XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Nissan SKYLINE V35 (Modified Rear Integrated) 2003-2006

The V35 Skyline carries its weight further back and lower than most saloons its size, and on a fast tarmac stage that mass keeps travelling long after the front tyres have already committed to the next apex. Crest compressions, mid-corner camber changes and the transition from a fast straight into a hairpin all load the rear axle hard, and a standard damper struggles to keep the rear planted through that sequence.

The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover is built specifically for that scenario: sealed-stage tarmac rally work where the surface is broken, cambered and rarely flat for more than a few car lengths. Fitted to the Nissan Skyline V35 with its modified rear integrated suspension, it’s the spec for drivers running road-based stage events or fast-road use that mimics that kind of surface, rather than a smooth circuit.

What this coilover does for your 2003-2006 Nissan Skyline V35

On a car this size and weight, the biggest gain is control over how the rear end settles after a bump rather than continuing to move once the road has already changed shape. The damper is tuned to absorb the impact of an uneven surface and take the jolt out of a larger compression before it upsets the rear subframe’s geometry, so the tyre stays loaded and gripping instead of skipping. That matters directly on the V35’s modified rear integrated setup, where keeping the contact patch consistent through a bumpy corner is what lets you get back on the throttle earlier rather than waiting for the chassis to settle. The result on the road is a car that holds its line over broken tarmac instead of getting deflected off it, with the stability to carry more speed into stage-style corners with confidence rather than caution.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

This is a damper built around one job: making a car composed on tarmac that isn’t smooth. The valving is set up to soak up the shock of a big compression, whether that’s a crest, a pothole repair or a camber change, without transmitting the full hit through to the body and unsettling the chassis mid-corner. That control is what keeps the tyre’s contact patch working rather than being knocked loose over rough sections, and it’s the difference between traction holding and traction breaking away on exactly the kind of surface a tarmac stage throws at a car. The tuning behind this range comes from XYZ Racing’s own tarmac rally programme, where these settings were developed and refined stage by stage rather than on a smooth test track. For the Skyline V35 that means a coilover matched to a heavier, rear-driven platform rather than a generic setting borrowed from a lighter front-drive car.

Fitment for the Nissan Skyline V35 (2003-2006)

This kit is built for the Nissan Skyline V35 with the modified rear integrated suspension arrangement, chassis code NI44, covering the 2003 to 2006 model years. Confirm your car matches this rear suspension configuration before ordering, as the V35 range was offered with more than one rear setup across its production run.
