Used Nissan Skyline Sump

The R33 ran from 1993 to 1998 and the R34 from 1998 to 2002, and while both generations shared the RB-series engine family, sump design and ancillary mounting points can differ between generations. The engine code stamped on your block — for example RB25DET or RB26DETT — is the most reliable starting point, and you should confirm with the breaker whether the specific sump crosses the R33-to-R34 boundary against your registration. Never assume a direct swap on generation alone.

Both years sit within the R33 generation (1993–1998), so you are on the same side of a generational boundary, which is encouraging. Fitment still hinges on your engine code — supply the breaker with that code from your V5 or a VIN check rather than relying on the year alone. A matching engine code within the same generation gives you the best chance of a straight swap, but ask the breaker to confirm against your registration.

Trim level does not affect sump fitment; what matters is the engine code. The GTS-T used the RB25DET while the GT-R used the RB26DETT, so these are different engines and their sumps are not interchangeable — it is the engine difference, not the badge or trim, that separates them. Always match by engine code, which your breaker can verify against your registration.

The Nissan Skyline sold in the UK through official and grey import channels was petrol-engined across its R32, R33, and R34 generations, so fuel type is unlikely to be a variable you encounter in practice. That said, always confirm the engine code with your breaker, as that single detail tells them everything they need to match the correct sump to your car.

The R32 ran from 1989 to 1993 and used RB-series engines including the RB20DET and RB26DETT, but sump profiles, pick-up pipe positions, and mounting arrangements can vary across the R32-to-R33 and R33-to-R34 boundaries. Crossing a generation boundary with a mechanical component like a sump needs breaker confirmation against your specific engine code and registration, rather than a general yes or no. Supply your engine code — found on the block or via a VIN check — and let the breaker advise.

The R34 ran from 1998 to 2002, and mid-production ancillary or mounting changes within a generation are possible even where the core engine code stays the same. Year within the generation can matter, so give the breaker your exact registration or engine code rather than just stating R34, and ask them to confirm the sump matches your specific build date.
