Second Hand Nissan Skyline Gearbox Mount

Yes, all Nissan Skyline variants have a gearbox mount — it is a standard component that supports the transmission casing against the subframe or crossmember. Whether you have the R32, R33, or R34 generation, and whether your car is RWD or ATTESA four-wheel drive, a gearbox mount will be present. The exact bracket and rubber bush design can differ between generations and between the standard RB engines and the twin-turbo GT-R variants, so knowing your generation and engine code is important before ordering.

The R32 (1989–1994) and R33 (1993–1998) Skylines are distinct generations with different subframe and transmission tunnel geometry, so the mounts are not a straightforward swap. Even where the RB engine family carries across, the surrounding mounting points and bracket profiles changed between generations. Name the generation boundary to a breaker and ask them to cross-reference your engine code and registration before purchasing — never assume cross-generation fitment without confirmation.

The R34 (1998–2002) is a separate generation from the R33 (1993–1998), and while both generations used RB-series engines, gearbox mounting arrangements and subframe designs were revised. A mount from an R34 should not be assumed to fit an R33 without verification, even if the engine codes appear similar. Confirm with a breaker against your specific registration and engine code before buying a used mount across this generation boundary.

Yes, engine code is the single most important detail here, because different engines paired with different gearbox units (for example the RB26DETT GT-R paired with the GETRAG unit versus the RB25DET in GTS-T models) can use different mounting configurations. Always check your engine code — found on your V5C or via a VIN check — and supply it to the breaker alongside your generation. Do not rely on the badge name alone, as the same generation Skyline was sold with several different engine and gearbox combinations.

Trim level itself is not what changes the mount — it is the engine and gearbox combination that follows from that trim which matters. A GTS-T with the RB25DET and a GT-R with the RB26DETT use different gearboxes and will have different mounting requirements, but this is because of the mechanical drivetrain, not the trim name as such. Confirm your engine code and gearbox type with the breaker, and the trim name will naturally point them toward the right combination.

There were revisions to various mounting and ancillary components across the production runs of the R32, R33, and R34 generations, and it is possible that mounting brackets or rubber bushes changed at points within a generation rather than only at the generation boundary. Because it is difficult to state exactly where any such mid-run changes occurred without risking incorrect guidance, you should confirm this against your specific registration with the breaker — they will be able to cross-reference the part against your VIN to catch any production-run variation.
