After assembly, on the Dyno, the car does not appear to be strapped down?
Can this be a safe practice?

Cool

"It takes one of Nissan's technicians 200 minutes from start to finish to build the GT-R's V6. "

"If production needs to be increased, Nissan says it will add more workers rather than quicken the assembly time of the GT-R's engine."

"The cylinder bores of the VR38 are sprayed with a 0.15mm layer of plasma to assure a good seal for the piston rings." uhhh wut?? no wonder they have such a high tolerance for high boost...this is the sealing secret...
