Used towbars 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:
The Nissan Skyline was never factory-fitted with a towbar by Nissan — it is a performance sports car (sold in the UK predominantly as the R33 and R34 GT-R and GT-T), and towing was simply not part of its design brief or homologation. No genuine OEM towbar exists for any Skyline variant, and you are unlikely to find one through a breaker's yard. If you need towing capability, an aftermarket specialist such as Witter or PCT may be worth contacting, though given the Skyline's rarity and chassis design, availability is not guaranteed.
This question doesn't really apply — neither the GT-R nor the GT-T was factory-fitted with a towbar, so there is no genuine Nissan Skyline towbar in circulation to compare between variants. Any towbar you encounter would be an aftermarket fabrication, and fitment between variants would depend entirely on the specific product and manufacturer's specifications. If you've found an aftermarket towbar claiming Skyline fitment, confirm directly with the supplier which chassis codes it covers.
No factory towbar was ever produced for either the R33 or R34 generation Skyline, so there is nothing from a breaker to cross-reference between these two distinct platforms. The R33 ran from 1993 to 1998 and the R34 from 1998 to 2002, and while they share Skyline lineage they are different platforms with different rear subframe and bumper structures, so aftermarket towbars are not likely to be interchangeable between them. If you've located an aftermarket unit, check the manufacturer's chassis code compatibility before purchasing.
Trim level makes no difference here — no Skyline variant, whether a base GT-T or a full GT-R V-Spec, was ever supplied with a factory towbar regardless of specification. This is one of those parts that simply was not part of the Skyline's design at any trim level. If towing capacity is what you need, the Skyline is not a suitable vehicle for that purpose.
It is very unlikely to be a genuine Nissan factory part, as no OEM towbar was ever produced for the Skyline range. What you may have found is a fabricated aftermarket item, possibly one-off or from a small specialist, which means fitment, legality, and load ratings would need to be verified carefully. Before buying from a breaker, confirm with them exactly which model year and chassis code it was removed from and whether it carries any type-approval markings, as unrated towbars can create insurance and MOT complications.
