arguably ''the'' most popular and ubiquitous JDM tuner and drift car there is.
[[ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming Derived from Sylvia, the nymph who served the goddess of the hunt, Diana]], the Nissan Silvia is a series of front-engine, rear-wheel drive sports cars produced from 1965 until the end of 2002. Various have been exported of Japan and [[MarketBasedTitle marketed]] as either the [=200SX=] or [=240SX=], usually sold under the Datsun brand.
It all began in 1964 when it was made public during the Tokyo Motor Show, built from an existing Nissan Fairlady platform. The first Silvia ([=CSP311=]) or the "Datsun Coupé 1500" began production in 1965, which all are handcrafted and built in limited quantities (with a mere 554 produced), utilizing a 1.6 L Nissan R inline-4 engine producing 95 hp. It was considered to be one of the fastest Japanese cars at that time when it was provided to local Tokyo metropolitan police for a patrolling car.
It was PutOnABus in 1968 before the Silvia marked its return in 1975, with its new S10 chassis, built on its all-new S platform. Intended to be a compact RWD sports car, this would see a massive production boom for the model, and saw massive exports to North American markets as the Datsun [=200SX=]. Through out its short 4-year life span from 1975 to 1979, it has produced over 145,000 units. It was followed by the S110, noted for its sharp design and similarities to the Nissan Leopard. It would later on be rebadged as the Nissan Gazelle. The S12 produced from 1983 to 1989, with its usage of its retractable pop-up headlights and its resemblance to the Toyota [=AE86=] Corolla Levin/Sprinter Trueno.
By 1988, Nissan launches the S13 which became extremely popular and perhaps the one that [[TropeCodifier codified]] the Silvia name. Upon its introduction, the S13 follows a unique suite of trim levels named after PlayingCardMotifs; ''J's'' which is the naturally-aspirated base, the ''Q's'', which is the intermediary level, which offers turbochargers as an option, and ''K's'', which is the flagship turbocharger model. On the same year, a separate fastback model, the [=180SX=] was released, built on the same S13 chassis. Both the Silvia and the [=180SX=] were marketed as the [=240SX=] in North America and the [=200SX=] in Europe. This was almost the same methodology used for the S14 Silvia in 1993, which was offered a larger turbocharge, as well as being also available in "Aero" variants with more ground effects and large rear spoilers.
In 1999, just as the TurnOfTheMillennium starts, Japan saw a brand new version of the Silvia, now as the S15 with aggressive styling as par to modern car design trends. Unlike the previous two predecessors, the Silvia trims are just simplified to just '''Spec-S''' and '''Spec-R''', representing naturally-aspirated and turbocharged engines respectively. Both are also available in "Aero" variants, too. The S15 was only sold in Japan, but also had exports to Australia and New Zealand as the [=200SX=]. With strengthening emission laws and the spiking popularity of minivans hitting the sales of sports coupes, the Silvia ended production on August 2002.
The Silvia has been into various forms of motorsports ranging from the [=240RS=] that competed in Group B, to the super silhouette S12 that drew interest to many of the top tuners like HKS and Tomei. Other than that, Silvias have been widely used in drifting, especially the S13 through S15 models, due to its extreme versatility of the S-chassis. This began widely popular in Japan's premiere drifting championship, the D1 Grand Prix, where about 50% of the drivers use Silvias as their choice of cars.

[[AC:Anime and Manga]]
* Being a dedicated drift car, ''Manga/InitialD'' features Silvias driven by characters who have found solace with drifting, due to being part of the car's gimmick.
** TheLeader of the Akina [=SpeedStars=], Koichiro Iketani drives a Lime Green Two-tone S13 Silvia K's, which the car itself looks near-stock other than the exhaust and 4-spoke SSR wheels. [[spoiler:During ''First Stage'', his car was badly damaged during a practice run while avoiding an oncoming car, but lost control and crashed onto a guardrail.]]
** Iketani's NumberTwo, Kenji on the other hand drives a white [=180SX=] which [[TheUnfought never saw any battles]].
** And speaking of the 180, meet [[AmazonBrigade Mako Sato and Sayuri]], the two ladies of Impact Blue. Their signature car is none other than the blue [=SilEighty=], a [=180SX=] with an S13 front end. Mako drives the car while Sayuki acts as her navigator and co-pilot. Not only the duo got ADayInTheLimelight in ''Extra Stage'', but even the car itself also counts.
** An orange zenki S14 Silvia Q's ([[AdaptationalDyeJob red in]] ''[[VideoGame/InitialDArcadeStage Arcade Stage]]'') is driven by Kenta Nakamura, a member of Akagi [=RedSuns=] and the team's rain specialist.
** Then you have ThoseTwoGuys... from Tokyo. Both own and drive a Sparkling Silver S15 Silvia that looks purely stock on the outside.
** Team Spiral's Hiroya Okuyama drives a Brilliant Blue S15 with a GP Sports kit. Despite its fully modded looks, [[spoiler:He gets utterly [[CurbStompBattle curbstomped]] by Takumi Fujiwara, falling behind during his downhill race at Nanamagari.]]
* A red Nissan 180SX was the car driven by the main character of a web manga ''Dricam!!'', Rin Todoroki. Since the manga was all about drifting, expect a numerous amount of Silvias to make an appearance.
* ''Manga/WanganMidnight'' has an S15 Silvia tuned by RGO tested by Eiji Kamiya in the "Hanshin Expressway" arc. The same Silvia would later be driven by Yamanaka (one of the mechanics working in RGO) and Rikako Ota in ''[=WMMT1=]'' and ''[=WMMT2=]'', respectively.
[[AC:Film -- Animation]]
* ''Franchise/{{Cars}}'' features a Silvia {{Expy}}, usually under the Kyoku brand:
** Boost, one of the the [[Main/{{Delinquents}} Delinquent Road Hazards]], is cladded in a Kyoko Jitsu body, which is based on a 1999 Nissan Silvia S15.
** The episode "Tokyo Mater" during ''[[WesternAnimation/PixarShorts Mater's Tall Tales]]'' has Mater surrounded by Kabuto's Ninja henchcars, all are based of [=200/240SXs=]. And they know "CarFu" (pun unintended, if you know what we mean).
[[AC:Film -- Live Action]]
* Silvias are amongst the popular [=JDMs=] during the tuner era of ''Franchise/TheFastAndTheFurious'':
** The most recognizable of all its sisters would be the "Mona Lisa" C-WEST Silvia S15 Spec-S of ''Film/TheFastAndTheFuriousTokyoDrift'', built by Han Seoul-Oh and driven by Sean Boswell, notable for its blue paint and orange wraparound stripe. It was used for drifting around the parking lot. And then the car gets badly damages when he crashes into the pillars.
** A red watered down version of the S14 Silvia, the [=240SX=] fitted with a VIS body kit belonged to Letty Ortiz in the [[Film/TheFastAndTheFurious2001 first film]], used to partake in race wars.
* Maggie Peyton of ''Film/HerbieFullyLoaded'' originally chose a [=240SX=] as a graduation present. Until Herbie wriggled free of a crane and lands down atop of the car, crushing it.
* Jason Mewes, who stars AsHimself of ''Film/MadnessInTheMethod'' brings a JDM around UsefulNotes/LosAngeles. And that is a brilliant blue S15, completely decked with a Vertex Ridge body kit.
[[AC:Live-Action TV]]
* A black Nissan S14 [=200SX=] is the main car of Curtis and Keel of ''[[Series/TheProfessionals [=CI5=]: The New Professionals]]''. Interestingly, this was HilariousInHindsight as there was an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rwcb_D2Xm-w ad]] made years earlier before the show, showing signs of ProductPlacement with Nissan.
* A highly-modified zenki S14 Silvia, painted in red is the CoolCar of Scott Truman of ''Series/PowerRangersRPM'', which is his pride and joy. Bonus points that he is the red ranger, so... ColorCodedForYourConvenience!
* Section Chief Kenzo Kogure of ''Series/SeibuKeisatsu'' has a Nissan Gazelle convertible as his personal car, like his actor, Creator/YujiroIshihara did in RealLife.
[[AC:Music]]
* When Music/{{Eminem}} bailed out of his motorcycle during the music video "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeCihv9A3ac Phenomenal]]", he outright landed (accidentally) on the driver seat of the unnamed driver's (Creator/RandallPark) Rocket Bunny [=240SX=]. When both switched seats, Eminem DrivesLikeCrazy here as he drifts the car all around while outrunning his {{Mooks}} in G-Wagons. Randall would eventually took a [[SelfieFiend selfie]] with Em in this car...
-->'''Eminem:''' Really? Are you taking a fucking selfie?\\
'''Randall:''' Uh, yeah, could you look at the camera?\\
'''Eminem:''' [[GetOut OUT!]]
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrAchTdepsU Mood]]" by Music/TwentyFourKGoldn shows him sitting with his girlfriend with his [[PimpedOutCar pimped-out]] [=240SX=]. And said girlfriend angrily threatened to [[BatterUp batter up]] his car when she found out he's texting someone.
[[AC:Video Games]]
* Silvias are Nissan's typical B-class cars of ''VideoGame/BattleGear''. By ''3'', there is a tuned [=180SX=] (which is a [=SilEighty=]) where upon looking at the interior, you can clearly see a driver and a passenger occupying both seats, a-la [[Manga/InitialD Mako & Sayuki]].
* About 50% of the Professional drivers of ''D1 Professional Drift Grand Prix Series'' dig S15 Silvias as their preferred car of choice.
* While there are so many Silvias to list down, this perhaps became extremely notorious. The S15 Silvia Spec-R that appeared in every ''VideoGame/{{Forza}}'' game to date, which gained infamy from the community for the car being totally OffModel. From its droopy rear quarter, to its pinched nose, to lacking fog lamps and side skirts. So much for being ''ahem''... "[[BlatantLies built from the ground up]]".
** Other than that, there are also plenty of Formula D [=S14s=] too. Many of them having an S15 front end.
* ''Way'' too many examples to count in ''VideoGame/GranTurismo'', since there are loads and loads of Silvias and its regional derivatives plus its various trims, as well as your grandma's obscure S12. There is so many to list down, that the series even had spawned a dedicated "Silvia Sisters" one-make race.
* ''[[VideoGame/SanFranciscoRush L.A. Rush]]'' has that blue [=240SX=] (S14) as the car you start off with. That car belonged to Trikz Lane, TheProtagonist of the game who stated it all began with this car which gave his a renowned reputation. And following the repossession of his mansion, the S14 is what's left of him.
* Silvias have been a popular tuner in ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeed'', typically as a [[StarterMon starter car]].
** While it was introduced in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUnderground Underground]]'', the [=240SX=] returned in the ''Collector's Edition'' ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedCarbon Carbon]]'' as probably a Tier 1 powerhouse due to being the JackOfAllStats performance-wise.
** The [=240SX=] the signature car of Ryan Cooper from ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedProStreet [=ProStreet=]]]'', despite its [[WhatAPieceOfJunk unassuming appearance]]. After you finish D-Day, you get to keep the car and is highly your starter car. It returned again in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUndercover Undercover]]'' and again.... it's your starter car.
** ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedShift Shift]]'' has many notables examples, where the Drift Alliance [=240SX=] is given to you for drift events.
** By the time of the [[VideoGame/NeedForSpeed2015 2015 reboot]], it switches from 240 to 180 which your mate, Amy drives this car. Lots of aftermarket body kits can be applied, ranging from Rocket Bunny kits to ones made by Origin Labs.
** The Silvia S15, by surprise is driven by ''[=ProStreet's=]'' drift king, Aki Kimura in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedPayback Payback]]''.
** Finally, the S14 K's Aero of ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUnbound Unbound]]'' which is one of the three starter cars. Deck out a Legendary Customs body kit and it looks like it's some hillclimbing time attack car with its [[RiceBurner comically large spoiler]] and its roof completely torn off.
* Makoto Sawaki of ''VideoGame/RacingLagoon'' is perhaps notable of his iconic Sil-14. As the name implies, it's indeed an S14 Silvia. [[spoiler:It was the car that took his life during the Yokohama GP qualifying round.]]
* The Spec-R Aero S15 is the car you'd probably start off ''Real Racing 3''.
* There's too much to list on in ''VideoGame/TokyoXtremeRacer'', but the one the stands out the most and is fully recognizable amongst the Silvia drivers is none other than the Death Driver, the most fearsome of the expressway. And his iconic black and red S15 perhaps something none shall be trifled with. The Gloomy Angel on the other hand is just a PaletteSwap, with its car painted white.
* While Rikako Ohta DoesNotDrive in the manga/anime, ''VideoGame/WanganMidnightMaximumTune'' on the other hand has her being a capable driver on the highway. And her choice of car is a [[PinkMeansFeminine pink]] Nissan Silvia S15.
** And there's the long-awaited S13, available exclusively to Japanese players in ''[=5DX+=]'' but also as a December Navi scratch-off for overseas players of ''[=6RR=]''. Unfortunately, the S13 can't be modified, despite the fact there had long been biblical amounts of body kits for said car.

