Used window motors vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
The Nissan GT-R (R35 generation, 2007 onwards) is a two-door coupe, so it has two front door window motors and two rear door window motors — four in total across the car. When sourcing a used motor, you'll need to specify which door: front or rear, and whether it's the nearside (NS, passenger/left) or offside (OS, driver/right). The GT-R has only ever been produced in this single two-door body style, so there's no door-count variation to worry about on this model.
The R35 GT-R received a significant facelift in 2011 and further updates in subsequent years, and door shell dimensions may differ between revisions, which can affect whether the regulator and motor assembly physically swaps across. You should name the exact year and registration of both vehicles when speaking to the breaker, and ask them to confirm fitment against your specific build date rather than year alone. We'd strongly recommend not assuming early and late R35 motors are interchangeable without that confirmation.
Trim level does not affect window motor fitment on the GT-R — the door construction and glass mechanism are the same regardless of whether you have a standard, Premium, Black Edition, or any other GT-R variant. The main differences between trims are cosmetic, such as interior colour and exterior finishes, none of which affect the motor or regulator. Simply confirm the door position (NS or OS, front or rear) and the year of your car when asking a breaker for a quote.
No — all R35 GT-Rs share the same twin-turbocharged 3.8-litre VR38DETT engine and the same two-door coupe body, so there are no engine variants that would result in different door or window motor configurations. Engine output differences between model years (such as power upgrades over the R35's production run) have no bearing on the window motor. Focus your search on the door position and model year rather than engine specification.
No — window motors are side-specific because the door internals are handed (mirrored) between the driver's side (OS, offside/right) and passenger's side (NS, nearside/left). Always specify NS or OS clearly when requesting a quote from a breaker, as fitting the wrong side is unlikely to work correctly. Front and rear motors should also be treated as separate parts, so confirm both the side and the door position when ordering.
Many GT-Rs in the UK are Japanese domestic market (JDM) imports, and while the fundamental door and window mechanism is essentially the same as European-spec cars, minor differences in specification or build date can occasionally affect part compatibility. It's worth telling the breaker whether your car is a JDM import or a UK/European-spec model when requesting a quote. Confirming against your vehicle's VIN or registration will give the breaker the best chance of matching the correct motor to your car.
