Cheap Nissan GT-R Gearbox Mount

Yes, the GT-R (R35 generation, 2009 onwards in the UK) does have a gearbox mount — but it is worth understanding the layout: the GT-R uses a transaxle arrangement where the gearbox sits at the rear of the car alongside the rear differential, rather than directly behind the engine. This means the mounting points and the mount itself are specific to that rear-mounted dual-clutch transaxle unit. When searching, make sure you and your breaker are referring to the transaxle/gearbox mount at the rear, not a conventional front-mounted gearbox mount.

The R35 GT-R ran as a single generation from 2009 onwards, with notable updates in 2011 and 2014, but the fundamental VR38DETT engine and rear-mounted dual-clutch transaxle layout remained consistent throughout. For a mounting component like this, fitment across those update years is plausible, but whether ancillary mounting brackets or rubbers changed at those facelift points is something you should confirm with the breaker against your registration number, as mid-production changes can be subtle. Give the breaker your engine code (VR38DETT is standard across all R35s, but always verify on your V5 or a VIN check) and your exact model year for the best match.

For a mechanical mounting component like the gearbox mount, trim level does not affect fitment — the Premium, Track Edition, and Nismo variants all share the same rear transaxle arrangement on the R35 platform. The Nismo does have some powertrain tuning differences, so it is worth telling the breaker which variant you have, but the mount itself should not differ by trim. What may differ cosmetically is the condition or specification of surrounding components on a Nismo-sourced part, but the mount's function and fitment should be equivalent.

The R35 GT-R's rear transaxle unit typically has more than one mounting point securing it to the subframe and body, so there may be more than one mount or bracket involved in the assembly. When contacting a breaker, specify whether you need the full mounting kit or a specific individual mount, and describe where on the transaxle the worn or damaged mount is located if you can. Providing your registration alongside the VR38DETT engine code will help the breaker pull the right part from their dismantled car.

The R35 GT-R was sold in Japan from 2007, meaning Japanese domestic market (JDM) cars pre-date the UK's 2009 introduction, and very early JDM examples may have differences in the transaxle assembly compared to later UK-spec cars. The core layout is the same, but whether early JDM mounts interchange directly with later UK-spec cars is something to confirm with the breaker against both registrations. Give the breaker your full VIN and engine code, and ask them to cross-reference the donor car's spec before buying.
