Choosing the right used Nissan Skyline crankshaft
Used crankshafts 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:
- State whether it's petrol or diesel
- State the engine code if known

Fitment questions
Does a crankshaft from an R33 Skyline fit an R32 Skyline?
The R32 Skyline (1989–1994) and R33 Skyline (1993–1998) share the RB engine family, but the crankshaft dimensions and bearing specifications differ between generations, so a straight swap is not guaranteed even on the same engine code designation. Your safest starting point is to confirm the full engine code from your V5 or a VIN check and supply it to the breaker, who can cross-reference the part numbers. Never assume generation compatibility without that verification.
Will an RB20 crankshaft interchange with an RB25 crankshaft in a Skyline?
No — the RB20 and RB25 are different displacement engines with different stroke lengths, meaning their crankshafts are not interchangeable. The engine code stamped on your block (typically found on the V5 or confirmed via a VIN check) is the single most important detail to give the breaker when sourcing a used crankshaft. Always match crankshaft to engine code, not just to the Skyline badge or generation name.
Does it matter whether my Skyline is a GT or GT-R when buying a used crankshaft?
Trim level does not directly determine crankshaft fitment — what matters is the engine code, since the GT-R uses the RB26DETT while GT variants used engines such as the RB20DE, RB20DET, RB25DE, or RB25DET depending on year and market. If your car carries a GT-R engine code (RB26DETT), you need a crankshaft matched to that code specifically, not simply any Skyline crankshaft. Supply your engine code to the breaker rather than relying on trim name alone.
Does the gearbox type — manual or automatic — affect which crankshaft I need?
No, the crankshaft itself is internal to the engine and is not affected by whether the car has a manual or automatic gearbox. Fitment is determined by engine code, displacement, and fuel type. Focus your search on matching the engine code from your V5.
Can I fit a crankshaft from a turbocharged RB25DET into a naturally aspirated RB25DE Skyline?
Both the RB25DE and RB25DET share the same basic engine architecture and the same stroke, so the crankshafts are often considered compatible in principle — however, confirm this against your specific registration with the breaker, as there can be ancillary and specification changes across production years that affect which components transfer cleanly. The engine code on your V5 is the key detail to supply when requesting a quote.
Does a crankshaft from an R34 Skyline (1998–2002) fit an R33 Skyline (1993–1998)?
The R33 and R34 Skyline generations span a production boundary from 1998, and while both can carry RB25 or RB26 family engines, whether a crankshaft crosses that generational boundary depends on the specific engine codes on each car. Name the engine codes from both vehicles when speaking to the breaker, and ask them to verify part numbers before purchasing — never assume fitment across a generation change without that check.
