Used Nissan GT-R Towbar

The Nissan GT-R (R35 generation, 2007 onwards) was never factory-fitted with a towbar, and no manufacturer offered an approved towing setup for it — the chassis, rear bumper structure, and warranty terms all make towing incompatible with this car. This isn't a case of a rare option you've missed; towbars simply don't exist for the GT-R as a genuine OEM or recognised aftermarket fitment. If you've seen one listed, we'd strongly recommend questioning its provenance before buying.

Customers sometimes search for towbar when they mean a rear tow eye, tow eye cover, or recovery point — all of which do exist on the GT-R and are available through breakers. Others searching for trailer or load-carrying solutions may be looking at GT-R accessories in error and actually need a different vehicle entirely. Let a breaker know what you're ultimately trying to achieve and they can point you in the right direction.

Yes — the GT-R does have a screw-in tow eye for emergency recovery use, and the tow eye cover in the rear bumper is a part breakers do stock, as it's commonly cracked or lost. These are the closest real parts to a 'towing' component on this car, and fitment is straightforward across the R35 generation. If either of these is what you need, quote your registration to the breaker to confirm the exact cover colour and finish for your spec.

For the tow eye cover and screw-in recovery eye, trim level makes no difference — all UK GT-R variants used the same basic setup regardless of whether the car is a standard GT-R, Track Edition, or NISMO spec. Colour and finish of the bumper insert may differ between specs, so mention your trim to the breaker so they can match the cosmetics correctly. Fitment of the functional part itself is unaffected by trim.

No — there is no towbar from any other Nissan model that would be compatible with the GT-R, as the GT-R's rear end was never engineered with towing mounts or a compatible subframe attachment point for a towbar. Attempting to adapt a towbar from another vehicle would be structurally unsafe and almost certainly uninsurable. The GT-R is not a car that can be made into a towing vehicle using parts from the used-parts market.
