Nissan GT-R Ignition Switch Replacement Parts

The R35 Nissan GT-R, sold in the UK from 2009 onwards, uses a push-button ignition system rather than a traditional key-operated ignition switch. There is no rotary ignition switch barrel or lock cylinder on this car, so if you are searching for an ignition switch in the conventional sense, this part does not exist on the GT-R. What you are most likely looking for is the start/stop button assembly, the steering column lock module, or possibly the ECU immobiliser system.

Because the R35 GT-R has a keyless push-button start, there is no traditional ignition switch to fail. The symptoms you might associate with a faulty ignition switch on other cars - such as no crank, no power to accessories, or intermittent starting - are more likely caused by the intelligent key (I-Key) unit, the push-button start assembly, the BCM (body control module), or the steering lock actuator on a GT-R. Ask your breaker specifically for the start button assembly or the intelligent key receiver unit rather than an ignition switch.

There is no traditional ignition switch on any year of the R35 GT-R, so there is nothing to cross-reference between model years in this way. If you need a push-button start assembly or related starting system component, the R35 GT-R ran from 2009 with updates and facelifts over the years, and compatibility of electronic components like the start button or BCM across those updates is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration. Do not assume any electronic starting component is a straight swap without checking with the breaker first.

All R35 GT-R variants sold in the UK, including the Premium Edition, Track Edition, and Nismo, share the same push-button keyless start system, so trim level does not introduce a traditional ignition switch on any version. However, electronic modules tied to the starting and security system may have different calibrations or part numbers across trim levels and model year updates, so confirm the exact part number with the breaker against your registration. Trim level does not change the fundamental absence of a rotary ignition switch on this car.

It is very likely a mislabelled or miscategorised listing, since the R35 GT-R has never been fitted with a traditional rotary ignition switch. The breaker may be listing a push-button start assembly, an intelligent key unit, or a steering lock component under the wrong part name. It is worth contacting the breaker directly to clarify exactly what the physical part is before purchasing, so you can confirm it matches what your car actually needs.
