XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Nissan SKYLINE R33 GTST 1995-1998

The R33 Skyline GTST has always carried an unfair stigma: the Skyline that Nissan softened for the European and Australian long-haul market, at the expense of the sharper reflexes that made the R32 special. That factory tuning is deliberate – the R33’s longer wheelbase and softer spring rates made it more liveable, but they also left body roll unchecked under hard cornering and the rear end feeling somewhat distant from the RWD drivetrain behind the RB25DET. The XYZ Racing Street Advanced coilover set changes that without making the car punishing.

For a car that functions as a weekend machine and a serious driving tool in equal measure, 720-way damping adjustment is genuinely useful – not a headline figure. You can run the Street Advanced on a comfortable daily setting and tighten the setup significantly before a track day, all without pulling the car off the road to swap springs.

What this coilover does for your 1995-1998 Nissan SKYLINE R33 GTST

Replacing the R33 GTST’s factory dampers directly addresses the car’s principal handling weakness: the excess body roll that masks the chassis’s rear-drive balance. With a firmer, adjustable setup, the rear of the GTST – running a multi-link arrangement without the GTR’s HICAS four-wheel steering to compensate – becomes genuinely communicative. You start to feel where the rear axle is loading under the RB25DET’s turbo delivery, which makes the car far easier to place under power. Adjustable ride height brings the R33’s factory nose-high stance down to something that improves body control at speed without destroying the car’s ability to absorb a broken B-road. The 720-step damping range means the gap between a road setup and a track day configuration is a few turns of the adjuster, not a session on the jack stands.

About the Street Advanced coilover

The Street Advanced is XYZ Racing’s most widely used coilover line – the product of sustained development by their engineering team, with the spec refined through worldwide competition testing before it reached production. That background shows in a 720-way damping adjustment range that provides real granularity: not a handful of coarse detents, but a genuine ability to tune the car’s response to road surface and driver preference across a wide band. The Street Advanced is built for normal road use and track day work in equal measure, which makes it particularly relevant for R33 GTST owners who cover real mileage between events rather than trailering. Construction quality is calibrated to handle variable road surfaces – a necessary consideration for a platform still being driven hard in 2026, on roads that were never as smooth as a circuit.

Fitment for the Nissan SKYLINE R33 GTST (1995-1998)

This set is specified for the Nissan Skyline R33 GTST (chassis code NI38), covering the 1995 to 1998 production run. The fitment covers the GTST variant specifically – the rear-wheel drive turbocharged model rather than the all-wheel drive GTR. Confirm your chassis code before ordering if you are unsure which Skyline variant you have.
