Nissan Motorsports International, abbreviated Nismo, is a division of Nissan Motorsports and Customizing focused on motorsport and performance-oriented car models for Nissan. It began as a company, Nissan Motorsports International Co., Ltd., formed in September 1984 by merging two Nissan motorsport departments, the Oppama Works and the Omori Works, as the in-house tuning, motorsports and performance subsidiary of Nissan. Its roots go back to 1964, when the Prince Motor Company entered motorsport with the Skyline 2000GT. Nismo has competed in the Japan Sports Prototype Championship, the Japanese Touring Car Championship, the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the 24 Hours of Daytona, and in 2022 it was merged with Autech into Nissan Motorsports and Customizing.
