Fitment questions
Will an alternator from a 2012 GT-R fit my 2016 GT-R?
The R35 GT-R ran throughout that period using the VR38DETT twin-turbocharged V6, so engine-wise you are working within the same generation (R35, 2007-onwards UK sales). However, Nissan made running changes to ancillary components and mounting points across the R35's production life, so whether the alternator from a 2012 car physically bolts straight onto a 2016 car is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration before buying.
Does the alternator differ between a pre-facelift and post-facelift R35 GT-R?
The R35 GT-R received a significant facelift in 2011 and further updates around 2016, and while the VR38DETT engine carried through all versions, ancillary components including the alternator can change across those boundaries. Name the facelift year to the breaker and give them your registration or engine code so they can cross-reference against what they have before you commit.
Does the GT-R trim level affect which alternator I need?
The GT-R is sold in the UK in variants such as Premium Edition, Track Edition, and Nismo, but trim level does not affect which alternator you need — the engine is the same VR38DETT across all of them. The differences between those trim levels are in interior specification, suspension tuning, and exterior styling, none of which change the charging system, so you do not need to match trim when sourcing a used alternator.
Do I need to worry about ECU coding when fitting a used alternator to my GT-R?
Whether the alternator needs to be paired or coded to the GT-R's ECU or immobiliser system is something you must confirm with the breaker and ideally your Nissan specialist before fitting — we cannot state this as fact for your specific car. Provide your registration number when getting a quote so the breaker can advise based on what they know about that production year.
What engine code should I give the breaker when asking for a GT-R alternator?
The engine code is the single most useful detail you can supply — for the R35 GT-R this is the VR38DETT, but you should verify the exact code from your V5C or a VIN check rather than relying solely on the badge. Giving the breaker your registration alongside the engine code lets them confirm the correct alternator for your car's specific build date and specification.
Can I use an alternator from a Japanese-import R35 GT-R on my UK-spec car?
The VR38DETT engine is the same unit in both Japanese domestic market and UK-spec R35 GT-Rs, so the starting point is shared, but there can be differences in ancillary specifications and electrical components between markets. Confirm this with the breaker against both your registration and the donor car's origin before purchasing, as fitment cannot be guaranteed without that cross-reference.
