XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Nissan SKYLINE R35 GTR 4WD 2007-2026

The R35 GTR’s ATTESA E-TS Pro system shuffles torque between axles mid-corner, and on a broken tarmac stage that torque transfer arrives at the same instant as a compression the standard dampers were never built to read. Tarmac Rally spec is built around that exact problem: absorbing the hit from a cambered crest or a pothole at speed without the body flexing to compensate, so the GTR’s all-wheel-drive traction stays where it belongs – pushing you out of the corner, not fighting the surface.

For a 4WD platform carrying this much drivetrain weight over the front axle, controlling body shock through a stage is what keeps the car pointed. This kit is built for exactly that brief: sealed-stage tarmac rally use, where the next crest arrives before the last one has settled.

What this coilover does for your 2007-2026 Nissan SKYLINE R35 GTR 4WD

Fitted to the R35, the damper’s job is to soak up the jolt from a big compression – a mid-corner rut, a crest under load – before it reaches the chassis and unsettles the ATTESA system’s torque split. That matters more on this car than most: lose composure over a bump mid-corner and the GTR’s active AWD has less clean data to work with, and traction suffers exactly when you need it. Suppressing that shock at the wheel keeps contact patch loading consistent, which is what actually preserves tyre traction on broken tarmac rather than just softening the ride. The result on a stage is a GTR that stays settled through compressions instead of skipping, so you can carry the same line lap after the surface changes underneath you. Owners running this on Skyline R35 GTR 4WD stage cars report the car feeling planted where the standard setup would have unsettled the rear.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

XYZ Racing built the Tarmac Rally damper specifically to deal with uneven pavement – the kind of surface variation a closed stage throws up that a smooth circuit never does. The valving is tuned to absorb the impact of a big bump without transmitting that shock straight into the body, which is the mechanism behind the improved tyre traction the type is known for. Vehicle stability under that kind of repeated hit is the whole design brief: keep the chassis settled enough that the driver can actually use the grip on offer, corner after corner. The settings baked into this damper come directly from XYZ Racing’s own tarmac rally programme, not a generic road-going base tune adapted after the fact. On a car as reliant on chassis composure as the GTR, that stage-derived calibration is the difference between a coilover that copes with rough tarmac and one that was built for it.
