Fitment questions
Does the Nissan Skyline have a transfer box?
Yes, but only on four-wheel-drive variants — specifically the ATTESA E-TS equipped models such as the R32, R33, and R34 GT-R, which use an active four-wheel-drive system requiring a transfer box to distribute drive between the front and rear axles. Rear-wheel-drive Skyline variants (such as the GTS and GTS-T) never had a transfer box fitted, so if your car is rear-wheel-drive only, this is not a part you need. Check your V5 or run a VIN check to confirm your exact variant before searching for this part.
Will a transfer box from an R32 GT-R fit an R33 GT-R?
The R32 GT-R (1989–1994) and R33 GT-R (1995–1998) both use the ATTESA E-TS four-wheel-drive system with the RB26DETT engine, but the transfer box design evolved between generations and direct interchange is not guaranteed. The R33 generation brought dimensional and ancillary changes that may affect mounting and compatibility. Name the generation boundary to your breaker and ask them to confirm fitment against your specific registration before purchasing.
Will a transfer box from an R33 GT-R fit an R34 GT-R?
The R34 GT-R (1999–2002) shares the RB26DETT engine and ATTESA E-TS four-wheel-drive system with the R33, and there is some mechanical commonality, but changes were made to the drivetrain and ancillary components between these generations. Whether a unit crosses that R33-to-R34 boundary is something you should confirm directly with the breaker against your registration, as mounting and connection points may differ. Providing your engine code and full VIN to the breaker is the most reliable way to get a confident answer.
Does the trim level affect which transfer box I need — for example, GT-R V-Spec versus standard GT-R?
Trim level does not affect the transfer box itself — both the standard R33 or R34 GT-R and the V-Spec variant use the same ATTESA E-TS four-wheel-drive layout with the RB26DETT engine, so the core transfer box unit is the same. The V-Spec models added an active limited-slip differential and some chassis enhancements, but these do not change the transfer box specification. Confirm with the breaker that the unit matches your engine code and generation, and trim alone should not be a concern.
What details should I give the breaker when asking for a Nissan Skyline transfer box?
The single most useful piece of information is your engine code, which for a GT-R will be the RB26DETT — this can be found on your V5 logbook or via a VIN check, and it confirms you have a four-wheel-drive variant that actually uses a transfer box. You should also supply your generation (R32, R33, or R34) and the year of your vehicle, as ancillary and mounting details can vary within and between generations. The breaker will need these details to match the correct unit, and for any questions about sensor connections or electronic compatibility, confirm those specifics directly with them against your registration.
Are transfer boxes from Japanese-import Skylines compatible with UK-registered cars?
The mechanical specification of the RB26DETT engine and ATTESA E-TS transfer box is the same whether the car was originally sold in Japan or registered in the UK, so the core unit can be compatible. However, the Nissan Skyline was not officially sold new in the UK, meaning the vast majority of UK-registered Skylines are grey imports anyway, and most breakers will be supplying parts sourced from Japanese-market cars. Confirm with the breaker that the generation and engine code match your car, and raise any questions about ancillary connections or electronic pairing directly with them.
