Fitment on a used egr valve varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
No — the Nissan GT-R (R35, 2009-onwards in the UK) is powered exclusively by the twin-turbocharged 3.8-litre V6 petrol engine (VR38DETT), and petrol performance engines of this type are not fitted with EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valves; EGR systems are associated with diesel engines and some lower-output petrol engines where emissions tuning demands them, but not high-output, track-focused petrol units like the VR38DETT. If you are searching for an EGR valve for your GT-R, it is likely you may be looking for a different part entirely.
Almost certainly, yes — no variant of the R35 Nissan GT-R sold in the UK was ever fitted with an EGR valve, so a quote for one is likely the result of a cataloguing error or a mix-up with a different vehicle. It is worth going back to the breaker and double-checking the part you actually need, describing the symptom or system you are trying to fix. If you are chasing an emissions or exhaust-related fault, the part you need is more likely to be something like a lambda sensor, catalytic converter, or a turbo-related component.
The GT-R's VR38DETT engine uses a twin-turbo exhaust system with catalytic converters, oxygen (lambda) sensors, and associated heat shielding — none of which include an EGR valve. If you have a fault code pointing to exhaust gas flow or emissions, the most likely culprits on this engine are a lambda/O2 sensor, a faulty turbocharger, or a catalytic converter issue; confirm the exact part against your registration with a breaker, particularly for catalytic converter specifics, as interchange details are strong confirm-with-breaker territory. Describing your fault code or symptom to the breaker will help them identify the correct used part from a GT-R donor car.
Yes, year does matter for exhaust and emissions components on the R35 GT-R, because Nissan updated the engine and exhaust systems across the model's life — with revisions arriving around the 2012 facelift and again with later updates — meaning parts from significantly different model years may not be a direct swap. Engine code and build year are the key details to match, and you should always confirm compatibility with the breaker against your specific registration rather than assuming all R35 years are interchangeable. Trim level (such as Pure, Premium, Track Edition, or NISMO) does not affect which exhaust components were fitted, so focus on the year and engine specification instead.