->''"Its simple and powerful design is something of a rarity among Japanese cars. It's undeniable that the Nissan designers wanted to express the story of the Skyline GT-R through this car. And that is truly an act of love."''
-->--'''Hikonori Kagurazaka''', explaining the R34 Skyline in GT Cafe, ''VideoGame/GranTurismo 7''
The Skyline GT-R is the top-of-the-line performance sports car based on the Nissan Skyline range of compact luxury sedans.
The first GT-R was produced in 1969 as the [=KPGC10=] chassis or as it's more commonly known, the "Hakosuka".[[note]]"Hako" being Japanese for "box", in reference to its squared appearence, and "suka" coming from the pronounciation of "Skyline" in Japanese, '''''Suka'''irain''.[[/note]] It found lasting success in motorsports with 49 consecutive wins in its belt. In 1973, the next generation GT-R was produced and highly regarded as the "Kenmeri" Skyline due to it renowned advertising, featuring a young couple named Ken and Mary, despite its short-lived production due to emission regulations.
The GT-R name was revived [[TheBusCameBack following a 16-year hiatus]], now as the twin-turbocharged [=4WD=] [=BNR32=] (or R32 for short). The [=R32=] Skyline participated in various motorsport events, mainly in touring car championships in Japan and Australia, which saw dominance in both series, winning consecutive championship titles, to the point that Australian motor publication ''Wheels'' nicknamed the GT-R "Godzilla" for its technology and performance in its July 1989 issue.
The Skyline GT-R became the flagship of Nissan performance, showcasing many advanced technologies. Production ended in 2002 and was succeeded by the Nissan GT-R ([=R35=]) in 2007, which is [[DecompositeCharacter a separate grand tourer]] [[ContinuityReboot unrelated to the Skyline range]]. Today, the car is popular for import drag racing, circuit track, time attack and events hosted by tuning magazines.
Despite the Skyline GT-R never being manufactured outside Japan, [[note]] the sole export markets were Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand, in 1991, and the UK in 1997, due to the Single Vehicle Approval scheme[[/note]] it has become an iconic sports car as a used Japanese import vehicle in the Western world [[note]]mainly the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Ireland, Canada, and the United States[[/note]], prompting Nismo's announcement in 2019 that it would resume production of spare parts and components for all generations of the Skyline GT-R.
The car was named at the time by ''Series/TopGearUK'' as "the only true Japanese contribution in the line of supercars," and by Creator/JeremyClarkson as one of the best cars in the world.

* ''Manga/InitialD'' has very well-known examples where the Skyline GT-R plays its part:
** A black pearl metallic R32 GT-R is perhaps a popular example. It's driven by Myogi [=NightKids=] leader, Takeshi Nakazato. Because of its AWD layout, the car would rather grip more than drift, which may not be as flashy as it seems. [[spoiler:In his battle against Takumi, his R32 suffered understeer and wear, causing the car to lose control and hits a guardrail, damaging it.]]
** Kozo "[[RedBaron God Foot]]" Hoshino of Purple Shadow drive a Millennium Jade Nür-spec GT-R R34. In his own history, he was an owner of previous generation [=GT-Rs=] to the point non of them fits his taste, prior to his R34 Nür purchase.
** Rin Hojo in ''Fifth Stage'' drives a gun gray R32.

** Speaking of the "Perfect GT-R", Green Auto shop mechanic Koichi Hiramoto attempted to immortalize his own R32. [[spoiler:In the long run against the Devil Z and Blackbird, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere he back off and withdraws from the race]]. He later sold his R32 and gives up racing so he can return to his wife Megumi and their newborn child.]]

