Takumi: The Master Craftsmen behind Nissan GT-R

On every GT-R engine, the seal of its master-craftsman builder is applied; here is their story.

[@kamiliwanski6638]

You may not like the styling of japanese cars, the technology they use. But one thing is sure - RESPECT to those guys working for these companies as they show true passion :) They're simply the best engineers

[@YZFMANIAC08]

Kamil Iwański tell that do all the owners of a GTR’s with raped gearboxes lol

[@paul1e]

they does some work that no jews cant do

[@MuffinMan0521]

None of these technicians are engineers. They are simply skilled assemblers. It's a bit sad these these guys are the hero's of the engine/car when in reality the team of people who are designing all of these components to work together, choosing materials and the people who design the tooling to create all of this stuff are the real heros.

[@rotarurazvan8792]

I do also respect Japanese people and their cars,are UNIC.

[@romoman9965]

Pride and craftsmanship gets you respect. Well-earned takumi.

[@dnshift1]

My GT-R engine handmade by Izumi Shioya one of the 4 awesome Master Craftsmen. This is the Heart of the GT-R Sugoi!

[@NotAud]

Izumi hand-built my GT-R's beautiful engine. Thank you, sir. You've given me more joy than you ever thought you could!

[@yamilz32]

WTF man. I felt proud behind this video. Really felt it! This guys love what they do!

[@MTran0708]

Almost 10 years since the first GTR, still the best!

[@AllanJax]

MTran0708 way more than 10 years.

[@DGKChoice]

breezy_a " technically" hes right. They ditched the skyline and just went with GTR in 07. But the first skyline GTRs were in the late 60s early 70s.

[@user-mc3ik5rp7v]

10 years that it has only been called as GT-R only. The Nissan Skyline GT-R goes back decades

[@nihonkokusai]

After 10years still driving mine thanks to them.

Japan is an inspiration to all.

Reading the Japanese Name alone, or the words "Made in Japan", is the indication of super quality product.

The car once you bought you pass on for generations..feels like the vibe of those Harikontsu sword lol

My Father had Driven 10+ Japanese Car's in his Lifetime. That includes Toyota, Nissan, Dataun etc. during 1980's & 1990's. My Father's Favorite Sports Cars from Nissan was Nissan GT-R R34 Nismo Edition. But My Father died on 5th June, 2020 due to Renal Disease. My Father died but left his Cars on Earth. Even I Love Nissan GT-R R35 & I want to Drive Nissan GT-R R35 & which is My Dream Sports Car. Japanese Car's are the most Reliable Car's in the world. Nissan GT-R R35 is one of the Masterpiece in the Japanese Automotive Industry. Japan 🇯🇵 has Great Car's & Great Engineers as well. Salute 4 Sir's from Bangladesh 🇧🇩. Greetings from Bangladesh 🇧🇩.

[@SR_KSERIES]

Lucky, you know your signatures are on engine permanently. Something to be proud of doing.

[@battlecruiserna]

If I had the money to buy a nice car, I'd buy one knowing it was built with love and care. Like mom's cooking.

[@marryhouse1983]

クリンルームの響きに萌える。この匠の技は技術的な面とあるaestheticな面がある上から、技術を継ぐ難易度よりも、審美的な面とはどんなものなのか。そしてユーザーは何を重視するか。の問いが残る。

[@TheRazvan75]

I am a fan of GTR in Romania. You are the best in cars. I would love to see a live engine as it is built. What I would love to drive a GTR car.

[@ousmanfadera6386]

Great, credible, amazing and professionalism indeed. I am a Gambian National, pursued studies on Automotive Engineering at then Gambia Technical Training Institution (G.T.T.I), now the University of Apply Science, Engineering and Technology (USET), in collaboration with City and Guilds Institute in the years 1998-2001.

Truly a game changing car.

[@teemzzz1]

[@scottriley9398]

I wonder if one of the craftsman’s engines are cranking out more horsepower or are more reliable than the others.

[@devilmaycry383]

Superior craftsmanship Nissan makes elegant beautifully design cars the GT-R is a Legend and a dream car of mine. I'm am looking forward to spending my time over in Japan soon can't wait.

[@wendidrew7374]

I wonder what is Japan's equivalent of Knighthood. These master-craftsman deserve that award.

[@dannyshows]

[@donniemarks94]

Love this this is a major reason why the the gtr is such a great car real quality and engineering corvette engines are hand made as well Ferrari and just about any top notch sportscar or supercar.

I wish I can make engines like them.

[@iLykHardsytle]

Hey, serious question. I heard that the GTR's had varying power outputs due to their engine's being hand assembled. But the video states the the engine assemblers work to precision. If that's the case, wouldn't all the engines be exactly the same (like

これはこれでいいけど、日本で売れるクルマ作ったらどうだろうね。 新興国で作ったクルマばかり持ってきて売れないの誰でも分かりますよね。 メルセデスのディーゼルもってきてコンパクトに積んで売ったり、これからでもやりようがある。

[@kamalammar1259]

My gtr handmade from tsunemi ooyama☺️

[@frankcorvino6225]

These guys know what they are doing no doubt, but they are using state of the art assembly tools to assemble an engine that makes just over 500hp. They aren't doing any machining at all, just assembling. My engine builder for my race car does all the machining, balancing and assembly in his home shop. The engine makes close to 1200hp using a single 4bbl carburetor. No overhead cams, no computers. These guys are good, but they are not that good.

[@Aro3o6]

3:01 infinite stratos

[@curatedpixels]

one of these guys need precision engineered dentures...i mean c'mon nissan. are you even paying these guys what they deserve?

[@Mikey6048]

I don't know of any other manufacturer in the same class as the GT-R that hand builds thier motors. One big reason I will take a used GT-R over the new Supra.

[@geoffreytazprice5091]

Only other is AMG, All are hand built except the A35/CLA35's M260 2.0 litre 4cyl Turbo, M276 3.0 litre V6 TT and M256 I6 TT.

And then we see some idiots in America who seem to waste there talent becuase they don't know how tobdrive them. And I'm referring to some of them not all of them so if you drive a gtr skillfully I respect you for that
