Restore proper door alignment and smooth operation with the Genuine OEM Nissan Front Door Hinge – H0401-01U00, a genuine factory replacement hinge for the Nissan R32 Skyline, including the BNR32 Skyline GT-R.
Manufactured to Nissan's original specifications, this durable steel hinge replaces worn, damaged or loose factory door hinges, helping restore correct door positioning, consistent panel gaps and smooth opening and closing.

Ideal for R32 Skyline GT-R restorations, accident repairs, bodywork refurbishment or replacing worn original door hardware.

Signs Your Door Hinges May Need Replacing
Door hinges support the weight of the door and experience repeated movement whenever the door is opened or closed.
As the vehicle ages, hinge pins and pivot points can wear, allowing excessive movement within the hinge assembly.
Common signs of worn or damaged 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 can also be caused by damaged mounting points, worn door 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, consistent panel gaps 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 its correct position.
Important: Replacing a hinge does not automatically correct bent bodywork, damaged mounting points or incorrectly adjusted doors. Final alignment may still be required.
Ideal for R32 Skyline & GT-R Restorations
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 original hinge position and record the existing 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.
