- 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.

So that's how you make your own monster.
The amount of precision and craftsmanship put into this thing makes me want one more then anything. Owning one of these would mean more to me then a Ferrari or Lambo any day.
Mr. Carlos Ghosn, thank you very much, for constructing this wonderful car GT-R 35, really is the best car that we have today, as much for the low value and the excellent quality and performance.!!!!!
If somebody that works at that shop EVER doubts his/her work or thing that his/her day sucks, i want you to remember this you guys are building dreams. That is my ABSOLUT dreamcar and it wouldn't been possible wihout you guys.
The Yokohama Plant has produced over 35 million engines since 1935. AMAZING!!!
Whoa I never expected the GT-R's pistons to be that big. That is one cool V6. Nissan shows the world that the number of pistons don't matter but the concept of the car
Great stuff. No mass production, every single engine is unique. I pay tribute to all people working at that factory
watching stuff like this when ur stoned makes it 1000x more fascinating...
They are fixed vane, but integration into the exhaust housing and relatively small size gives us fast spool up, so there is never a lag. Also we're using very good quality IHI turbos, and we have a scavenging oil pump that scavenges oil from the turbo bearing area. I believe this relieves oil pressure around the bearings, allowing the turbo to spool faster.
Absolutely awesome workmanship.
Great scenes very helpful for training
Maters
the best engine!!
Each person is responsible for the assembly of one engine from start to finish. All parts are checked in the lab's temperature controlled environment, many with tolerances in the order of a few microns, before they are staged for assembly. Room temperature is controlled to within +/-1 degree to ensure that no part expands or contracts during assembly. Dirt and other contaminants are kept to a strict minimum. This may be one of the most precisely assembled automotive engines in the world.
Fascinating. Though not the first time I got to see this kind of engine assembly facility (first one I got to see was that of Suzuki where they built the engines of their GSX Superbikes; saw it in an epsiode of Beyond 2000 about 10 years ago).
brilliant! qualifications aside, this is every boy's dream job: the natural progression from lego blocks and erector sets :)
Just saw GT-R in singapore today.. amazing car .. with amazing spec ...
i like the EJ25 very much especially with sleeves
@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.
"GT-R, number 1"
That is an awesome job!
I need that engine in my golfcart !
Masterpiece.
480 bhp, but someone said that a stock GT R may have even more since engine are handmade. I love that car.
actually they use a modified drill. Impact guns have a chance of threading so they use a drill with a modified socket end to a point then they must hand tighten each bolt to the required specs. Pretty much looks the same and u cant really tell from this video.
what a masterpiece
@Birmo08030 He did say that it was done in a hometically sealed area of the factory in the Fuji Speedway test. I thought that he was talking nonsense but when I purchased my GTR, I realised, he wasn't.
I also like the Japanese respect for perfection & "first time, every time" policy. In that video, not a single process of the engines assembly was rushed in anyway, yes the demand is high for the GTR & it needs to reach the customers. I like the good spirited approach in the way they work too.
GTR number one!! It would be epic to go work for nissan in Japan.
@Soloistfromhell You are right, but at one point, they did use an electric impact wrench.
Japanese engineers... ....GENIUS
Pricing of the 2009 Nissan GT-R-- $69,850 for the Base model and $71,900 for the Premium model, which adds a standard Bose® audio system, heated seats and side air bags.
Renault is an awesome car company. The VQ nissan v-6 was co-designed with Renault. Nissan used their experience from performance turbocharged engines, while Renault brought the stronger, yet equally smooth timing chain design. Just an awesome example of two seperate companies from seperate parts of the automotive world working together to make awesome advancements in engine technogoly!
I still can't believe they did away with that beautiful performing inline 6.
GTRR... Numbaa 1! Awesome.
The proof of how powerful the GT-R is, the video showing the GT-R's engine assembly has over 380,000 views!
He does preliminary tightening with an electric drill, and then torques the fasteners with a special torque gun connected to a computer.
Nice V6 too, 588nm and 473 bhp.... With twin turbo very nice!!!
GTR been number one since 1989 and the Nissan Skyline GT-R R32!
@racingisfun yeahh they made some sohc v6's in some real old school rides am i right? the best V6 they ever made in my opinion, was the VG30DETT, friggin sounds awesome with a decent exhaust.
It allows us to put more weight behind the front axle, this is the way we achieve our "mid-ship" platform designs. So better balance comment is accurate.
@Soloistfromhell Yeah they don't know, but they skipped part of the video..he only uses the electric drill to get the bolts in, then uses a computer controlled torque wrench. Gr from a mechanic, the netherlands.
its not just that its that they love the car im a nissan fanboy and i know lots of stuff and i know i will own one someday
Best Engine in the world!!!!
i couldn't stop drooling
and some day i will be tuning up this engine. and general maintainance and or changing a component.soon
it's not a usual timing chain! it's a bosch designed multi-piece timing chain, i forgot the name, but it's awfully reliable and lightweight
it's good to see them working at the realistic pace, fast.
Everytime they show a ferrari or Lambo engine assembly, they work so damn slow for the camera. And when they build the engine normally, you know they're bustin their ass to meet production numbers.
they are building automotive history
It's for sure a electric drill with a socket and NOT an impact wrench. Whoever is keeping saying this does really need to go Tech. school before commenting bs!
