Yoshida-san's Porsche club was the most famous, but people in MNC drove GT-R's and RX-7's and 280Z's in the mix too. One of the most notable examples actually being a Nissan exec who drove his own personal GT-R, and whenever he felt like things weren't up to snuff with the competition, he'd take it to the factory and have the boys whip up stuff to make it faster lol.
He's the head of NISMO today.
In the 80's the fastest guys around the block were actually the 'American Car Club', since hot rodding tuning and personal vehicle modification in general was already a 'done thing' in that subculture, so there were some real beasts based on classic muscle car chassis' like Firebirds and Trans-Ams. A lot of 'racing clubs' were break-aways from this in fact.
