==In-game description==
"Boasting 394.5 HP and an extremely limited production run, this is the ultimate R33 GT-R from Nismo."
The 400R, introduced in 1996, broke the mold when it came to Japanese performance cars. With a maximum output of 394.5 HP, it was the most powerful in its day when JDM cars were limited to 276.1 HP, and its eye-popping 12 million-yen price tag was roughly three times that of the base R33 Skyline GT-R. Utilizing all of Nismo's expertise, the 400R was developed with the goal of producing the fastest possible GT-R variant that could still be driven on the road. 
The 400R came equipped with a power unit based on a version of the RB26DETT engine called the RBX-GT2. To achieve the characteristics of a road-approved vehicle, Nismo used specially developed pistons and a hardier crankshaft, while increasing engine displacement to 2.8 liters. And with N1-spec turbochargers also boosting power, the RBX-GT2 delivered high torque at low rpms, allowing the car to behave in a more civil fashion than the base R33. 
The engine improvements resulted in more power at the top of the rpm spectrum; therefore, Nismo installed a twin-plate clutch and a lightweight propeller shaft made from carbon fiber. To improve the car's handling, Bilstein dampers, front and rear stabilizers, and reinforced bushings were added to the already taut suspension system. 
As the culmination of Nismo's technological expertise and know-how, the 400R just may be the ultimate Skyline GT-R. 
===Legend Cars (GT7)===
The NISMO 400R is the ultimate form of the GT-R lineage. The car is, of course, based on the Skyline GT-R, but you won't find 'Skyline'Despite this, an embossed Skyline logo is still present on the rear. or 'GT-R' anywhere on it. From engine to aero to chassis, this limited model was tuned by NISMO, Nissan's motorsports division... Which named it, simply, '400R'. The name may be the reason this car is not talked about as much as other legendary Skyline GT-Rs, perhaps. Yet it's a culmination of Nissan knowhow gained at Le Mans, from its bespoke increased displacement engine... To its reinforced suspension and clutch, to its extensive use of carbon fibre, notably in the prop shafts. When the 400R was being planned, Japanese automakers had a self-imposed limit of 280 horsepower for road cars. But as its name suggests, the 400R had 400 horsepower. It also had a price tag to match, costing 3 times as much as a new R33 model Skyline GT-R. One of the most expensive Japanese-made cars at the time, Nissan claims to have built only 44 400Rs. Due to its rarity, these days, it is one of the most difficult Skyline GT-R models to find.

==Trivia==
*In GT2, compared to the NISMO 400R '96, this car has a lower sale price, lower redline (7000-7500 rpm; the final 400R's redline is at 8000 rpm) and can't be race modified. Apart these three small differences, this car and the NISMO 400R '96 are practically equal.
**In GT7, the car has a redline of ~8000 rpm, which is also reflected in the interior tachometer.
*The word "Preceiding" as present in name of the car in GT2 is a typo; the proper spelling should be "Preceding".
*As per the car's name in GT2 and its model year in GT7, the car appears to based on the chassis 400R-000-T1, the prototype model of the 400R.
*This car holds the record for the longest absence in the series, returning to Gran Turismo 7 after 23 years, 10 months and 23 days, beating out the Nissan GT-R NISMO (R32) '90.
**Coincindentally, all cars released after the launch of GT7 that have broken the record are Nissan Skylines; the first car to initially break the record was the Nissan Skyline Super Silhouette Group 5 '84.
*This is the first, and currently the only, Professionally Tuned car to be sold from the Legend Car Dealership. 
*At Cr. 1,800,000, it is currently the most expensive Professionally Tuned car in the game.
**This reflects the fact that the real world price of the 400R could go as far as $2.2 million.
*Although the car is not actually classified as a Nissan car, it can enter Nissan manufacturer scapes.
*In GT7's GT Auto, the GT-R badge can be restored. A widebody can also be applied, making it the second Professionally Tuned car with the ability to do since the Toyota SPRINTER TRUENO GT-APEX (AE86 Shuichi Shigeno Version) '00.
*In GT7, the Lightning Yellow color used on the 400R is darker than the one used for other Nissan models, being a closer match to Speed Yellow from Porsche.
**The prototype was originally silver, but later repainted in Speed Yellow.
