In 1981, Bob Sharp Racing team used a loophole in the IMSA GTO rules to build a Datsun 280ZX inside the U.S. with a V8 engine from a Nissan President. This car was not a success and became obsolete when the new GTP category was created.

After the RX7 came on the scene, Nissan faded from being competitive in IMSA, as the RX7 went on to win its class in the IMSA 24 Hours of Daytona race ten years in a row, starting in 1982, and won the IMSA GTU championship each year from 1980 through 1987. The RX7 went on to win more IMSA races in its class than any other model of automobile, with its one hundredth victory on September 2, 1990. Nissan couldn't compete.
That's because the 280zx went out of production, you can't blame the 280zx for the 300zx's short comings.
