For those of us who just can't get enough of the Nissan GT-R (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/NissanGTR/), Lou Ann Hammond of Carlist.com recently had a unique chance to learn more about the manufacturing process of the Z06 and 911 Turbo slayer (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/20/porsche-911-turbo-chevrolet-corvette-z06-and-u-s-spec-nissan/) from Nissan's North American product manager, Peter Bedrosian. The resulting video reveals fun facts about the GT-R that you might not have known otherwise. For instance, did you know each GT-R that goes down the line is fine tuned by hand? Or that each body is vibration tested? The last portion of the video also shows extensive footage of twin-turbocharged V6 being carefully assembled by hand. Click the image above to check out the video.
