speed records, breaking seven records in October of that year. Following Nissan's development of the newer R381 in 1968, the R380s were sold to privateers. Three were once again entered in the Japanese Grand Prix, where they took third, fourth, and fifth places. Two factory-entered R380s went on to finish first and second in the 1969 Chevron Paradise 6 Hour race at the Surfers Paradise International Raceway in Australia. 1969 saw one R380 taking second place in the 1000 km of Fuji race, and yet another second place in 1970 at a event at Fuji. In 2005, Nismo would restore an R380-II and use it for exhibition events, running alongside other cars in the R380 series. References External links R380 Nissan racing cars Group 6 (racing) cars
