They lacked funding. When the right guy got in to put them on track, their hybrid was too weak. This wasn't a 'Japanese' effort imo. More like a couple of Nisssan guys who thought they had everything figured out. It looks to me that Nissan said "have at it", gave them a little bit of money and this is what happened. Should've got those guys at Nismo doing the SuperGT cars from the beginning. They've made front engine cars actually win (in gt500).
