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

The R35 GTR’s factory DampTronic dampers are electronically adjustable, but they were tuned for a road car that also has to behave itself in traffic – not for a 1,740kg four-wheel-drive coupe being asked to hold a line at 9/10ths for twenty consecutive laps. Add the ATTESA E-TS system’s habit of shuffling drive front to rear mid-corner and the GTR’s nose-heavy transaxle layout, and the standard set-up starts to feel vague exactly when you need it most.

XYZ Racing’s Racing Spec coilover replaces that electronic guesswork with a fixed, mechanically consistent platform built specifically for circuit and time-attack running on the SKYLINE R35 GTR 4WD. It’s the range built for drivers chasing repeatable lap times, not a plusher ride.

What this coilover brings to your 2007-2026 Nissan SKYLINE R35 GTR 4WD

Losing the factory active damping removes the lag and inconsistency that comes with electronically switched settings, replacing it with a fixed damping curve that behaves the same on lap one and lap twenty. On a car this heavy, that consistency matters most under trail braking into slower corners, where the GTR’s mass wants to keep loading the front axle even as ATTESA is trying to redistribute torque to the rear. Ride height adjustment independent of spring preload lets you correct the corner weights that four-wheel drive hardware and a front-mounted transaxle tend to upset, and gives you the low, stable platform that time-attack-spec GTRs run without touching factory geometry limits you’d otherwise be fighting.

About the Racing Spec coilover

Racing Spec is XYZ Racing’s dedicated track-day damper, and the base tune isn’t generic – it comes directly from circuit programmes including WTCC, where damper behaviour under sustained load was validated in competition rather than on a bench. For cars carrying heavier modification, XYZ Racing also offers a custom-valved version of this same damper: send details of the specific upgrades already fitted to your GTR, along with the circuit you intend to run, and the shock absorbers can be built around that spec rather than a generic track setting. That option exists because a lightly-tuned GTR and an A-class-spec track weapon load a damper very differently, and the standard Racing Spec valving is the starting point for both.

Fitment for the Nissan SKYLINE R35 GTR 4WD (2007-2026)

This kit is built for the Nissan SKYLINE R35 GTR 4WD, chassis code NI47, covering the full production run from 2007 through to 2026. It’s specified around the R35’s four-wheel-drive drivetrain and transaxle layout rather than adapted from a two-wheel-drive base kit.
