Genuine OEM Nissan Front Door Hinge – R32 Skyline / BNR32 GT-R – H0401-01U00
Restore correct door alignment and smooth operation with the Genuine OEM Nissan Front Door Hinge – H0401-01U00, a factory replacement hinge for the Nissan R32 Skyline Coupe and BNR32 Skyline GT-R.
Manufactured to Nissan's original specifications, this genuine steel door hinge replaces worn, damaged or excessively loose factory hinges, helping maintain correct door positioning, consistent panel gaps and smooth opening and closing.
After decades of use, original R32 Skyline door hinges can develop wear around their pivot points and hinge pins. This can allow unwanted movement, causing the door to sag, become difficult to close or sit incorrectly against the surrounding body panels.
Replacing worn hinges with genuine Nissan components helps restore the original mounting arrangement and provides a reliable starting point for proper door alignment.
Whether you're restoring a BNR32 Skyline GT-R, repairing accident damage or refreshing an R32 GTS-t, genuine Nissan door hinges are an excellent choice for maintaining factory fitment and operation.
Important: This hinge is used in two positions: Left-Hand (LH) Upper Door Hinge or Right-Hand (RH) Lower Door Hinge.

Signs Your Door Hinges May Need Replacing
Door hinges support the weight of the door and experience repeated movement every time the door is opened or closed.
Over time, hinge pins and pivot points may develop wear, particularly on vehicles that have been in service for several decades.
Common symptoms of worn or damaged door hinges include:
- Door sagging when opened
- Door needing to be lifted to close correctly
- Uneven gaps between the door and surrounding body panels
- Excessive movement around the hinge pivot
- Clunking or looseness when opening the door
- Difficulty achieving correct door alignment
- Visible corrosion, damage or deformation
These symptoms may also be caused by damaged mounting points, incorrectly adjusted strikers or previous accident repairs. Inspect the complete door mounting arrangement before replacing components.
Restore Factory Door Alignment
Correctly functioning door hinges are essential for maintaining proper door positioning and smooth operation.
When a hinge becomes worn, the door may move out of alignment, placing additional load on the latch and striker assembly.
Replacing worn hinges with genuine Nissan components helps restore the original mounting arrangement and allows the door to be adjusted to the correct factory position.
Important: Replacing a hinge does not automatically correct damaged bodywork, worn door latches or incorrectly adjusted doors. Final door alignment may still be required.
Ideal for R32 Skyline & GT-R Restorations
As R32 Skylines continue to age, original door hardware can become worn, damaged or difficult to restore.
Genuine Nissan replacement hinges are particularly useful for:
- BNR32 Skyline GT-R restorations
- R32 GTS-t and GTS-4 restorations
- Front door alignment repairs
- Accident damage repairs
- Door replacement and repainting
- Correction of worn hinge pivots
- Factory bodywork refurbishment
Installation Information
Door hinge replacement requires correctly supporting the door while removing and installing the hinge.
Before removal, inspect the existing hinge and record the original door alignment where possible.
Install the genuine Nissan replacement hinge using the correct factory mounting hardware and applicable Nissan workshop specifications.
After installation, adjust the door as required to achieve appropriate panel gaps, correct latch engagement and smooth opening and closing.
Professional Installation Recommended: Vehicle doors are heavy and can cause injury or bodywork damage if inadequately supported. Use appropriate equipment and follow the applicable factory repair procedure.
