Nissan GT-R Door Lock Mechanism Replacement Parts

Yes, the Nissan GT-R is a two-door coupé and has a conventional door lock mechanism on each of its two doors, so used units are available from breakers. The GT-R (R35 generation, produced from 2007 onwards) has four doors in total if you count the rear access doors, but it is a 2+2 four-door bodystyle — all four doors carry individual lock mechanisms. When searching or requesting quotes, be clear about which door position you need: nearside (NS, passenger/left) or offside (OS, driver/right), and whether it is a front or rear door.

The Nissan GT-R has been a single generation (R35) throughout its UK production run from 2007 onwards, so there is no generational body change to navigate — the fundamental door structure has remained the same platform. However, Nissan has carried out a number of running changes and updates over the years, and whether a 2009-spec mechanism is a direct, trouble-free swap into a 2016 car is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration number before purchasing. Specify the door position (NS/OS, front/rear) clearly when requesting the quote.

For the door lock mechanism itself, trim level does not affect fitment — the GT-R's door frame and locking hardware are not altered between grades such as the standard car, Premium, Black Edition, or Track Edition. What can differ between trim and special editions is interior door furniture and finishes, but the mechanical lock mechanism behind the door card is the same. Confirm the door position (NS/OS, front/rear) and the year of the donor vehicle with the breaker, and you should be fine regardless of which edition either car is.

In UK convention, nearside (NS) is the left-hand side of the vehicle as you sit in the driver's seat — on a right-hand-drive GT-R that is the passenger side. Offside (OS) is the right-hand, driver's side. Door lock mechanisms are side-specific and also position-specific (front or rear), so make sure you tell the breaker whether you need NS or OS, and front or rear, to get the correct unit.

The R35 GT-R has been produced as one continuous generation from 2007, but Nissan has made periodic revisions to the car over its long production run, and it is not guaranteed that every model year uses an identical mechanism. Name the exact year and registration of your car when contacting a breaker, and ask them to cross-reference the part against your VIN or registration to check compatibility before the part leaves them. This is especially worth doing if the donor car is from a noticeably different model year to your own.

Breakers typically remove and sell the door lock mechanism as a complete assembly including the actuator, which is usually the most practical option for a used-parts replacement. When you request a quote on Findapart, state clearly that you want the full door lock assembly, along with the door position (NS/OS, front/rear) and your vehicle's year, so the breaker can pull the correct unit from a matching or compatible donor car. If you only need a sub-component such as the actuator or barrel, mention that too as some breakers may be able to help with individual parts.