** Yuji Kishida, Yamamoto's half-brother who works at YM Speed also drives an R33. In ''Maximum Tune 6'', he decided to tryout a sports roadster, the Honda S2000.
[[AC:Film -- Live Action]]
* Perhaps one of the best examples would be the iconic silver and blue-striped R34 GT-R of ''Film/TwoFastTwoFurious'', as seen in the hands of Brian O'Connor. This would be his go-to car used to battle against Suki, Slap Jack and Orange Jack. Brian would continue to use the R34 in ''Film/FastAndFurious'' before ditching it for an [=R35=] in future films.
** Earlier on, Leon, one of the members of Dominic Toretto's crew drives a yellow R33 in [[Film/TheFastAndTheFurious2001 the first film]], used to partake in street racing.
** After breaking Dominic Toretto was broken free from the prison bus at the beginning of ''Film/FastFive'', Brian O'Connor obtains a black 1971 Nissan Skyline GT-R and drives himself and his love interest Mia to Rio de Janeiro. How on earth did this extremely rare car find its way to Brazil anyway? ''Who cares!''
* This AceCustom Citadel armada vehicle called the "Caltrop #2" in ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'' uses the R32 Skyline GT-R as the basis.
* Nightbird, the sole female member of the Terrorcons in ''Film/TransformersRiseOfTheBeasts'' has her altmode; a Nissan Skyline GT-R R33 with a grey-faded brown two-tone paint scheme, pink custom wheels, a rear wing, and louvres.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Blur}}'', the twins Harumi and Ayumi both drive Skyline GT-R Nismos. Beat them in a one-on-one-- or... ''one-on-two'' race, and you get not one, but ''two'' of the [=GT-Rs=], both fitted with "Scatter Shot" allowing you to throw all 3 bolts in a single press of a button.
* The Nakamura Ikusa GT in ''VideoGame/BurnoutParadise'' strikes a resemblance to the R34 GT-R.
* Then you have the Incubator V12 of ''VideoGame/{{Crashday}}'', based on the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34. Note that Skyline [=GT-Rs=] use ''inline-6'' engines, not [=V12s=].
* The Nissan Skyline ([=BCNR33=]) GT-R appeared in ''VideoGame/DriverSanFrancisco'', [[ArtisticLicenseCars depicted as left-hand drive for some reason, something Japan never produced in real life]]. The team race mission has one of the key charcater Tanner!Jules drive this.
* Extremely common in ''VideoGame/{{Forza}}'', whether in vanilla stock, racing or pre-tuned flavors.
* ''VideoGame/GranTurismo'': You will see crap tons of [[PaletteSwap trim levels]] of the Nissan Skyline GT-R to the point it has the "Race of Red Emblem" one-make race. Some of the huge long list of examples are the V-spec, V-spec II, V-spec II Nür, M-spec, all the Nismo variants, JGTC variants, the [[MemeticMutation memetic]] pace car, ''[[Main/LongList and the list goes on, and on, and on...]]''
* The Annis Elegy Retro Custom in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoOnline'' is a mishmash blend of multiple generations of the Nissan Skyline GT-R.
* ''VideoGame/{{GRID}}'' gives you the Nismo R34 Z-tune as one of the Pro Tuner cars. Its subsequent games later add 2 [=R32s=]: a Group A variant and the time attack Auto Gallery machine. In ''VideoGame/GridLegends'', a RiceBurner Time Attack R34 is also added in the tuner list.
* ''VideoGame/LeMans24'' has the Nismo GT-R LM as one of the beginner cars, [[NintendoHard which will give you a slim chance of getting in the Top 5]].
* ''VideoGame/MidnightClub'' features the GT-R as a venerable JDM import for street racers to begin with:
** Makoto, the penultimate boss of ''II'' drives the Torque JX, a Skyline R34 {{Expy}} with a Veilside Street drag kit.
** In ''3'', it's a Class C Tuner that can battle maxed-out Class B cars or even some Class A cars. Oscar would say, that it is "one of the most beautiful import tuners you can get." In ''3 Remix'', the R34 serves as Tokyo's police car. ...and you can actually drive it.
** Speaking of import tuners, ''Los Angeles'' has the R34 available too. It's too [[ImprobablyCoolCar improbable]] to have a Skyline in America at the first place, that the local police will call you out for this!
--->This thing is too fast there is no way it is street legal!
* ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeed'' is happy to add the Godzilla in their long-running franchise:
** ''VideoGame/TheNeedForSpeed'' Japan-exclusive ''Over Drivin' GT-R'' and ''Over Drivin' Skyline Memorial'' is your complete textbook example where [[EverybodyOwnsAFord Everybody Owns a Nissan]]. ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, Skyline [=GT-Rs=] are included.
** ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedHighStakes High Stakes]]'' made the Skyline GT-R R34 a Japan-exclusive car.
** One of the most famous ''Need for Speed'' cars is Eddie's orange custom Eastsiders R34 in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUnderground Underground]]''. It's so nifty, it served as the game's cover front and center and it would make a comeback in future ''NFS'' games. The vanilla R34 itself would return in subsequent games, starting with ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedCarbon Carbon]]''.
** The cover car in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedPayback Payback]]'' is a red R34 with a Sun Line Racing body kit, driven by Tyler Morgan during the game's prologue.
** The [=R32=] of the Speedhunters Showdown organizer, Dex in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedHeat Heat]]'' is a clear ShoutOut to the Bathurst-winning Group A [=R32=] race car.
* The Drifter GT in ''VideoGame/{{Sleeping Dogs|2012}}'' is based on the R34 variant of the Skyline GT-R, with some influences from the Toyota Chaser.
* ''VideoGame/RacingLagoon'' features the almighty Godzilla used to dominate the streets of Yokohama:
** The Shiina sisters Kyoka and Haruka drive matching black [=32TypeRs=], which would be the R32 Skyline GT-R to be exact.
** ...but what stood out amongst the Godzillas is the {{Pimped Out|Car}} Monster-R, a completely modified Nissan R33 Skyline GT-R.
* ''Street Racing Syndicate'' has an absurd amount of R34 trims, like in ''Gran Turismo''. But what makes it distinctive is [[https://igcd.net/vehicle.php?id=221314 Ken's yellow C-West [=R34=]]], being the iconic car of the game.
* ''VideoGame/TestDrive 5'' has the R33 Skyline, while the R34 would take over in ''6'', ''Overdrive'' (also serving as the cop car in Tokyo) and ''[[VideoGame/TestDriveUnlimited Unlimited]]'' ([[ArtisticLicenseCars which oddly uses a left-hand drive for some reason]]).
* ''VideoGame/TokyoXtremeRacer'':
** Free Way is a team composed entirely of GT-R drivers who believe they're driving no mere car, but the embodiment of Japan itself given car form. As such, they're extremely prideful of their cars, and will not take insults towards them lying down.
** The most famous GT-R in the series is undoubtebly Jintei's azure R34, one of the three fastest cars in the Metropolitan Expressway's history. In spite of using it in only three of the six games he appears in, it remains the car he's most commonly associated with.
* ''VideoGame/WanganMidnightMaximumTune'' features ''all'' the five generations of the Skyline GT-R. The R32 is [[ComplacentGamingSyndrome extremely used ubiquitously by many players]], while the R34 is considered to be a HighTierScrappy, to the point it's being called the "[[FanNickname No Skill GT-R]]".

The Nissan Z-series is a model series of sports cars manufactured by Nissan in seven generations since 1969.
The original Z was first sold on October 1969 in Japan as the Nissan Fairlady Z (Japanese: 日産・フェアレディZ, ''Nissan Fearedi Zetto'') as a replacement for the Nissan Bluebird, and initially marketed as the Datsun 240Z for international customers. Known for their looks, reliability, performance and affordability, since then Nissan has manufactured seven generations of Z-cars: Nissan Fairlady Z (S30), Nissan Fairlady Z (S130), Nissan 300ZX, Nissan 350Z, Nissan 370Z, with the most recent--simply known as the Nissan Z--in production since 2022.

