XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Infiniti G20 P11 (Rear Bolt Distance φ172) 1998-2002

The G20 P11’s front-wheel-drive Primera-derived platform was set up by Nissan for comfortable saloon driving, not for holding a line over broken tarmac at stage pace. Push that factory damping on a rough closed road and the front axle runs out of control travel fast, the nose diving into compressions while the rear struggles to stay planted through transitions.

XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally coilover replaces that soft factory tune with a damper built specifically around sealed-stage tarmac work: absorbing the hit from broken surfaces and mid-corner bumps without passing the shock straight into the body. For a G20 owner running club tarmac events or fast, rough B-roads in period-correct P11 spec, that is the difference between a car that skips over imperfections and one that stays loaded.

What this coilover does for your 1998-2002 Infiniti G20 P11 (Rr Bolt Distance φ172)

Fit this coilover to a 1998-2002 Infiniti G20 P11 and the immediate change is how the front end deals with sudden inputs: instead of transmitting a bump straight through the strut top, the damper absorbs the jolt and keeps the contact patch working, which on a rally-derived tune translates directly into more usable tyre traction over changing surfaces. Suppressing that shock through the body also settles the platform through direction changes, so the FWD chassis’s natural understeer under power is easier to manage because the front tyres are still loaded rather than skipping. Ride height is adjustable independently of that damping, so you can set the G20 P11 to the stance and corner weights a rally-tarmac setup demands without touching the spring’s working range. The net result on this specific chassis is a car that holds its line over consecutive bumps rather than one that gets progressively more unsettled the rougher the surface gets.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

This is a damper built around one job: keeping composure on sealed-stage tarmac, where the surface is consistent in grip but rarely smooth. The valving is set to soak up the impact of uneven pavement and larger compressions without kicking that energy back into the chassis, which is what lets the tyre keep working through a hit instead of skipping across it. XYZ Racing carried its settings across from its own Tarmac Rally programme, so the compression and rebound curves reflect what the team found held the car stable and predictable on stage rather than a generic fast-road compromise. The result is a setup tuned for vehicle stability first, so the handling balance stays consistent as the surface changes underneath the car, rather than one that only behaves on smooth asphalt.
