In this link, Nismo calls it Fairlady Z GT300 (the JGTC category in which the car raced - there was also a GT500 Fairlady Z). http://www.nismo.co.jp/en/products/competition/of/2046e.html And here's the car from another angle : http://www.slotracinglemans.com/images/liveries/niss_350z_gt300.jpg That said, scale model manufacturers weren't quite sure about the version name. Ebbro made a 1/43 diecast model of this car and called it "Fairlady Z GT race prototype". https://www.flickr.com/photos/justjdm/2903515058/ While Tomica called its 1/58 scale toy car a "Fairlady Z GT racing type". https://www.flickr.com/photos/justjdm/2902673435/
