Nissan GT-R R35 Parts Guide: The Ultimate Upgrade Roadmap
The Nissan GT-R R35 is one of the most iconic performance cars ever built — and one of the most rewarding to modify. Whether you're chasing a cleaner OEM+ look or building a full aero package, the right parts make all the difference. At FD Racing, we stock over 546 Nissan GT-R R35 parts from the world's leading JDM and performance brands.
This guide covers the key upgrade categories for the R35, with links to our full range so you can find exactly what you need.

1. Carbon Fibre Bonnets
A carbon fibre bonnet is one of the most impactful visual and weight-saving upgrades for the R35. It reduces front-end mass, improves heat dissipation, and gives the car an unmistakably purposeful look.
Popular options we stock include the Varis Carbon Fibre Bonnet — a premium Japanese-made piece with exceptional fitment and a stunning weave finish. Pair it with bonnet struts for a clean, functional setup.
- Dry carbon vs. wet carbon options available
- OEM-style and vented designs
- Direct bolt-on fitment for R35

2. Bonnet Struts & Dampers
If you're upgrading to a carbon fibre bonnet — or simply want a cleaner engine bay experience — bonnet struts are an essential addition. They replace the standard prop rod with a gas-damper system that holds the bonnet open hands-free.
We stock our own FD Racing Carbon Fibre Bonnet Struts, designed specifically for the R35 and finished in carbon fibre to complement your bonnet upgrade perfectly.
- Direct OEM replacement fitment
- Carbon fibre finish available
- Easy DIY installation
3. Body Kits & Full Bumper Kits
For a complete exterior transformation, a full body kit or bumper kit is the way to go. These packages typically include front bumper, rear bumper, and side skirt components — giving the R35 a dramatically more aggressive stance.
One of our most popular options is the Top Secret M24 Full Bumper Kit with Front Wings — a legendary Japanese tuning house design that's instantly recognisable on track and at shows alike.
- Full bumper kits from Top Secret, Varis, and more
- FRP and carbon fibre construction options
- Designed for R35 GT-R specific fitment
4. Rear Bumper Skirts
Rear bumper skirts (also known as rear diffuser lips or under-bumper extensions) add a refined, low-slung look to the rear of the R35 while improving aerodynamic flow underneath the car.
The APR Performance Rear Bumper Skirts are a customer favourite at FD Racing — precision-engineered carbon fibre pieces that integrate seamlessly with the OEM rear bumper.
- Carbon fibre construction
- OEM bumper compatible
- Available from APR Performance

5. Wing Vents & Carbon Emblems
The finishing touches matter. Carbon fibre wing vents and emblem covers are subtle but effective ways to elevate the overall look of your R35 without major bodywork.
Rexpeed Carbon Fibre Wing Vents and Carbon Emblem Covers are precision-cut replacements that add a premium touch to the front wings and badge areas. They're a popular first modification for GT-R owners just starting their build.
- Direct OEM replacement fitment
- Real carbon fibre weave finish
- Available individually or as sets
6. Brake Lights & Lighting
Keeping your GT-R's lighting in top condition is both a safety and aesthetic priority. The OEM Third Brake Light is a direct replacement that restores factory-spec performance — ideal if you've had bodywork done or are refreshing an older R35.
- OEM-spec replacement parts
- Direct plug-and-play fitment
- Essential for track and road use
7. Carbon Fibre Daylight Panels
The RSW Japan Carbon Daylight Panel is a premium interior/exterior trim piece that replaces the standard A-pillar or roof panel with a lightweight carbon fibre alternative. It's a popular choice for GT-R owners looking to reduce weight and add a race-inspired aesthetic inside the cabin.
- Lightweight carbon fibre construction
- Precision fitment for R35
- RSW Japan quality
