Used window regulators 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 R32 Skyline ran from 1989 to 1994 and the R33 from 1993 to 1998, and these are distinct generations with different door structures, so a regulator from one will not simply swap into the other. Always confirm the generation with your breaker against your registration before ordering.
The R34 Skyline ran from 1998 to 2002, and within that generation the door shell and regulator mounting points were consistent, so an early and late R34 regulator of the same side should be compatible. That said, confirm with the breaker against your registration to be certain, as minor running changes can occur.
Yes, this matters significantly: the nearside (NS) is the passenger side (left) and the offside (OS) is the driver side (right) in UK right-hand-drive cars, and the regulators are handed and not interchangeable. Always specify NS or OS clearly when getting a quote from a breaker.
Trim level does not affect door shell or regulator fitment — what matters is the generation (R32, R33, or R34) and the side (NS or OS). You may find cosmetic differences such as different glass or interior trim between variants, but the regulator mechanism itself should interchange across trims within the same generation, though confirm this with your breaker.
The R32 and R33 generations overlap briefly around 1993–1994, but they are separate platforms with different door designs, so the regulators are not the same part. Confirm with your breaker whether any specific regulator crosses this generational boundary, as they will be able to check part numbers against your registration.
The physical mounting and fitment of the regulator depend on the generation and door side, not the electric or manual type — however, you must replace like for like in terms of mechanism or you will need additional modifications. Whether your specific car has electric or manual operation and whether a given donor car matches is something to confirm with the breaker against your registration, as this can vary.
