Has anyone ever got to see the Z on the production line in Japan? It would be kinda cool to see it through all the steps it takes. Maybe someday I can take a trip to see it (if they let people watch). Nissan should make a video. Just thought I'd share my curiosity.

Over the last couple of years, I can recall two or three guys posting that they had taken the factory tour while over in Japan. I sure with a little digging you might find them, or if they're still on the board they'll post a link back to the threads.

 

I did the tour at Oppama in October 2002 with friends from the Z Club of Texas. (Production has since shifted to Tochigi.) It really was impressive. We met with the plant manager beforehand and then the lead QC manager took us to each station.
At the end we were taken to a secluded area to see the new Roadsters before any were known to be around. I decided right then to buy one for my wife.
The plant manager was made aware of the order for my wife's car, and made sure everything went well along the way. We even received a letter wishing us well and pictures of the car before it was loaded on the transport ship (with the plant manager and QC manager in the pic with her Roadster).
Nice people!

Wow that would indeed be a neat thing to see.

There is a post out there somewhere related to these with an awesome aerial
view of the plant. I didn't spot it imediately. Used it for wallpaper for awhile.

 

Wonder if you could see it with Google Earth?

 

I tried a while back and couldn't find it. Plus if I remember correctly there is not much hi-res images available in that area of Japan. Someone share if you can find it!