[[AC:Anime and Manga]]
* Ryuji Ikeda of ''Manga/InitialD'', TheLeader of Team Spiral and the specialist of the "Zero Theory" technique is the BadassDriver behind the Burning Red Fairlady Z (Z33), fitted with Ings components. [[spoiler:During a deathmatch race between Ryosuke's newly modified RX-7 and Rin Hojo's R32, Ryuji uses his car to help slow Rin's car after a brake failure.]]
* ''Manga/WanganMidnight'' becomes a legend that creates new legends where the Nissan Fairlady plays a huge role of the Wangan story...
** Perhaps every tuner enthusiast and racing game fan would fully recognise this legendary HerosClassicCar, And that is the famous, but supernaturally deadly midnight blue S30, the '''Devil Z'''. The owner of this CoolCar is none other than TheProtagonist, Akio Asakura. [[spoiler:Previous owners of this car died in numerous car accidents, making this one deadly FragileSpeedster. Even Eriko's late brother also named]] ''[[spoiler:Akio Asakura]]'' [[spoiler:was one of the victims of this tragedy.]]
--->'''Akio:''' You can refuse as much as you want, but I am like you Devil Z!
*** In the earlier chapters, Akio once owned a red Z31 Z and briefly challenged Tatsuya Shima's Blackbird (a black Porsche 964 Turbo. He sold it before he got his hands to this CoolCar.
** And speaking of [=Z31=]... Harada, Hiramoto's friend owns this car. [[spoiler:While chasing down Reina in her R32, his engine was blown out from {{Overheating}}, prompting Harada to ride along with Hiramoto in his R32]].
** Makoto Morishita, a fashion model and close friend of Reina Akikawa drives a yellow Z32 [=300ZX=] after she sold her Impreza. This becomes the central car for "The Legendary F1 Turbine", as this car is tuned by Yamashita.
* ''Shakotan Boogie'', being a predecessor of ''Wangan Midnight'':
** One of the deuteragonists, Akira Shimizu, owns a PimpedOutCar on his S30, with a G-Nose kit and "Yanky Mate!" decals.
** One of the minor characters, Johnny, drives a Z31.
[[AC:Film -- Animation]]
* There are dozens of Datsun [=Zs=] in the background when Mater and Lightning [=McQueen=] are visiting Tokyo in ''WesternAnimation/Cars2''. But there is one notable Fairlady; that is Mach Matsuo, a seasoned international racer, who serves as Shu Todoroki's coach.
[[AC:Film -- Live Action]]
* Fairladies are one of the hot import tuners of the ''Franchise/TheFastAndTheFurious'' films.
** Takashi, the [[RedBaron Drift King]] and the BigBad of ''Film/TheFastAndTheFuriousTokyoDrift'' is the driver behind this iconic Black Veilside 350Z with Ghostlight scarab graphics. His [[TheDragon close friend]] Morimoto also drives a 350Z, except its gold and black, and fitted with a Top Secret kit. [[spoiler:Both [=Zs=] were wrecked in the process. Takashi drives off Suicide Mountain after trying to defend his lead by slam Sean Boswell's Mustang, and Morimoto was killed from a head-on collision with a traffic car earlier.]]
** A yellow Datsun 240Z with a [[PimpedOutCar Pandem body kit]] is the car of Isabel Neves in ''Film/FastX''. [[spoiler:The car was destroyed during a race war by [[BigBad Dante Reyes]] since that car was [[ExternalCombustion rigged with explosives]]. Luckily, she survived thanks to Dom's intervention.]]
[[AC:Live-Action TV]]
* Toha Yamaji/'''Jiraiya''''s main vehicle, the Black Saber, is a black Z31 300ZX in ''Series/SekaiNinjaSenJiraiya''.
* The Joker, K's souped-up patrol car in Series/RobotDetective is built around a Nissan Fairlady Z (S30). Also a FlyingCar that is still cool enough to be more than just a CoolCar.
* A 1985 Nissan 300ZX [[DescriptionPorn Z31 3-litre V6 Turbo]] in ''Series/WellingtonParanormal'' is perhaps a CoolCar with HauntedTechnology.
[[AC:Music]]
* The ''Herbie: Fully Loaded'' song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ot0UDplL0fo First]]" by Creator/LindsayLohan sure gave that music video that CarPorn love. Besides the titular sentient Beetle himself, the car that also takes the cake is a silver [=350Z=] having a 'lil drag race with the other drivers.
[[AC:Video Games]]
* While the 370Z exists since ''VideoGame/{{Asphalt}} 5'', in ''8: Airborne'', you get this 370Z Special Edition, a fully PimpedOutCar with a water-themed livery inspired by the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Wave_off_Kanagawa The Great Wave off Kanagawa]].
* This is the car detective Raymond Broady drives in ''VideoGame/ChaseHQ'' sequel ''S.C.I.: Special Criminal Investigation''. It's a red roofless [=300ZX=] T-Top Turbo, allowing Tony Gibson at the passenger side to shoot his firearm.
* In ''VideoGame/TheCrewMotorfest'', there is a Motorfest headquarters in Fresno, [[spoiler:and it is where the player obtains a special modified Nissan [=300ZX=] from the end of one of the stories.]]
* ''Colin [=McRae=]: VideoGame/{{DIRT}} 2'' uniquely features the Nissan 350Z to the lineup for Rally, Rallycross & Trailblazer. Quite uncommon to see a modern Fairlady dishing out gravel in rallies like this. It became prominent as it is the car of Mohammed ben Sulayem for the three mentioned disciplnes, as he has is own unique livery to that.
** In ''DIRT Rally 2.0'', the Datsun 240Z made waves in the lineup as a beginner friendly historic RWD rally car.
* No matter what generation the Z is, ''VideoGame/{{Forza}}'' and ''VideoGame/GranTurismo'' would commonly have many of them. For distinction, the FM-tuned 350Z is depicted in the box art for ''Forza Motorsport 2'', whereas the latter have the Fairlady Z Concept in ''3'', and a Gran Turismo 4 Limited Edition 350Z in... uh... ''[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Gran Turismo 4]]'', as well as the many many trims, plus the tuned and racing variants, primarily, the [=GT500=] race car from Super GT.
** As part of a collaboration with Donut Media, ''Forza Horizon 5'' has "Hi-Low" 350Zs, which the player can use freely after completing their associated Horizon Story.
* ''VideoGame/{{GRID}}'' has this Top Secret 350Z as a Pro-Tuned class race car. In later sequels, it jumps through disciplines, such as ''Autosport'' as a Drift car and in ''2019'' as a Gr.2 race car, similar to the other Group [=GT4=] race cars.
** In ''GRID 2'', it adds Chris Forsberg's Formula D-spec V8-powered [[ProductPlacement NOS Energy]] 370Z, with a Nismo body kit as a drift car.
* The De'Leo 58 is seen driven by Racket Informants and several {{Mooks}} in various missions of ''VideoGame/MafiaIII''. It's based on the Datsun 240Z and is considered to be the very few Japanese-based cars in the game. One of Jonathan Maguire's images on him shows Danny Burke next to that yellow CoolCar.
* The Tokyo Cop in ''VideoGame/MidnightClub II'' is heavily based on the 1989 Nissan Fairlady Z. TruthInTelevision, said Z was widely used by Japanese police at that time.
* ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeed'' has somehow made an on-and-off tradition of pairing Nissan's Z-series cars with the ladies:
** ''[[VideoGame/TheNeedForSpeed Over Drivin' Skyline Memorial]]'', in which [[EverybodyOwnsAFord Everybody Owns a Nissan]] is officially the first game to utilize the legendary Z, where you get the [=240ZG=] and the [=300ZX=]. [[NoExportForYou But since the game was only sold in Japan...]]
** Fans would easily remember the Z for the ''first time'' in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUnderground Underground]]'', which featured the 2003 Nissan 350Z. [[spoiler:A mysterious silver 350Z is revealed to be driven by Melissa, the game's PostFinalBoss after beating Eddie.]] But what stood out by many fans growing up is the custom metallic green [=350Z=] with a purple dragon vinyl in the sequel, driven by Rachel Teller.
** The 350Z would be Neville's Tier 3 tuner car in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedCarbon Carbon]]'' after Nissan was previously absent in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedMostWanted Most Wanted]]''. In its portable version ''Own the City'', the facelifted 2006 variant of the 350Z is driven by Daemon of the Corps. [[spoiler:Sara also drives one during her PostFinalBoss race after her Toyota [=MR2=] got blown up by EX.]]
** The opening sequence of ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUndercover Undercover]]'' allows you to try ATasteOfPower of the new Nissan 370Z ([=Z34=]), before you are given a Nissan [=240SX=] ([=S13=]) as your StarterMon.
** The [=370Z=] would be Zarinah's signature car, seen in her opening in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedNitro Nitro]]'', used as her car for the Silver Cup.
** The {{Fanservice}} duo, Nikki and Mila in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedTheRun The Run]]'' both drive identical [=370Zs=] for the EpicRace. [[spoiler:Nikki later reappears once more in Stage 9 as the last lady standing against Jack. Guess Mila didn't make the cut.]]
** Travis, as the anonymous Outlaw drive classic Fairlady [=240ZG=]. When ''not'' an Outlaw however has him in a classic Skyline [=2000GT-R=].
** While the 350Z returned in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedPayback Payback]]'', [[SpicyLatina La Catarina]], TheLeader of Graveyard Shift, also drives this Day of the Dead-themed junk. The [=240ZG=] itself is one of the 5 derelict cars, and you can modify this Japanese classic JDM in various builds.
** Speaking of ''Payback'', Ana Rivera in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedHeat Heat]]'' drives a light blue 350Z with a bodykit last used in ''Shift''. [[spoiler:Too bad she had to say goodbye to her beloved Z as [[FelonyMisdemeanor Officer Danny Shaw impounds it for]] ''[[DisproportionateRetribution utterly no reason]]''.]]
** Two known rivals in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUnbound Unbound]]'' in their [=Zs=]: Waru's [[PimpedOutCar pimped out]] [=240ZG=], and Justicia's 350Z who for some reason [[RecurringExtra appears in every race]]. Also in the prologue, you get to tryout an [=RZ34=] Z Prototype as part of a "car delivery" for Alec.
* A black Datsun [=240Z=] is Lo Wang's personal CoolCar, as seen before his first mission at the beginning of ''VideoGame/ShadowWarrior2013''. ...with some [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=logBCB1YJk8 Transformers music]] to boot!
-->'''Lo Wang:''' God damn right! ''(singing)'' '''YOU GOT THE POWER!''' WHEN ALL HELL'S BREAKIN' LOOSE, YOU'LL BE RIDING THE EYE OF THE STORM.
* The 600 Coupe S in ''VideoGame/{{Sleeping Dogs|2012}}'' is quite clearly based on the Datsun [=240Z=].
* ''VideoGame/TokyoXtremeRacer'':
** Extremely common through-out every single game of the series, from standard opponents to bosses. The most notable owner of one is, of course, [[MyNameIsQuestionMark UNKNOWN]], whose dark blue S30 is shrouded in legend.
** Midnight Wolf switches out his usual Skyline [=GT-R=] for a Z32 in a ''Series/KnightRider''-inspired body kit in ''Street Supremacy''.
* While Tatsuya's Blackbird is clearly a 911, the international release of ''VideoGame/WanganMidnightMaximumTune'' has his Blackbird changed into a [=Z33=] instead, equipped with Aero Set C (Nismo S-Tune GT) body kit, in an attempt to disguise it as a Porsche. Starting in ''4'', it now uses the proper 911, albeit the RUF Yellowbird.
** And with the Fairlady Z alone, has added ever single generation to date.
[[AC:Western Animation]]
* Manta in ''WesternAnimation/{{MASK}}'' is a Nissan [=300ZX=] used by VENOM agent Vanessa Warfield, which turns into a jet.
* The Filipino Creator/{{Netflix}} series ''WesternAnimation/{{Trese}}'' in one episode has the titular hero tear down the streets of Manila against a tikbalang in what appears to be driving a modified classic blue Datsun Z.

[[caption-width-right:350:An even almightier Godzilla.]]
->''"None, regardless of talent, could dispute the GT-R's ability to leave mouths agape and spines tingling. Its mind-blowing faculties seemingly blur the line between surreality and reality-what a fantastical "Anyone, anytime, anywhere" supercar should do."''
-->--'''[=MotorTrend=]'''
The Nissan GT-R (R35) is a car made by Nissan to succeed the Nissan Skyline GT-R, the high-performance version of the Nissan Skyline, in 2007. Being a ContinuityReboot of the GT-R nameplate, it serves as Nissan's premier 2+2 sports coupe.
It dates all the way back to the TurnOfTheMillennium when Nissan intended to build the world's finest supercar that would beat its competitors. The GT-R was originally part of its revival plan during the twilight of the R34 Skyline GT-R (as the succeeding V-series Skyline generations [[RevisitingTheRoots revisited their luxury sedan roots from the Prince Skyline days]], [[DecompositeCharacter thus separating the GT-R nameplate by intentions]]). Its very first SuperPrototype, the GT-R concept was unveiled during the Tokyo Motor Show in 2001. Nissan would confirm production, intends to worldwide markets in limited quantities. Nissan would eventually build a revised version in 2005, now called the GT-R Proto, also unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show. Officials say 80% to 90% of the body would base its production on that prototype, which in fact, actually happened.
After seven yeats of development, the GT-R was finally unveiled in 2007, built using the PM platform. A supercar combining high-performance with high-practicality of a grand tourer, new features include advanced aerodynamics, a new 473 hp 3.8 L twin-turbocharged [=VR38DETT=] V6 engine that sets the fastest accelerating car of 2009, an active suspension, a drivetrain with a rear mounted independent transaxle and its multifunctional-display designed by Creator/PolyphonyDigital, the creators of ''VideoGame/GranTurismo''. Its body uses a mix of steel, aluminium and carbon fibre. It's one of the first to ever feature launch-control and dual-clutch transmission.
It was Nissan's first ever supercar[[note]]Unless you count the R390 [=GT1=] road car[[/note]] and their first grand tourer since 1992 Nissan Leopard, and designed to beat other supercars in par of price and performance such as the Porsche 911, Chevrolet Corvette and the Dodge Viper. Despite being sold in limited quantities, the GT-R was offered in numerous variants and facelifts thoughout its current production timeline, ranging from the special edition [=SpecV=] in 2019, to the high-performing factory-tuned GT-R NISMO introduced in 2015, to even the limited bespoke GT-R50 by Italdesign in 2019.
Other than being the Japanese supercar, it would see action in motorsports, as seen in the [=GT3=] racing series in which ''Gran Turismo'' key people Kazunori Yamauchi and Jann Maddenborough competed with the car. It also competed in the short-lived FIA [=GT1=] World Championship where the GT-R won the drivers championship in 2011. But mostly, the GT-R plays a key role in the Japanese premier racing series, Super GT, which saw numerous Driver and Team championship titles throughout its lifespan.
The GT-R was highly praised amongst enthusiasts and critics alike, to the point ''Series/{{Top Gear|UK}} calls it "one of the most incredible cars of any kind ever built".

