On 6 January 2020, Nistor signed a ​2  ⁄2 -year contract with CS Universitatea Craiova for an undisclosed fee. He made his debut on the 31st in a 3–1 Liga I victory over Gaz Metan Mediaș, and scored his first goals in a 2–3 Cupa României loss to Politehnica Iași on 4 March.

His next caps only came during late 2019 under manager Cosmin Contra, appearing as a substitute in both UEFA Euro 2020 qualifiers against Norway and Spain.

Nistor terminated his contract with CFR Cluj and rejoined Dinamo București on 13 January 2018. He was assigned the number 10 shirt and played his first match upon return on 4 February, in a 2–2 Liga I draw with CS Universitatea Craiova.

On 29 July 2018, Nistor scored in an Eternal derby with FCSB, which ended 3–3. The following month, FCSB reportedly made several bids for the transfer of the midfielder—Dinamo however rejected each offer and proceeded in contract extension talks. Nistor registered 13 assists across the 2018–19 league season, the most for a player in the last ten years, and was selected by Liga Profesionistă de Fotbal in the best team of the campaign.

Nistor moved to CFR Cluj on 10 July 2017 in a swap deal which took Filipe Nascimento in the opposite direction. Under the management of Dan Petrescu, he played 18 games across all competitions without scoring.

On 31 August 2016, Nistor agreed to a two-year deal with fellow league team Dinamo București. On 20 May 2017, he won his first career trophy after "the Red Dogs" came victorious 2–0 in the Cupa Ligii final against ACS Poli Timișoara.

On 22 January 2014, Nistor was sent on loan to his former team Pandurii Târgu Jiu for a period of five months, which was later extended for another season. In the summer of 2015, he joined the Alb-albaștrii as a free agent.

Nistor made his senior international debut for Romania in 2013.

He made 35 appearances and netted six goals all competition comprised in the 2012–13 season, as Pandurii finished second in the Liga I and subsequently qualified for the UEFA Europa League. Nistor made his debut in that competition on 16 July 2013, in a 0–0 away draw with Levadia Tallinn for the second qualifying round. His team went further after 4–0 on aggregate and he recorded his first European goal in a 1–1 draw against Hapoel Tel Aviv, on 1 August.

In August 2013, amid interest from FC Steaua București, CFR Cluj and Málaga, Nistor was transferred by French club Evian for a rumoured fee of €800,000. He failed to establish himself as a starter for Les Roses, and only played six matches in the Ligue 1 during the first half of the 2013–14 campaign. As a result, Nistor made a controversial statement about Evian's staff, saying that he did not play more because of his nationality.

On 4 June 2013, Nistor made his international debut for the Romania national team in a 4–0 victory over Trinidad and Tobago at the Arena Națională in Bucharest, after having previously played in two unofficial friendlies for the nation against Belgium and Poland respectively.

He has been married since June 2013, with fellow footballer Mihai Pintilii acting as best man. His spouse Cosmina gave birth to a son in April 2017.

In February 2012, Nistor was caught driving an Audi A5 without a license and fined accordingly.

Nistor signed a four-year contract with Pandurii Târgu Jiu in the summer of 2010. He played his first match in the top division on 23 July that year, featuring the full 90 minutes in a goalless draw with Unirea Urziceni. On 10 April 2011, he scored his first Liga I goal in a 4–2 home victory over Victoria Brănești.

He appeared in over 100 matches for Pandurii Târgu Jiu between 2010 and 2013, recording his European competitions debut and earning a transfer abroad to Evian in the latter year. Nistor was used sparingly in France and soon returned to Pandurii, after which he spent the remaining part of his career with local clubs Dinamo București, CFR Cluj and Universitatea Craiova.

After his first season at Internațional in the third league, he was loaned to Muscelul Câmpulung and Dacia Mioveni respectively. On his return to Curtea de Argeș in 2010, Nistor had hoped he would make his Liga I debut, but the team withdrew from the championship due to financial issues.

Nistor did not play football at junior level, but in 2005 joined local AS Rucăr in the lower leagues. Around two years later, during a match against the reserves of Argeș Pitești, he impressed Internațional Curtea de Argeș owner Benone Lazăr who was in the attendance. Nistor was transferred to the latter club at the cost of seven football balls.

Dan Nicolae Nistor (born 6 May 1988) is a Romanian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for CS Universitatea Craiova and the Romania national team.
