Nissan GT-R Engine Assembly

Here are some quick scenes from the Nissan Yokohama engine plant's Clean Room. It takes an average of 100 minutes for an engine master to assemble one engine. Each man diligently checks and records the torque spec of every critical nut and bolt, and the data is stored for the life of the engine.

Pleeeaaaaaassseee!!!

First of all They where using an electric drill with a socket, NOT an impact wrench.

Second. How dare you question the competence of these technicians! Do you actually think you know so much about building engines that you correct these people?

Dont make me laugh!

@07350zhr i'd rather visit for a day. it probably sucks to do that everyday, but these technicians are highly trained and hand build Nissan's best engines, so the pay is probably not too bad haha

electric drill ?? ummm im pretty sure that was a CORDLESS IMPACT GUN and not a drill. almost the same, they sure look the same but have different purposes. why the hell would you use a drill? its a impact gun thats got a battery, theyve been around for ages.

@BrianR1982

The head bolts are actually tightened by two state of the art electric nut-runners on a support arm operated manually. You can see a similar arm being used in the background at around 20 seconds.

Wish they stuck to the Inline 6's but, doesn't hurt to try sumthin new right?

[rikuwillkillu]

smokey put a v8 in it

[TherionxwDx]

kinda hard to believe that the r35 has a v6 engine.. i always thought they would make it v8..

[zhammmy]

only takes 100 minutes to assemble this engine? Are you sure?
