Used Nissan Skyline Coil Spring

Yes, coil springs are fitted to the Nissan Skyline across its generations, including the R32 (1989–1994), R33 (1994–1998), and R34 (1998–2002), on both front and rear axles regardless of whether the car is the GT-S rear-wheel-drive or GT-R four-wheel-drive variant. All of these use coil spring suspension rather than alternative setups, so the part genuinely exists on this model. That said, the R32 GT-R, R33 GT-R, and R34 GT-R use different spring specifications to the non-GT-R variants due to their greater weight and four-wheel-drive hardware, so generation and drivetrain matter when sourcing a used set. Always confirm the exact specification with the breaker against your registration number.

The R32 (1989–1994) and R33 (1994–1998) are distinct generations with different body structures and suspension geometry, so the coil springs are not a straightforward swap between them. Physically, the spring dimensions and rates differ between generations, meaning an R32 spring should not be assumed to fit an R33 without verification. Confirm with the breaker that the part number from the donor car matches your R33's registration and drivetrain before purchasing.

The R33 (1994–1998) and R34 (1998–2002) share some engineering heritage but are separate generations with revised suspension mounting points and geometry, so springs do not automatically interchange across this boundary. Whether specific part numbers overlap between late R33 and early R34 examples is something you should confirm with the breaker against both registrations rather than assume. This is especially important if one car is a GT-R and the other is not, as the four-wheel-drive GT-R variants carry different hardware.

Trim level on its own does not affect coil spring fitment in terms of cosmetics, but the GT-R and GT-S are functionally very different variants rather than just trim levels — the GT-R is four-wheel-drive and significantly heavier, which does affect suspension specification. Within the same drivetrain type (for example, comparing different GT-S variants), trim differences such as interior spec or colour have no bearing on spring fitment. The key things to match are generation (R32, R33, or R34), drivetrain layout (RWD or AWD), and axle position (front or rear), and the breaker can verify the correct part against your registration.

There were various factory and dealer-fitted suspension configurations across the Skyline range, and whether your specific car has a standard or uprated spring rate is something that cannot be confirmed from the model name alone. This is an area where you should confirm with the breaker against your registration number, as sourcing a spring with a mismatched rate could affect handling and ride height. Providing your full registration and ideally the existing spring's part number will give the breaker the best chance of finding the correct match.

Provided the donor car is the same generation (R32, R33, or R34) and the same drivetrain type (RWD GT-S or AWD GT-R), the production year within that generation is generally less critical than the generation boundary itself. However, if there were any mid-generation running changes to suspension specification, that is something to confirm with the breaker rather than assume. When contacting a breaker, give them your registration and the axle position (front or rear) you need, and ask them to verify the part number from the donor car matches your application.