* The blue GT-R Pure Edition is the car Shunsuke Hayami operates in ''VideoGame/ChousokuHenkeiGyrozetter''. Combine this with the other Godzillas and you have yourself a '''GT-RRR''' Gyrozetter.
* Other than his beloved Fiat 500, Kazunobu Chiba of ''Manga/DetectiveConan'' runs this domestic supercar; a [=MY17=] Godzilla.
* One of the drivers who'd bring a domestic supercar in ''Manga/MFGhost'' would be Shun Aiba, Kanata's friend and mentor. His chosen car for the race would be his white Nissan GT-R NISMO. [[spoiler:And while the car is actually fast in the straights thanks to its acceleration, he miscalculated his timing when he overshot his brakes to a runoff [[DownToTheLastPlay during a three wide sudden death between him against Kaito's 488 and Yuudai's R8]], conceding his third place and [[FromBadToWorse dropping down to 6th, since he's also overtaken by Yosuke's AMG GT]].]]

* While Zach Sobiech has months left to live, one moment of ''Film/{{Clouds}}'' him take a Nissan GT-R for a drive and impress his fellow student Amy Adamle and make out together, despite his mom's protests since his dad wants to feel happy [[spoiler:before his tragic passing.]]
* Brian O'Connor must be switching between Godzillas throughout ''Franchise/TheFastAndTheFurious''
** [[spoiler:The ending of ''Film/FastFive'' gets into an UnknownRematchConclusion where Dominic Toretto in a black 2009 SRT-8 challenge Brian in his GT-R to a race. The film cuts to the end credits as Dom accepts Brian's challenge, but you get to see the outcome in the very beginning of the [[Film/FastAndFurious6 next film]]]].
** ...and said next film? In ''Film/FastAndFurious6'' Brian can finally relax [[spoiler:after bringing [[BigBad Owen Shaw]] to justice]], he celebrates by buying himself a Blue GT-R, decked with a Bensopra body kit. It's parked at the Toretto House at the end.
** During the climax of ''Film/Furious7'', Brian would take command in his GT-R with Ramsey alongside him, while being hunted by Mose Jakande's UAV gunfire. Thanks to its hydraulic system, it can drive UnderTheTruck.
* Name any movie directed by Creator/NeillBlomkamp. You're certainly guaranteed to see the Nissan GT-R to be an all-show in every one of his movies as part of the AuthorAppeal, and hell, Blomkamp himself is a proud GT-R owner:
** Even ''Film/{{Chappie}}'' himself at one point would hilariously carjack a grey Nissan GT-R.
** It's over 140 years old (given the film was set in 2154) and yet, this battle-ready Nissan GT-R of ''Film/{{Elysium}}'' is futuristic relic, built as a venerable and roadworthy heist vehicle.
** The GT-R would be exaggerated as one of the featured cars of the ''Film/{{Gran Turismo|2023}}'' movie, since it has strong ties as the GT Academy car:
*** This would be the car Jann Maddenborough would use during Race Camp, which would have been source of historical inaccuracy and AnachronismStew, given that scene was set in 2011, because 1) He used a Nissan 370Z in RealLife, and 2) that GT-R is a 2017 post-facelifted model.
*** Following his success in Race Camp, Jann would jump into the almighty GT-R NISMO [=GT3=] race car to obtain his FIA racing license. [[spoiler:This gained infamy by its ''logical extreme'' during Jann's first VLN race where [[https://youtu.be/GBuElSi_t-U?feature=shared it highlights the infamous Nürburgring Nordschleife crash]] where the car would ultimately '''''kill a spectator'''''. All intensly PlayedForDrama. Brutal.]]
[[AC:Video Games]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Cruisn}} Blast'' once ran a Nissan GT-R NISMO in arcades before it was relegated into just your ordinary GT-R.
* Breaking the mold from just only European cars, has this {{DLC}}. One of the few Japanese cars ever added in ''VideoGame/{{Driveclub}}'' has this [=MY15=] Nissan GT-R and the [[PaletteSwap track-oriented GT-R NISMO]]. One of the best of the best in the Performance class and Super class respectively.
* You can have John Tanner rock a Godzilla supercar in ''VideoGame/DriverSanFrancisco''. Its second Race Takedown activity where the targets are all driving Nissans, one of them is a GT-R.
* [=GT-Rs=] are quite ubiquitous since its inception in ''VideoGame/ForzaMotorsport 3''. Its special editions would be highly decked with a Liberty Walk body kit.
** The initial drive of ''Motorsport 7'' put you in Ukyo Takagi's shoes, as you drive the 2015 GT-R [=GT500=] around one lap of the Nürburgring during a heavy rainfall.
** Other than that, the [=MY17=] GT-R would be known for its errors such as [[OffModel missing side mirrors and non-functional brake lights]]. Thankfully it was patched. Also, that GT-R would usually be the featured car in ''Horizon's'' Forzathon weekly challenges.
* It all dates back in ''VideoGame/GranTurismo Concept'' with its 7-speed GT-R Concept seen during the 2001 Tokyo Motor Show, but still is an ImprobablyCoolCar, nonetheless. Even it runs a Le Mans-spec GT-R Concept race car too, the Dream Car Championship reward. By ''Gran Turismo 5'', there's an [[PaletteSwap absurd amount of Godzillas to list down]], including the vanilla GT-R, GT-R Spec V, and even the 2012 Black Edition. Plus the 2005 Proto and the "Black Mask" version with its bumpers fully covered. Not to mention the Super GT [=GT500=] race cars and the GT Academy edition as well.
** Also, the GT-R would serve as the [[https://e.snmc.io/lk/f/x/16f754cf27ad108a3f159192ef66ad49/6678969 featured car]] of the ''Gran Turismo 5: Prologue'' cover.
** By ''Gran Turismo Sport'', there are still [=GT-Rs=] aplenty, serving as the basis for a Gr.4, Gr.3 (GT-R Nismo [=GT3=]), Gr.2 (the aforementioned Super GT cars) and even a Gr.B rally car. If you manage to get all gold in the DrivingTest, you're awarded the GT-R safety car. Yes. The one that looks like that '''''infamous Skyline GT-R pace car'''''.
** As a way to celebrate the release of the aforementioned 2023 film, ''Gran Turismo 7'' gives you Jann Maddenborough's 2018 GT-R Nismo [=GT3=] movie car for free.
* Who'd know a Nissan supercar would show up in ''VideoGame/InitialDArcadeStage'', where some of their courses (ie. Irohazaka) are in the same prefecture as the GT-R's manufacturing plant (in Tochigi Prefecture, no less!), unless it had to do with the collaboration event with ''MF Ghost'', especially the GT-R NISMO driven bt the aforementioned Shun Aiba.
* Just like the Skyline GT-R, this almighty Godzilla successor would be ''the'' Japanese supercar of ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeed'':
** It debuted in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedProStreet [=ProStreet=]]]''. Not only you get the vanilla GT-R but also its 2005 prototype, as seen in the game cover. Though you can't modify the GT-R Proto, [[CoversAlwaysLie despite the cover saying otherwise]].
** The GT-R would be the Tri-City Bay's Super State Cruiser during high-speed pursuits of ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUndercover Undercover]]''. The same car would be used as a Federal Cruiser for ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedTheRun The Run]]''.
** Both the vanilla GT-R and the GT-R [=SpecV=] appear in ''Shift'', for the former, a Works conversion makes it Super GT race car, while the latter makes it an [=FIA GT1=] car.
*** It's more prominent in the sequel. As you start the game, you get ATasteOfPower with the NFS Edition GT-R around Suzuka, and if you [[spoiler:manage to beat Jamie Campbell-Walter in the FIA [=GT1=] Championship, his GT-R [=GT1=], the game's cover car, is all yours.]]
** In ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedHotPursuit Hot Pursuit]]'', the GT-R [=SpecV=] would be prominently be used in the "Trail of Destruction" racer event.
** It shows up in the 2015 reboot, where the GT-R has body kits galore from Rocket Bunny, Varis, Liberty Walk, Pandem and Bensophia. One post-launch update adds the 2017 facelift.
** ...and said 2017 facelift would be seen in one of the House's pawns, driven by Diamond Block's [[BalkanBastard Mitko Vasilev]] from ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedPayback Payback]]''...
** ...and again in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUnbound Unbound]]'' where the GT-R also had a {{pimped out|Car}} version from Legendary Customs. Ukrainian racer Anechka runs a [[AnimalMotif zebra-patterned]] GT-R.
* And speaking of that GT-R Concept from ''Gran Turismo'', you also get to drive '''this''' ImprobablyCoolCar in ''VideoGame/ProjectGothamRacing 3''.
* It's a SecretCharacter in Creator/{{SEGA}}'s arcade RacingGame ''R-Tuned: Ultimate Street Racing'', [[spoiler:where a mysterious rival named Mr. R [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIBqKxP6qXg runs a purely bone-stock Nissan GT-R]] in a world full of {{pimped out|Car}} tuners. And it's [[NonPlayableCharacter unplayable]], too.]]
* The "hero" car featured on the cover of ''VideoGame/RidgeRacer 7'' is the Kamata [=RC410=], drawn mainly from its still-concept Nissan GT-R (R35). And said "hero" car even predated the FIA [=GT1/GT3=] spec GT-R in RealLife!
* The Takumi RX-T in ''VideoGame/RocketLeague'' would resemble the Nissan GT-R judging by its headlights. Just only if the game didn't give out the [[Manga/InitialD Fujiwara name]].
* Also, there is the Hanzo GT from ''VideoGame/SplitSecond'' that primarily takes cues to the Nissan GT-R, thanks to its headlight.
* Other than the Skyline GT-R R34, the R35 appears alongside the other Nissans of ''VideoGame/TestDriveUnlimited2''.
* The GT-R was first introduced in ''VideoGame/WanganMidnightMaximumTune [=3DX+=]'', alongside its Hakusoka cousin. While it is a CoolCar and arguably the first supercar at that time, the car can't be visually dressed-up, and would use an unusual tuning system. Rikako Ohta would be the one to do the horse work instead of Jun Kitami.
** There are also special edition Godzillas in later installments such as the [=MY17=] GT-R as a terminal scratch reward and the GT-R Nismo as July's Navi Scratch-off reward.
** And introduced in ''[=6RR=]'' would be this rare GT-R50 by Italdesign. Finally, this GT-R has aero kits.

