XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Nissan CUBE Z12 TYPE 2 2009-2014

The Z12 CUBE’s tall, slab-sided body and high centre of gravity make it an unusual choice for a sealed stage – body roll is present from the first bend, and the boxy platform needs its geometry managed carefully when the road surface varies. That is exactly the situation the damping setup has to address if the car is going to behave consistently rather than lurch between compressions.

The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover for the Nissan CUBE Z12 TYPE 2 (2009-2014) is calibrated specifically for closed-road tarmac competition, where the surface may look sealed but carries the compressions, crests, and patched sections that distinguish a rally stage from a smooth circuit. The settings are drawn from XYZ’s tarmac rally racing experience rather than adapted from a road or track specification.

What this coilover does for your 2009-2014 Nissan CUBE Z12 TYPE 2

The primary job is contact-time management. On a tarmac stage with variable surface quality – patches, crests, cambered hairpins – the CUBE Z12’s high-set body means wheel departure from the road is a real concern under load. The Tarmac Rally specification is calibrated to absorb sharp compressions and settle the car quickly afterwards, keeping the tyres planted across mid-corner bumps where the standard setup would allow the body to wallow and recover on its own schedule. The result is more consistent steering response between entry and apex, where secondary oscillation from the tall stance would otherwise bleed away confidence and traction.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

XYZ’s Tarmac Rally specification is built for a single purpose: keeping a competition car settled on closed-road tarmac that bears no resemblance to the smooth surfaces a road-biased coilover is tuned for. The damper construction is optimised to absorb the impact of uneven sealed surfaces – not just the steady compression loads of a fast sweeper, but the abrupt vertical jolt of a crested road junction or a patched access track that appears mid-stage. XYZ’s claim is that the settings derive from genuine tarmac rally racing experience rather than simulation or road testing, which matters because the response at an isolated high-amplitude hit is different from the response under sustained lateral load. The design suppresses body movement after impact and prioritises tyre contact time, translating directly into traction and stability through slower corners and on variable-condition stages.

Fitment for the Nissan CUBE Z12 TYPE 2 (2009-2014)

This kit is built to the NI62-1 chassis specification and covers the third-generation CUBE Z12 TYPE 2 across the 2009-2014 build window. Confirm your exact variant against the chassis code before ordering – the CUBE range across this period included several market-specific configurations, and matching the correct platform is essential.
