Fitment questions

Does the Nissan GT-R actually have a water pump?

Yes, every Nissan GT-R (R35 generation, 2009 onwards in the UK) is fitted with a water pump as part of the cooling system for its twin-turbocharged VR38DETT V6 petrol engine. There are no diesel, hybrid, or naturally aspirated variants of the R35 GT-R, so all UK examples share the same basic engine family and all require a water pump. If you have been told otherwise, double-check you are looking at the correct model.

Will a water pump from an early Nissan GT-R (2009-2011) fit a later facelift model?

The R35 GT-R received a significant refresh around 2011 and further updates in 2016, and while the core VR38DETT engine carried through the entire production run, ancillary components and mounting arrangements can vary across these facelifts. You should not assume a pre-facelift water pump automatically crosses into a post-facelift car without checking, so always confirm compatibility with the breaker against your exact registration. Supplying your engine code from the V5 or a VIN check is the most reliable way to get a match.

Does the trim level affect which water pump I need - does a GT-R Premium or Track Edition need a different pump?

Trim level makes no difference to water pump fitment on the GT-R - Premium, Track Edition, Nismo, and any other UK specification all share the same VR38DETT engine and the same fundamental cooling system layout. What matters is the engine code and the model year, not the badge on the back. Focus your search on matching those details rather than the trim name.

My GT-R is a 2016 model - can I use a water pump from a 2014 car?

The 2016 model year sits around the point of the R35 GT-R's most substantial update, which means a 2014 water pump may or may not be a straight swap depending on whether ancillary or mounting details changed at that point in production. Name the boundary to your breaker and ask them to cross-reference both registration numbers before purchasing. Providing your engine code from the V5 gives the breaker the best chance of confirming a correct match.

What details should I give a breaker when searching for a used GT-R water pump?

The single most useful piece of information is your engine code, which you can find on your V5C or through a VIN check - for the R35 GT-R this will be a variant of the VR38DETT, but production tolerances and running changes mean the exact suffix matters. You should also provide your registration number and model year so the breaker can cross-reference their stock accurately. Trim level and colour are irrelevant for this part, so there is no need to mention them.

Are there any GT-R variants that did not get a water pump at all?

No - every UK-sold Nissan GT-R is the R35 generation with the twin-turbocharged VR38DETT petrol engine, and all of them use a water pump as part of the liquid cooling system. There were no front-wheel-drive, diesel, or air-cooled variants sold here that would change that picture. Every GT-R you are likely to encounter through a UK breaker will have had one fitted from new.