%%[[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]]
->''"Nissan's S-chassis, or Silvia, as it was named in Japan, is synonymous with the art of drifting and has long served as one of the most desirable vehicle chassis by enthusiasts worldwide. That fact remains even today, over two decades after the last bit of production took place."''
-->--[[https://www.motortrend.com/features/nissan-silvia-s13-s14-s15-drift-car-history-specs-photos/ The Classic Nissan Silvia S13, S14, S15: History, Generations, Specs, Photos]], ''[=MotorTrend=]''
Arguably ''the'' most popular and ubiquitous JDM tuner and drift car there is.
[[ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming Derived from Sylvia, the nymph who served the goddess of the hunt, Diana]], the Nissan Silvia is a series of front-engine, rear-wheel drive sports cars produced from 1965 until the end of 2002. Various have been exported of Japan and [[MarketBasedTitle marketed]] as either the [=200SX=] or [=240SX=], usually sold under the Datsun brand.
It all began in 1964 when it was made public during the Tokyo Motor Show, built from an existing Nissan Fairlady platform. The first Silvia ([=CSP311=]) or the "Datsun Coupé 1500" began production in 1965, which all are handcrafted and built in limited quantities (with a mere 554 produced), utilizing a 1.6 L Nissan R inline-4 engine producing 95 hp. It was considered to be one of the fastest Japanese cars at that time when it was provided to local Tokyo metropolitan police for a patrolling car.
It was PutOnABus in 1968 before the Silvia marked its return in 1975, with its new S10 chassis, built on its all-new S platform. Intended to be a compact RWD sports car, this would see a massive production boom for the model, and saw massive exports to North American markets as the Datsun [=200SX=]. Through out its short 4-year life span from 1975 to 1979, it has produced over 145,000 units. It was followed by the S110, noted for its sharp design and similarities to the Nissan Leopard. It would later on be rebadged as the Nissan Gazelle. The S12 produced from 1983 to 1989, with its usage of its retractable pop-up headlights and its resemblance to the Toyota [=AE86=] Corolla Levin/Sprinter Trueno.
By 1988, Nissan launches the S13 which became extremely popular and perhaps the one that [[TropeCodifier codified]] the Silvia name. Upon its introduction, the S13 follows a unique suite of trim levels named after PlayingCardMotifs; ''J's'' which is the naturally-aspirated base, the ''Q's'', which is the intermediary level, which offers turbochargers as an option, and ''K's'', which is the flagship turbocharger model. On the same year, a separate fastback model, the [=180SX=] was released, built on the same S13 chassis. Both the Silvia and the [=180SX=] were marketed as the [=240SX=] in North America and the [=200SX=] in Europe. This was almost the same methodology used for the S14 Silvia in 1993, which was offered a larger turbocharge, as well as being also available in "Aero" variants with more ground effects and large rear spoilers.
In 1999, just as the TurnOfTheMillennium starts, Japan saw a brand new version of the Silvia, now as the S15 with aggressive styling as par to modern car design trends. Unlike the previous two predecessors, the Silvia trims are just simplified to just '''Spec-S''' and '''Spec-R''', representing naturally-aspirated and turbocharged engines respectively. Both are also available in "Aero" variants, too. The S15 was only sold in Japan, but also had exports to Australia and New Zealand as the [=200SX=]. With strengthening emission laws and the spiking popularity of minivans hitting the sales of sports coupes, the Silvia ended production on August 2002.
The Silvia has been into various forms of motorsports ranging from the [=240RS=] that competed in Group B, to the super silhouette S12 that drew interest to many of the top tuners like HKS and Tomei. Other than that, Silvias have been widely used in drifting, especially the S13 through S15 models, due to its extreme versatility of the S-chassis. This began widely popular in Japan's premiere drifting championship, the D1 Grand Prix, where about 50% of the drivers use Silvias as their choice of cars.

