All rights to this production belong to Nat Geo. I respect their creative property, but this video isn't able to be viewed by the public in its purest form. The DVD was produced in limited numbers and isn't in production any longer. I upload this with respect to Nat Geo as I feel this should be able to be seen by the world, as it is truly a fantastic documentary. (Incorrect exhaust note aside.)
I am NOT monetizing this video, any ads seen following or prior to this video are placed by "KZfaq" and I have no control over this.
I upload this for all GT-R fans to enjoy in its purest form. I up sampled to 1080p and corrected visuals and removed distracting foreign subtitles. Any tearing or visual effects are all original to the production. I went to great lengths to track down this documentary (2 Years) and make the corresponding updates to share to the world.
NAT GEO PLEASE DON'T STRIKE MY ACCOUNT. I love this video and I want the world to see it.

I wish I could afford one. I’m most struck by the number of times the Nissan employees used the word “customer.” They really bought into the focus: “make the best car for the customer” and not “make the best car.” That’s a significant difference. Others may make fast, but uncomfortable, cars that you can barely climb into. I respect what Nissan did here.

@@Mikey6048Go drive them all and you'll see why. The R35 is a driving appliance. It takes much of the skill out of the equation. Your mother could get in it and drive it fast! maybe that's the point....I've owned the R34 GTR and an R35 at the same time. I drove, and pushed them both all the time. The R34 was exciting, and fun, yet could be a calm daily driver. The R35 felt like a Maxima that was stupid fast. In other words, boring. If I were to own another, I'd get an R32. It has almost the same drive train as an R34, but it's significantly lighter and by far the most fun to drive. I guess this is kind of happening to most cars nowadays unfortunately..... One of the reasons older cars are going through the roof in value. The 35 is a great car, but "the best GTR" is debatable.

Every successful car company should do this at least once per generation: take a handful of your best, most passionate people and set them to designing the very best car they possibly can, with no worry over cost. Even if they can't sell the finished product at a profit, all the parts and systems that get improved in the process will more than make up it over time.
