Nissan Skyline Super Silhouette Group 5 '84

The Nissan Skyline Super Silhouette Group 5 '84 is a race car produced by Nissan. It appears in Gran Turismo 2, as the Nissan Skyline Silhouette Formula (R30), and returned in Gran Turismo 7 after a long absence from the series as part of Update 1.19.
The car appears to be the 1984 #11 KDR30 Super Silhouette entered by Tomica Hasemi Motorsport in that year's Fuji Super Silhouette Series, driven by Masahiro Hasemi, who achieved two victories in the time period.
==Colors==
There are two color schemes available for this car:
* Red (#11, Tomica in GT7)
* Blue (unnamed, GT2 only)
==In-game description==
"An extraordinary Skyline that stood out in races of the 1980s."
The Hakosuka GT-R, which gets its nickname from "Hako" (square) and "Suka" (Skyline), took Japanese motorsports by storm and ended its illustrious career in 1972. But the legend of the Skyline refused to die, and fans continued to hope for its return many years after. 
Their hopes became reality in 1982 when Nissan created a Silhouette Formula car based on the sixth-generation Skyline 2000RS, powered by a 4-valve DOHC engine that had not been in the lineup since the "Kenmeri" GT-R. (Ken Meri was a nickname that came from the car's commercials.) This was the Skyline Super Silhouette. 
The Super Silhouette racecars were pure race cars that maintained the silhouette of production models. These cars were active in the Fuji Super Silhouette Series, which began as the supporting race for the Fuji Grand Champion Races in 1979, but the Silhouette Series soon became more popular than the main Grand Champion event. 
===Legend Cars (GT7)===
Have you ever heard of the 'Fuji Grand Champion Race'? It was really popular in Japan during the 1980s. If you've heard of the race before... You probably know about the 'Super Silhouette' race cars that competed in the opening races for those events. The Super Silhouette races were hosted under the Group 5 regulations of the time. While the exteriors of the cars maintained the look of a production model... On the inside they were purebred racing cars developed for competition. This Nissan Skyline Super Silhouette proved to be the most popular car in the series. Famous for its flaming side-exit exhaust, it is an iconic car that is still fondly remembered by many fans.

==Trivia==
*In GT2, the car's name in-game is misspelled R30 Silhouette Foumula, instead of Formula.
**Additionally, the car's listed dimensions appears to be inaccurate, using that of the Nissan SKYLINE Hard Top 2000 RS-X Turbo C (R30) '84, the car's road-going counterpart. It also has an incorrect tire size, weight, and torque.
*In the demo versions of GT2, this car was originally the racing modification for the road-going counterpart, which may explain why it has a blue color that was not in the actual car.
**Additionally, due to texture limitations, the car number was removed from the car.
*The car used to hold the record for the longest absence in the franchise (22 years, 7 months, and 5 days), taking roughly four console generations of the series, before being beaten by the Nissan SKYLINE GT-R NISMO (R32) '90.
*With the car being classified as a Gr.3 car in GT7, despite being a Group 5 racing car due to its speed being comparable to modern Gr.3 cars, it is the oldest Gr.3 car in the series, breaking the record previously held by the McLaren F1 GTR - BMW '95.
**It is also the lightest Gr.3 in the game, also formerly held by said McLaren.
*In GT7's Livery Editor, if the prompt to remove the default livery is answered, the front Skyline emblem and the rear badges will also be removed, but the default red/black paint will be retained until a custom paint color is applied. The former behavior also occurs on the Nissan R92CP '92, the Lexus RC F GT500 '16, theLexus SC430 GT500 '08, the Nissan SILVIA K's AERO (S14) '96, and the Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport '16, while the latter behavior also occurs on the Nissan GT-R GT500 '99, the Ford GT Race Car '18, the McLaren MP4/4 '88, the Volkswagen ID. R '19, the Honda NSX GT500 '00, and the Gran Turismo F3500-A.
**Additionally, the car's custom door number boxes are not placed in the same position as the default door number. If the car with the default livery is used in a Sport Mode race that places a mandatory number box, the mandatory number box would be placed on the top of the Tomica decals.
*The dashboard appears to be weathered/worn down when in first-person view, as evidenced of some of the missing lettering as a result of wear.
*The car also features a short delay on the tachometer, akin to a ticking clock, similar to the Alpine A220 '68, the Ferrari 500 Mondial Pinin Farina Coupe '54, the Jaguar D-type '54, and the Jaguar XJ13 '66.