[[AC:Anime and Manga]]
* Being a dedicated drift car, ''Manga/InitialD'' features Silvias driven by characters who have found solace with drifting, due to being part of the car's gimmick.
** TheLeader of the Akina [=SpeedStars=], Koichiro Iketani drives a Lime Green Two-tone S13 Silvia K's, which the car itself looks near-stock other than the exhaust and 4-spoke SSR wheels. [[spoiler:During ''First Stage'', his car was badly damaged during a practice run while avoiding an oncoming car, but lost control and crashed onto a guardrail.]]
** Iketani's NumberTwo, Kenji on the other hand drives a white [=180SX=] which [[TheUnfought never saw any battles]].
** And speaking of the 180, meet [[AmazonBrigade Mako Sato and Sayuri]], the two ladies of Impact Blue. Their signature car is none other than the blue [=SilEighty=], a [=180SX=] with an S13 front end. Mako drives the car while Sayuki acts as her navigator and co-pilot. Not only the duo got ADayInTheLimelight in ''Extra Stage'', but even the car itself also counts.
** An orange zenki S14 Silvia Q's ([[AdaptationalDyeJob red in]] ''[[VideoGame/InitialDArcadeStage Arcade Stage]]'') is driven by Kenta Nakamura, a member of Akagi [=RedSuns=] and the team's rain specialist.
** Then you have ThoseTwoGuys... from Tokyo. Both own and drive a Sparkling Silver S15 Silvia that looks purely stock on the outside.
** Team Spiral's Hiroya Okuyama drives a Brilliant Blue S15 with a GP Sports kit. Despite its fully modded looks, [[spoiler:He gets utterly [[CurbStompBattle curbstomped]] by Takumi Fujiwara, falling behind during his downhill race at Nanamagari.]]
* A red Nissan 180SX was the car driven by the main character of a web manga ''Dricam!!'', Rin Todoroki. Since the manga was all about drifting, expect a numerous amount of Silvias to make an appearance.
* ''Manga/WanganMidnight'' has an S15 Silvia tuned by RGO tested by Eiji Kamiya in the "Hanshin Expressway" arc. The same Silvia would later be driven by Yamanaka (one of the mechanics working in RGO) and Rikako Ota in ''[=WMMT1=]'' and ''[=WMMT2=]'', respectively.
[[AC:Film -- Animation]]
* ''Franchise/{{Cars}}'' features a Silvia {{Expy}}, usually under the Kyoku brand:
** Boost, one of the the [[Main/{{Delinquents}} Delinquent Road Hazards]], is cladded in a Kyoko Jitsu body, which is based on a 1999 Nissan Silvia S15.
** The episode "Tokyo Mater" during ''[[WesternAnimation/PixarShorts Mater's Tall Tales]]'' has Mater surrounded by Kabuto's Ninja henchcars, all are based of [=200/240SXs=]. And they know "CarFu" (pun unintended, if you know what we mean).
[[AC:Film -- Live Action]]
* Silvias are amongst the popular [=JDMs=] during the tuner era of ''Franchise/TheFastAndTheFurious'':
** The most recognizable of all its sisters would be the "Mona Lisa" C-WEST Silvia S15 Spec-S of ''Film/TheFastAndTheFuriousTokyoDrift'', built by Han Seoul-Oh and driven by Sean Boswell, notable for its blue paint and orange wraparound stripe. It was used for drifting around the parking lot. And then the car gets badly damages when he crashes into the pillars.
** A red watered down version of the S14 Silvia, the [=240SX=] fitted with a VIS body kit belonged to Letty Ortiz in the [[Film/TheFastAndTheFurious2001 first film]], used to partake in race wars.
* Maggie Peyton of ''Film/HerbieFullyLoaded'' originally chose a [=240SX=] as a graduation present. Until Herbie wriggled free of a crane and lands down atop of the car, crushing it.
* Jason Mewes, who stars AsHimself of ''Film/MadnessInTheMethod'' brings a JDM around UsefulNotes/LosAngeles. And that is a brilliant blue S15, completely decked with a Vertex Ridge body kit.
[[AC:Live-Action TV]]
* A black Nissan S14 [=200SX=] is the main car of Curtis and Keel of ''[[Series/TheProfessionals [=CI5=]: The New Professionals]]''. Interestingly, this was HilariousInHindsight as there was an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rwcb_D2Xm-w ad]] made years earlier before the show, showing signs of ProductPlacement with Nissan.
* A highly-modified zenki S14 Silvia, painted in red is the CoolCar of Scott Truman of ''Series/PowerRangersRPM'', which is his pride and joy. Bonus points that he is the red ranger, so... ColorCodedForYourConvenience!
* Section Chief Kenzo Kogure of ''Series/SeibuKeisatsu'' has a Nissan Gazelle convertible as his personal car, like his actor, Creator/YujiroIshihara did in RealLife.
[[AC:Music]]
* When Music/{{Eminem}} bailed out of his motorcycle during the music video "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeCihv9A3ac Phenomenal]]", he outright landed (accidentally) on the driver seat of the unnamed driver's (Creator/RandallPark) Rocket Bunny [=240SX=]. When both switched seats, Eminem DrivesLikeCrazy here as he drifts the car all around while outrunning his {{Mooks}} in G-Wagons. Randall would eventually took a [[SelfieFiend selfie]] with Em in this car...
-->'''Eminem:''' Really? Are you taking a fucking selfie?\\
'''Randall:''' Uh, yeah, could you look at the camera?\\
'''Eminem:''' [[GetOut OUT!]]
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrAchTdepsU Mood]]" by Music/TwentyFourKGoldn shows him sitting with his girlfriend with his [[PimpedOutCar pimped-out]] [=240SX=]. And said girlfriend angrily threatened to [[BatterUp batter up]] his car when she found out he's texting someone.
[[AC:Video Games]]
* Silvias are Nissan's typical B-class cars of ''VideoGame/BattleGear''. By ''3'', there is a tuned [=180SX=] (which is a [=SilEighty=]) where upon looking at the interior, you can clearly see a driver and a passenger occupying both seats, a-la [[Manga/InitialD Mako & Sayuki]].
* About 50% of the Professional drivers of ''D1 Professional Drift Grand Prix Series'' dig S15 Silvias as their preferred car of choice.
* While there are so many Silvias to list down, this perhaps became extremely notorious. The S15 Silvia Spec-R that appeared in every ''VideoGame/{{Forza}}'' game to date, which gained infamy from the community for the car being totally OffModel. From its droopy rear quarter, to its pinched nose, to lacking fog lamps and side skirts. So much for being ''ahem''... "[[BlatantLies built from the ground up]]".
** Other than that, there are also plenty of Formula D [=S14s=] too. Many of them having an S15 front end.
* ''Way'' too many examples to count in ''VideoGame/GranTurismo'', since there are loads and loads of Silvias and its regional derivatives plus its various trims, as well as your grandma's obscure S12. There is so many to list down, that the series even had spawned a dedicated "Silvia Sisters" one-make race.
* ''[[VideoGame/SanFranciscoRush L.A. Rush]]'' has that blue [=240SX=] (S14) as the car you start off with. That car belonged to Trikz Lane, TheProtagonist of the game who stated it all began with this car which gave his a renowned reputation. And following the repossession of his mansion, the S14 is what's left of him.
* Silvias have been a popular tuner in ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeed'', typically as a [[StarterMon starter car]].
** While it was introduced in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUnderground Underground]]'', the [=240SX=] returned in the ''Collector's Edition'' ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedCarbon Carbon]]'' as probably a Tier 1 powerhouse due to being the JackOfAllStats performance-wise.
** The [=240SX=] the signature car of Ryan Cooper from ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedProStreet [=ProStreet=]]]'', despite its [[WhatAPieceOfJunk unassuming appearance]]. After you finish D-Day, you get to keep the car and is highly your starter car. It returned again in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUndercover Undercover]]'' and again.... it's your starter car.
** ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedShift Shift]]'' has many notables examples, where the Drift Alliance [=240SX=] is given to you for drift events.
** By the time of the [[VideoGame/NeedForSpeed2015 2015 reboot]], it switches from 240 to 180 which your mate, Amy drives this car. Lots of aftermarket body kits can be applied, ranging from Rocket Bunny kits to ones made by Origin Labs.
** The Silvia S15, by surprise is driven by ''[=ProStreet's=]'' drift king, Aki Kimura in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedPayback Payback]]''.
** Finally, the S14 K's Aero of ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUnbound Unbound]]'' which is one of the three starter cars. Deck out a Legendary Customs body kit and it looks like it's some hillclimbing time attack car with its [[RiceBurner comically large spoiler]] and its roof completely torn off.
* Makoto Sawaki of ''VideoGame/RacingLagoon'' is perhaps notable of his iconic Sil-14. As the name implies, it's indeed an S14 Silvia. [[spoiler:It was the car that took his life during the Yokohama GP qualifying round.]]
* The Spec-R Aero S15 is the car you'd probably start off ''Real Racing 3''.
* There's too much to list on in ''VideoGame/TokyoXtremeRacer'', but the one the stands out the most and is fully recognizable amongst the Silvia drivers is none other than the Death Driver, the most fearsome of the expressway. And his iconic black and red S15 perhaps something none shall be trifled with. The Gloomy Angel on the other hand is just a PaletteSwap, with its car painted white.
* While Rikako Ohta DoesNotDrive in the manga/anime, ''VideoGame/WanganMidnightMaximumTune'' on the other hand has her being a capable driver on the highway. And her choice of car is a [[PinkMeansFeminine pink]] Nissan Silvia S15.
** And there's the long-awaited S13, available exclusively to Japanese players in ''[=5DX+=]'' but also as a December Navi scratch-off for overseas players of ''[=6RR=]''. Unfortunately, the S13 can't be modified, despite the fact there had long been biblical amounts of body kits for said car.

->''"Its simple and powerful design is something of a rarity among Japanese cars. It's undeniable that the Nissan designers wanted to express the story of the Skyline GT-R through this car. And that is truly an act of love."''
-->--'''Hikonori Kagurazaka''', explaining the R34 Skyline in GT Cafe, ''VideoGame/GranTurismo 7''
The Skyline GT-R is the top-of-the-line performance sports car based on the Nissan Skyline range of compact luxury sedans.
The first GT-R was produced in 1969 as the [=KPGC10=] chassis or as it's more commonly known, the "Hakosuka".[[note]]"Hako" being Japanese for "box", in reference to its squared appearence, and "suka" coming from the pronounciation of "Skyline" in Japanese, '''''Suka'''irain''.[[/note]] It found lasting success in motorsports with 49 consecutive wins in its belt. In 1973, the next generation GT-R was produced and highly regarded as the "Kenmeri" Skyline due to it renowned advertising, featuring a young couple named Ken and Mary, despite its short-lived production due to emission regulations.
The GT-R name was revived [[TheBusCameBack following a 16-year hiatus]], now as the twin-turbocharged [=4WD=] [=BNR32=] (or R32 for short). The [=R32=] Skyline participated in various motorsport events, mainly in touring car championships in Japan and Australia, which saw dominance in both series, winning consecutive championship titles, to the point that Australian motor publication ''Wheels'' nicknamed the GT-R "Godzilla" for its technology and performance in its July 1989 issue.
The Skyline GT-R became the flagship of Nissan performance, showcasing many advanced technologies. Production ended in 2002 and was succeeded by the Nissan GT-R ([=R35=]) in 2007, which is [[DecompositeCharacter a separate grand tourer]] [[ContinuityReboot unrelated to the Skyline range]]. Today, the car is popular for import drag racing, circuit track, time attack and events hosted by tuning magazines.
Despite the Skyline GT-R never being manufactured outside Japan, [[note]] the sole export markets were Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand, in 1991, and the UK in 1997, due to the Single Vehicle Approval scheme[[/note]] it has become an iconic sports car as a used Japanese import vehicle in the Western world [[note]]mainly the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Ireland, Canada, and the United States[[/note]], prompting Nismo's announcement in 2019 that it would resume production of spare parts and components for all generations of the Skyline GT-R.
The car was named at the time by ''Series/TopGearUK'' as "the only true Japanese contribution in the line of supercars," and by Creator/JeremyClarkson as one of the best cars in the world.

* '''GT-RRR''', which consists of ''nothing but Skyline GT-R models'' is piloted by Shunsuke in the anime of ''VideoGame/ChousokuHenkeiGyrozetter''
* A red R32 GT-R is the CoolCar of Miyuki Kobayashi, a professional GetawayDriver during the final season of ''Manga/CityHunter''.
* [[HospitalHottie Nao]] [[HotTeacher Kadena]], the legendary street racing queen of ''Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka'' drives a Hakusoka as her personal CoolCar. In the prequel ''Manga/GTOTheEarlyYears'' however, she uses Kenmeri GT-R instead, a rare sight to see amongst the 197 units produced.
* ''Manga/InitialD'' has very well-known examples where the Skyline GT-R plays its part:
** A black pearl metallic R32 GT-R is perhaps a popular example. It's driven by Myogi [=NightKids=] leader, Takeshi Nakazato. Because of its AWD layout, the car would rather grip more than drift, which may not be as flashy as it seems. [[spoiler:In his battle against Takumi, his R32 suffered understeer and wear, causing the car to lose control and hits a guardrail, damaging it.]]
** Kozo "[[RedBaron God Foot]]" Hoshino of Purple Shadow drive a Millennium Jade Nür-spec GT-R R34. In his own history, he was an owner of previous generation [=GT-Rs=] to the point non of them fits his taste, prior to his R34 Nür purchase.
** Rin Hojo in ''Fifth Stage'' drives a gun gray R32. [[spoiler:He uses this car to battle Ryosuke's RX-7 in a deathmatch at Hakone Turnpike, where Rin uses his car like a battering ram and slam the hell out of Ryosuke.

