Used Nissan Skyline Throttle Body

Yes, the Nissan Skyline does have a throttle body, but only on certain engine variants — specifically the naturally aspirated engines such as the RB20E, RB25DE, and similar non-turbocharged units, which use a conventional single throttle body feeding the intake manifold. The turbocharged variants like the RB20DET, RB25DET, RB26DETT, and VQ35DE-powered V35 generation also use a throttle body, so in practice all Skyline engines do have one. However, the RB26DETT found in the GT-R uses individual throttle bodies (ITBs) as part of its twin-cam setup, which are a very different fitment from the single throttle bodies on other variants — make sure you know exactly which engine you have before searching.

The R33 (1993–1998) and R34 (1998–2002) Skylines shared engine families — for example, both used the RB25DET in turbocharged GT-S guise — and throttle body fitment follows the engine code, not the generation badge. If both cars carry the same engine code, the throttle body is likely compatible, but there were running production changes to ancillary fittings and sensor configurations across the R33-to-R34 boundary that could affect direct swap fitment, so confirm the specific part against your registration with the breaker before buying.

Trim level itself does not determine throttle body fitment — what matters is the engine code fitted to that trim. In the R34 generation for example, the GT-S and GT-T both used turbocharged RB25DET variants, though different series of that engine were fitted at different points, so the engine code stamped on your block is the detail to supply to a breaker rather than the trim name alone. If two cars share the same engine code regardless of GT-S or GT-T badging, the throttle body is the same unit.

Yes, completely different — the V35 Skyline moved to the VQ35DE V6 engine, which is an entirely different architecture from the straight-six RB-series engines used in R32, R33, and R34 generations, so the throttle bodies are not interchangeable in any way. The V35 uses a drive-by-wire electronic throttle body rather than the cable-operated units on many earlier Skylines, meaning the two generations are incompatible at the throttle body. Always give the breaker your engine code — VQ35DE for the V35 — to ensure you receive the correct unit.

No — the R32 GT-R uses the RB26DETT engine, which features six individual throttle bodies (one per cylinder) as part of its DOHC intake setup, while the GTS-T uses the RB20DET or RB25DET with a conventional single throttle body, so these are completely different parts from different engine families. Even if you were sourcing an individual ITB from an RB26DETT, that is a specialist performance part distinct from the single-unit throttle body on the GTS-T. Confirm your exact engine code with the breaker and make clear whether you need a single throttle body or an individual throttle body from a multi-ITB setup.

Engine-code-for-engine-code, the throttle body itself is generally the same part regardless of whether the car was a grey import or a UK-market vehicle, since the mechanical components follow the engine specification. However, there can be differences in sensor connectors, vacuum port arrangements, or ECU calibration between JDM and EUDM specifications that may affect how the part integrates with your car's management system — confirm any sensor or wiring differences with the breaker against your specific registration before purchasing.
