2008 Nissan GT-R: See It Being Built

Wednesday, December 05, 2007 | 2 comments » Categories | , , , | Bookmark and Share


Here’s a video showing scenes from the 2008 GT-R assembly at Nissan's Tochigi factory in Japan, which also builds Infiniti models. Nissan designed an entirely new production system for the GT-R that benefits from production procedures that include higher precision tolerance control for all body parts and the use of specially designed precision machine tools. Interestingly, much of the Nissan GT-R's assembly is done by hand. -Continued after the jump

Once the car is built, each GT-R is conducted a break-in drive before shipping in addition to its regular inspections, so the very earliest use of the brakes, transmission and suspension will be smooth for the customer.

    That's great!

    Right now I drive a Porsche and ordered it 6 months in advance. I totally thought they should put web-cams in the factory so I could watch it going down the line.

    Cool video!

    Also, cool car :)

    Hey sports car guys and gals. Remember the Datsun 2000 Roadster? How about the first Z-car? If these names remind you of the good old days (before radar traps) then you must see the new GT-R. This video should be in a commercial. Nissan is back on top!
