Second Hand Nissan Skyline Sun Visor

Sun visors are interior parts, so the key details are the generation of your Skyline, your trim level, and which side you need — driver's side (NS, nearside) or passenger's side (OS, offside). Engine and drivetrain don't affect the sun visor, so you don't need to worry about whether your car is RB25, RB26, or 2WD versus ATTESA 4WD. Have your registration to hand so the breaker can confirm the exact specification against their stock.

The R32 ran from 1989 to 1993 and the R33 from 1993 to 1998, and these are distinct generations with different interior designs, so a direct swap across that boundary is unlikely. You should confirm with the breaker whether the visor from a specific R33 donor car matches your R32's interior before buying. Don't assume compatibility just because both are Skylines.

The R34 ran from 1998 to 2002, and while there were running changes during its production, the sun visor is generally considered a stable interior component within the generation. That said, if you're sourcing from a car near the early or late end of that run, it's worth asking the breaker to check the part against your registration to rule out any mid-life revisions. Within the same generation this is usually a straightforward match.

In general, sun visors are not heavily trim-dependent and a visor from one Skyline variant should fit the same generation regardless of whether it's a GT-T, GT-R, or other trim. The main thing to watch for is cosmetic differences — the fabric or finish may vary between trim levels, so a visor from a different spec car may look slightly different even if it fits physically. If appearance matters to you, tell the breaker which trim you're matching so they can try to find a closer cosmetic match.

Yes, driver's side (NS, nearside in the UK) and passenger's side (OS, offside) sun visors are handed parts and are not interchangeable, so always specify which side you need when contacting a breaker. Bear in mind that Skylines were originally Japanese market right-hand-drive cars, so the NS is the driver's side, the same as a standard UK car. Getting the side wrong is an easy mistake that will mean the visor won't locate correctly into the headlining mounting point.

The Skyline is a grey import rather than a mainstream UK model, so specialist breakers who handle Japanese imports are your best bet rather than general dismantlers. Stock of interior trim parts like sun visors can be limited, so it's worth contacting multiple breakers through Findapart and being ready to describe your generation, trim, and the condition of the finish you need. Because supply is patchy, being flexible on cosmetic condition will improve your chances of finding a usable part.
