Cheap Nissan Skyline Wiper Motor

The Skyline ran through several generations including the R32 (1989–1994), R33 (1994–1998), R33 facelift (1996), R34 (1998–2002), and the later V35 (2001–2007), each of which is a distinct platform with different body dimensions and wiper systems. Because the wiper motor is matched to the specific generation's screen geometry and mounting points, you must source a motor from the correct generation for your car. Confirm your exact generation with the breaker against your registration to ensure the right unit is quoted.

The R33 received a facelift in 1996, and while the overall platform carried over, there can be detail changes to body panels and screen fittings around a facelift that affect wiper motor compatibility. The boundary between pre- and post-facelift R33s is worth treating with caution — name your build year to the breaker and ask them to confirm the motor matches your specific version rather than assuming any R33 unit will drop straight in.

For wiper motors, trim level does not drive fitment; what matters is the generation of the car and whether you need a front or rear motor. A GTR and a GTS of the same generation share the same windscreen and wiper system, so the motor should interchange regardless of trim. Bear in mind that any ancillary connectors or washer jet arrangements could differ cosmetically between builds, so it is worth checking the connector type with the breaker when you enquire.

Front and rear motors are not interchangeable with each other, and crossing a generation boundary — in this case from the R34 (1998–2002) back to the R32 (1989–1994) — introduces differences in mounting brackets, output shaft position, and connector type. These two generations are far enough apart that a direct swap is unlikely to work, and you should confirm with the breaker that any unit they have is pulled from the same generation as your car.

The V35 ran from approximately 2001 to 2007, and motors from within that generation are the right starting point when sourcing a replacement. However, if there were any running production changes to the wiper system during that span, a motor from a different V35 year might not be identical, so provide your exact registration or build date to the breaker and ask them to cross-reference before you commit. Never assume a part is correct based on generation alone without the breaker confirming it against your specific vehicle.

Engine choice has no bearing on wiper motor fitment — the motor is determined by the body generation and whether you need front or rear, not by what is under the bonnet. This means whether your car is a straight-six or any other variant, you are looking at the same motor as any other car of the same generation. Focus your search on getting the correct generation confirmed by the breaker against your registration.
