Here is the production line of the new GT-R as it is being built. I wish I had their jobs for just one day.

Damn cool to see them still pretty much making them by hand! The more I see that car, the more I love it. I'd rep you for the video, but it says I have to spread some love hah.

It's awesome right. It's funny watching those guys just building such an awesome car like it's their job (which it is) but picture me, or Nick or yourself. I know I'd get bugger all work done.

Pretty friggin cool. But is anyone else surprised that the put the hood on so early?

Not really. Most cars with metal hoods are built like that so the whole thing goes through the paint booth at the same time. You'll notice the only exterior parts that aren't on the car at that point are the plastic parts. They go through a separate paint process.

Yeah, totally amazed how much was being done by hand, as to bodywork etc on a brand new Nissan! Very cool stuff, so see anything in that body we can start hacking up to save weight?

Watch Ultimate Factories: BMW on the National Geographic channel. They do the same kind of stuff for a Z4.

Just don't watch the Z06 factory one, it was embarrassing.

That was awesome! Great find Scotty.

Id love to get one if I had the money

Can you say best job ever! I dont care what it pays, you get to build, drive, and work on the new GT-R's all day long. Hell, I wouldnt even go home.

you'd see half built GT-R's flogging around Japan.

I seen this video before, I was also surprised by all the hand work on them. I know the engines are all hand built, didn't realize so much went into the body etc.

Some more GT-R tid bits

Mine's and HKS already have their GT-R's and are busy modding.

Apparently the GT-R, totally stock, around the Tsukuba race track...again beat the z06 time. This track doesnt not fair well for high powered cars though, but still impressive nonetheless.

Also, back to the 'ring. Famous driver Horst von Saurma from the magazine sport auto drove the GT-R around the 'ring and did a 7:50 on a partially wet track. Stock tyres.

they left out the most interesting part of the process with the engine and drivetrain transplant

alot of installation by hand
impressed
