Nissan R33 R34 Skyline GT-R (95-01) BC Racing ZX coilover kit 8/5 kg/mm

The BC Racing ZX coilover kit GT-R R33 R34 (part number D-08-ZX) is a coilover kit adjustable in height and damping, also simply called a coilover, for the Nissan Skyline GT-R R33 (BCNR33) and GT-R R34 (BNR34), model years 1995 to 2001. The spring rate is 8 kg/mm front and 5 kg/mm rear.

For a GT-R R33 or R34 that is driven competitively on track, BC Racing has the ZX. This series combines the digressive DS with the ER: an upright monotube with dual piston and external reservoir. Racing oil with a very high viscosity index keeps the damping stable during long sessions, and the upper mount is replaceable.

The ZX is 3-way adjustable. You have 20 clicks for low-speed compression, 12 clicks for high-speed compression and 30 clicks for rebound. You set the ride height infinitely via the damper body. BC Racing supplies this kit with 8/5 kg/mm for both GT-Rs.

Key benefits

• DS and ER combined: digressive monotube with external reservoir.
• Racing oil: stays stable during long sessions thanks to a very high viscosity index.
• Replaceable upper mount: easier maintenance.
• Camber plates: rubber top mounts optional.
• GT-R R33 and R34: one part number for both.
• 8/5 kg/mm: 8 kg/mm front, 5 kg/mm rear.
• Rebuildable: the dampers can be rebuilt.

Fitting and delivery

This ZX replaces the original dampers and springs of your GT-R. We recommend having it installed by an experienced mechanic and then having the wheel alignment set to the new ride height. Start from a neutral baseline and change one of the three settings per session. The delivery time is 1 to 2 weeks as long as the manufacturer has stock. If the ZX is temporarily out of stock, you can still order and we will let you know when it is in.

The BC Racing ZX for the Skyline GT-R R33 and R34 is 3-way adjustable, with 20 clicks of low-speed compression, 12 clicks of high-speed compression and 30 clicks of rebound.

Why choose this ZX coilover kit GT-R R33 R34?

A GT-R in competition relies heavily on its suspension, and then every setting counts. With the ZX you adjust the low-speed compression for balance in corners separately from the high-speed compression for kerbs and bumps. The racing oil keeps the damping consistent even in long sessions, and the dampers can be rebuilt once the season is over.
