Fitment questions
Does the Nissan Skyline actually have a bonnet strut, or does it use a bonnet prop rod?
The Nissan Skyline does not use gas-assisted bonnet struts — it uses a traditional metal prop rod to hold the bonnet open. This means there is no bonnet strut to source for this vehicle, so if you are looking to keep your bonnet propped safely, you need a bonnet stay rod rather than a gas strut.
I searched for a Skyline bonnet strut but can't find any listings — am I searching for the wrong thing?
Yes, almost certainly — the Skyline (across all generations including the R32, R33, and R34) uses a hinged metal stay rod, not a gas strut, to support the bonnet. Search for 'Nissan Skyline bonnet stay' or 'bonnet prop rod' and you should find the correct part from a breaker. If a seller is listing a 'bonnet strut' for a Skyline, confirm with the breaker exactly what they are describing before buying.
Could a bonnet gas strut from another Nissan model fit my Skyline?
No — because the Skyline was never designed to use a gas bonnet strut, there is no mounting point or mechanism on the bonnet or body to accept one. Fitting a gas strut would require fabrication and is not a like-for-like used-parts swap. The correct replacement is the bonnet stay rod specific to your Skyline generation (R32, R33, or R34).
What part do I actually need to stop my Skyline bonnet from falling down?
You need the bonnet stay rod — a simple hinged metal arm that clips into a hole in the bonnet to prop it open. These are generation-specific (R32, R33, R34 are all different), so make sure you tell the breaker which generation you have. They are straightforward used parts and most breakers dismantling Skylines should be able to supply one.
