Nissan Presents Over Drivin' GT-R (オーバードライビンGT-R) is a racing game for the Sega Saturn.

It is a heavily localised version of Road & Track Presents The Need for Speed, with all the cars replaced by vehicles produced by Nissan Motor Company (plus a few with Datsun branding). Japanese Saturn owners never received The Need for Speed, though PlayStation owners did in the form of Road & Track Presents Over Drivin' DX. The PlayStation version was then tweaked and re-released as Nissan Presents Over Drivin' Skyline Memorial, which serves as the basis for Nissan Presents Over Drivin' GT-R. GT-R contains more cars and tracks than Skyline Memorial.

Though much of the core engine remains the same as The Need for Speed, many of the tracks in Over Drivin' GT-R are unlocked from the start, there are minor sound changes and FMV and graphics replacements. Because the game now showcases a history of Nissan rather than having a choice of vehicles from multiple manufacturers, the game is considered far less balanaced, as some cars will almost always beat others. The "Premium Pack" version of the game came with a free keyring.
