XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Nissan PULSAR N14 GTIR 4WD 1990-1995

The N14 GTIR’s ATTESA E-TS four-wheel-drive system was built to survive exactly the kind of surface that breaks a car on a rally stage – crested tarmac, patched repairs, a camber that changes mid-corner. The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover for the Pulsar N14 GTIR is set up for that same brief: sealed-stage pace on tarmac that is rarely as smooth as it looks from the recce notes.

Where a fast-road coilover chases a compliant daily ride, this kit is tuned around big hits arriving at speed – broken edges, mid-corner bumps, kerb strikes – without the chassis losing its line. It is built for drivers running the GTIR on closed tarmac stages or track days who need the SR20DET’s power getting to the road through all four wheels, not soaked up by axle hop.

What this coilover does for your 1990-1995 Nissan Pulsar N14 GTIR 4WD

Fitted to the N14, the Tarmac Rally kit’s damping is set to absorb the shock of a bad road surface before it reaches the chassis, so the car settles rather than skips over patched tarmac and mid-corner bumps. That control keeps more of each tyre’s contact patch loaded through a stage, which matters on a car that already has to share its power across four driven wheels – less energy lost to an unloaded wheel means more of the drivetrain’s output actually goes into forward drive. The result on the GTIR is a car that holds its line over surface changes instead of skating sideways off a crest, giving you the confidence to commit to a stage you have only seen once on the recce.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

XYZ Racing developed the Tarmac Rally damper specifically for sealed-stage rally use, where the surface is smoother than gravel but far rougher than a circuit – patched tarmac, ridges, drainage cambers and the odd pothole taken at speed. The damping curve is built to soak up a hard, sudden hit without the body kicking back afterwards, so the chassis stays composed rather than fighting the driver on the next turn-in. Every setting on this kit comes from XYZ Racing’s own tarmac rally programme rather than a generic road-car baseline, which is why the response to a sharp edge feels different from a track-focused damper tuned mainly around smooth kerbs and consistent grip levels. On the GTIR the aim is straightforward: keep the tyre gripping through the rough stuff so the car turns in and puts power down the way it was homologated to.