** This is the choice of car of TheFashionista Reina Akikawa, an R32 with a gunmetal grey paint job. [[spoiler:Following the end of the Perfect GT-R arc, as well as her ExpositoryHairstyleChange, her R32 was changed into a Crystal white finish.]]
** Speaking of the "Perfect GT-R", Green Auto shop mechanic Koichi Hiramoto attempted to immortalize his own R32. [[spoiler:In the long run against the Devil Z and Blackbird, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere he back off and withdraws from the race]]. He later sold his R32 and gives up racing so he can return to his wife Megumi and their newborn child.]]
** Since ''Maximum Tune 2'', RGO Yamanaka usually drove RGO's pink R33 Skyline GT-R.
** The [=R200CLUB=] shows the definitive meaning of [[EverybodyOwnsAFord Everybody Owns an R33 Skyline]] as every single member, including FLAT Racing's Takayuki Kuroki drives nothing but R33 Skylines.
** Tomoya, a mechanic in ACE tuning shop and the so-called "R-Killer" drives a modified R32 Skyline, dubbed the "[[ICallItVera [=ACE32R=]]]", [[spoiler:which he failed to overtake both the Devil Z and the Blackbird during a race for Wangan superiority, resulting him to leave Tokyo for good.]]
--->[[spoiler:'''Tomoya:''' I'll never forget this race.]]
** Yuji Kishida, Yamamoto's half-brother who works at YM Speed also drives an R33. In ''Maximum Tune 6'', he decided to tryout a sports roadster, the Honda S2000.
[[AC:Film -- Live Action]]
* Perhaps one of the best examples would be the iconic silver and blue-striped R34 GT-R of ''Film/TwoFastTwoFurious'', as seen in the hands of Brian O'Connor. This would be his go-to car used to battle against Suki, Slap Jack and Orange Jack. Brian would continue to use the R34 in ''Film/FastAndFurious'' before ditching it for an [=R35=] in future films.
** Earlier on, Leon, one of the members of Dominic Toretto's crew drives a yellow R33 in [[Film/TheFastAndTheFurious2001 the first film]], used to partake in street racing.
** After breaking Dominic Toretto was broken free from the prison bus at the beginning of ''Film/FastFive'', Brian O'Connor obtains a black 1971 Nissan Skyline GT-R and drives himself and his love interest Mia to Rio de Janeiro. How on earth did this extremely rare car find its way to Brazil anyway? ''Who cares!''
* This AceCustom Citadel armada vehicle called the "Caltrop #2" in ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'' uses the R32 Skyline GT-R as the basis.
* Nightbird, the sole female member of the Terrorcons in ''Film/TransformersRiseOfTheBeasts'' has her altmode; a Nissan Skyline GT-R R33 with a grey-faded brown two-tone paint scheme, pink custom wheels, a rear wing, and louvres.
[[AC:Video Games]]
* ''VideoGame/BattleGear'' has the [=Skyline GT-Rs=] as Nissan's A-Class powerhouse. In ''4 Tuned'', you also get special edition models like the Nismo-tuned Skyline R34 and the limited R33 GT-R LM.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Blur}}'', the twins Harumi and Ayumi both drive Skyline GT-R Nismos. Beat them in a one-on-one-- or... ''one-on-two'' race, and you get not one, but ''two'' of the [=GT-Rs=], both fitted with "Scatter Shot" allowing you to throw all 3 bolts in a single press of a button.
* The Nakamura Ikusa GT in ''VideoGame/BurnoutParadise'' strikes a resemblance to the R34 GT-R.
* Then you have the Incubator V12 of ''VideoGame/{{Crashday}}'', based on the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34. Note that Skyline [=GT-Rs=] use ''inline-6'' engines, not [=V12s=].
* The Nissan Skyline ([=BCNR33=]) GT-R appeared in ''VideoGame/DriverSanFrancisco'', [[ArtisticLicenseCars depicted as left-hand drive for some reason, something Japan never produced in real life]]. The team race mission has one of the key charcater Tanner!Jules drive this.
* Extremely common in ''VideoGame/{{Forza}}'', whether in vanilla stock, racing or pre-tuned flavors.
* ''VideoGame/GranTurismo'': You will see crap tons of [[PaletteSwap trim levels]] of the Nissan Skyline GT-R to the point it has the "Race of Red Emblem" one-make race. Some of the huge long list of examples are the V-spec, V-spec II, V-spec II Nür, M-spec, all the Nismo variants, JGTC variants, the [[MemeticMutation memetic]] pace car, ''[[Main/LongList and the list goes on, and on, and on...]]''
* The Annis Elegy Retro Custom in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoOnline'' is a mishmash blend of multiple generations of the Nissan Skyline GT-R.
* ''VideoGame/{{GRID}}'' gives you the Nismo R34 Z-tune as one of the Pro Tuner cars. Its subsequent games later add 2 [=R32s=]: a Group A variant and the time attack Auto Gallery machine. In ''VideoGame/GridLegends'', a RiceBurner Time Attack R34 is also added in the tuner list.
* ''VideoGame/LeMans24'' has the Nismo GT-R LM as one of the beginner cars, [[NintendoHard which will give you a slim chance of getting in the Top 5]].
* ''VideoGame/MidnightClub'' features the GT-R as a venerable JDM import for street racers to begin with:
** Makoto, the penultimate boss of ''II'' drives the Torque JX, a Skyline R34 {{Expy}} with a Veilside Street drag kit.
** In ''3'', it's a Class C Tuner that can battle maxed-out Class B cars or even some Class A cars. Oscar would say, that it is "one of the most beautiful import tuners you can get." In ''3 Remix'', the R34 serves as Tokyo's police car. ...and you can actually drive it.
** Speaking of import tuners, ''Los Angeles'' has the R34 available too. It's too [[ImprobablyCoolCar improbable]] to have a Skyline in America at the first place, that the local police will call you out for this!
--->This thing is too fast there is no way it is street legal!
* ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeed'' is happy to add the Godzilla in their long-running franchise:
** ''VideoGame/TheNeedForSpeed'' Japan-exclusive ''Over Drivin' GT-R'' and ''Over Drivin' Skyline Memorial'' is your complete textbook example where [[EverybodyOwnsAFord Everybody Owns a Nissan]]. ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, Skyline [=GT-Rs=] are included.
** ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedHighStakes High Stakes]]'' made the Skyline GT-R R34 a Japan-exclusive car.
** One of the most famous ''Need for Speed'' cars is Eddie's orange custom Eastsiders R34 in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedUnderground Underground]]''. It's so nifty, it served as the game's cover front and center and it would make a comeback in future ''NFS'' games. The vanilla R34 itself would return in subsequent games, starting with ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedCarbon Carbon]]''.
** The cover car in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedPayback Payback]]'' is a red R34 with a Sun Line Racing body kit, driven by Tyler Morgan during the game's prologue.
** The [=R32=] of the Speedhunters Showdown organizer, Dex in ''[[VideoGame/NeedForSpeedHeat Heat]]'' is a clear ShoutOut to the Bathurst-winning Group A [=R32=] race car.
* The Drifter GT in ''VideoGame/{{Sleeping Dogs|2012}}'' is based on the R34 variant of the Skyline GT-R, with some influences from the Toyota Chaser.
* ''VideoGame/RacingLagoon'' features the almighty Godzilla used to dominate the streets of Yokohama:
** The Shiina sisters Kyoka and Haruka drive matching black [=32TypeRs=], which would be the R32 Skyline GT-R to be exact.
** ...but what stood out amongst the Godzillas is the {{Pimped Out|Car}} Monster-R, a completely modified Nissan R33 Skyline GT-R.
* ''Street Racing Syndicate'' has an absurd amount of R34 trims, like in ''Gran Turismo''. But what makes it distinctive is [[https://igcd.net/vehicle.php?id=221314 Ken's yellow C-West [=R34=]]], being the iconic car of the game.
* ''VideoGame/TestDrive 5'' has the R33 Skyline, while the R34 would take over in ''6'', ''Overdrive'' (also serving as the cop car in Tokyo) and ''[[VideoGame/TestDriveUnlimited Unlimited]]'' ([[ArtisticLicenseCars which oddly uses a left-hand drive for some reason]]).
* ''VideoGame/TokyoXtremeRacer'':
** Free Way is a team composed entirely of GT-R drivers who believe they're driving no mere car, but the embodiment of Japan itself given car form. As such, they're extremely prideful of their cars, and will not take insults towards them lying down.
** The most famous GT-R in the series is undoubtebly Jintei's azure R34, one of the three fastest cars in the Metropolitan Expressway's history. In spite of using it in only three of the six games he appears in, it remains the car he's most commonly associated with.
* ''VideoGame/WanganMidnightMaximumTune'' features ''all'' the five generations of the Skyline GT-R. The R32 is [[ComplacentGamingSyndrome extremely used ubiquitously by many players]], while the R34 is considered to be a HighTierScrappy, to the point it's being called the "[[FanNickname No Skill GT-R]]".