Probably 10yrs old kids.
that would be a great job
our human bodies are like a car. The engine is the heart, the ECU is the brain and our arms and legs are the drivetrain. weird way to look at it but it's interesting.
yes
yes.. it's VR and VQ
The engine found in the GT-R is not being sold to Hyundai, nor used in any of their vehicles.
That engine is 100% made with magnetic enhanced charged allow metal for less vibration force against each part making it a huge magnetized engine box kept secret: I think?
I think every body is wrong. You should say that the Nissan GTR is the best car ever made.
Look at the price and look at the performance. The best deal ever!!!
GTR # 1!!!
my dream car
thats was so cool :D
Hi Giga, I just took deliver on a GTR. It's amazing! I did not buy it to resale. I did have to sign an agreement that I would not sell it overseas for two years and that if I broke the tranny using the LC, it would void the warrantee. I met a schmuck last weekend who blew up his tranny buy using LC thirty times in a row! Dump the clutch at 4,500 rpm in any car 30 times in a row and you will do damage. Nissan doesn't want to pay 20K for every moron who uses the GTR as a drag car.
engine of the year 2009
not only about weight. Theoretically the best cylinder configuration is straight 6 and then v8. V8`ll last much longer than v6 and it`s not only about performance.
@TherionxwDx sort of but i just cant believe they went from Straight 6 to V6
A V6 with twin turbo chargers can put out similar performance that a V8 would. The V6 is also lighter and can allow for the lower 3.8 liter displacement to have greater compression than if it were a 4.0l V8. The V6 works and I see no reason in changing the trend.
@lildomplaya2 yeah, harmonically an inline six runs better, but i think they wanted a V for the weight distribution to be pushed back. I don't know, but i do know that it is a seriously quick car, so they must have done something right. lol
Plasma Coated cylinder walls is what ive read. Not sure what plasma would do. You say 10 times hard than steel! Makes me think the piston rings would have a hard time seating in, or would also be made of some fancy material as well.
i wanna work there!!
Thats how you insert a piston into the cylinder
Typically done with a soft mallet and piston compressor
+1 for handmade engines
@lildomplaya2 theyve been using v6 in the 350gt and 370gt descendants of the 3.0 v6 which arrent even nissans first v6s...
Don't get me wrong, the new gt-r is nice! I just wish it still had the inline 6, nothing like the sound and power that can come out of an RB26DETT
All they were doing with the electric drill was zipping the bolts down so they don't have to wait forever on the torque wrench to tighten then down.
Straight 6 for life.
i wish i got to work there everyday
I'm sure they know what they are doing!
i wish i could work there
Not necessarily. Jeep has a very common 4.0L inline 6 which can be stroked to 4.7L. In fact even Nissan has a TD48 turbo diesel 4.8L inline six. Also if they had stretched the KA24DE out to 6 -yl like the L series block it's bore spacing and water routing was based off of, we would have a 3.6L. Never say never - except when saying "never say never" ;-)
Wish they stuck to the Inline 6's but, doesn't hurt to try sumthin new right?
GTR numbah 1, they got it right.
hmm torquing down the head bolts with a Ryobi cordless drill?
@lildomplaya2: good to know, somebody shares my opinion, i still think, they should have stuck to it, because straigh-6's are a bit more reliable, and run a little smoother (piston syncronisation)... and they make a better noise (although, that's just my 2 cents) :D
completely assemble the engine, takes 100 minutes. thats fast even for a master.
Nissan Rules! Just wondering how long it actually takes to completely assemble the engine?
hell ya boys... GTR no. 1.
what kind of engine is it?
@Soloistfromhell The drill at 1:40 is an electric impact by Craftsman. I use those at Acura to take off tires for rotates. But I'm sure there is a method to their madness. Don't even know why everyone on here has their panties all in a bunch about a car that 90% of the people here can't afford. Just saying.
*Thumbs Up*
V8 engine just for a car go strait in the road probably in US...but GTR build for circuit and road going. much balance in weight distribution.
are they using U.S. made wrnches?
looks similiar to my KL v6 mazda
and my 3vz-fe V6 toyota
all aluminum loking
GT-R ..NUMBA WAH!!!
Wow, true ?
when they said hand built, y0ou know, in the text articles out there, i pictures something FAR LESS assembly-line like and quick
hell these guys are also being filmed, which automatically means they are building it differently [for better or for worse]
what a sleeper a G35 sedan would be with this motor swapped into it.
Imagine if they accidentally put a GT-R engine into an Altima or a Maxima. Oh boy, Wouldn't that be epic. lol
Nice way to torque the head bolts down ha ha
How is being hand-built better than the repetitious precision of a machine? I don't understand how hand-built is a good thing.
how much will the new GTR cost? in Yen, dollars anything?
Lexus and Honda are bringing out supercars to rival the GT-R. Will be interesting to see if they can beat it...Nissan has set the bar very high.
Is it normal to have accumulated drool on my chin during the viewing of this video?
umm... i think the extra 2 pistons would make up for the weight that it makes.... no ?
I would work in this factory for free!
