Nissan Pulsar GTI-R and Classic Nissan Coilovers

For an imported Pulsar GTI-R, the turbo all-wheel-drive hatch built for rallying, four brands make Nissan Pulsar GTI-R coilovers named for exactly that car. This page also has kits for the N14 and N15 Pulsar, the NX1600, the S12 200SX and Japan-market sedans and wagons: fifteen kits in all.

Animated illustration. It shows where coilovers sit on a car, not your exact kit. Depending on the car and the kit, coilovers can lean forward or back or stand straight up, and some cars use a separate spring and shock in the rear. Your ride height depends on the kit and how it is set up.

How to read classic Nissan kit names

Chassis codes matter more here than model years.

BC Racing coilovers, classic Nissans

Five BC Racing kits for these Nissans

BC Racing coilovers for the Nissan Pulsar GTI-R, S12, G10, Stagea and Cima come in three series: BR, DS and RM. RM comes only on the GTI-R, S12 and Stagea kits. Free shipping on BC Racing kits in the continental US.

BR, DS and RM on the five BC kits

Here is how BC's three series differ.

BR

Each BR coilover has one 30-click firmness knob. It comes on all five kits.

DS

DS adds a digressive (body-control) piston to BR, and it also comes on all five kits.

RM

RM uses an upside-down monotube for strut-type fronts. It comes on the GTI-R, S12 and Stagea kits.

Fortune Auto, Feal and Ksport

These three brands make ten of the fifteen kits on this page. Call 1-800-460-9106 to compare.

Before you buy: the Pulsar GTI-R on coilovers

The Pulsar GTI-R was built for Group A rallying, but it was never sold in North America, and the few imported here leave little owner record in English. The same goes for the other Japan-market Nissans on this page. We could not confirm what little there is. BC Racing still makes kits for the GTI-R, S12 and others, so if you have one of these cars, we can confirm the fit with you by phone.

GTI-R history

Built for Group A rallying

Nissan's Heritage Collection says the car was made "to run in World Rally Championship (WRC) under 'Group A' regulations and was rolled out in 1990."

  1. 1990
    Engine and drivetrain"Mechanisms featured 2000cc turbo engine that generated 230ps and 4WD controlled by 'ATTESA' system."

GTI-R, N14, the S12 swap and Cedric kits

Which kits fit a Pulsar GTI-R?

Four kits fit it: BC's 1990 to 1994 Pulsar GTIR AWD, and three 1991 to 1995 kits: Fortune Auto's Pulsar GTiR (RNN14), Feal's Pulsar GTI-R and Ksport's Pulsar (GTI-R model only).

Does an N14 Pulsar kit fit the GTI-R?

The N14 kits here are not named for the GTI-R. Use the GTI-R kits, or call us.

What does "Requires S13 Knuckle Swap" mean for my S12?

It is a note in BC's kit name. Call us before you order.

There are two Cedric/Gloria kits. Which one do I need?

Fortune Auto's kit name adds "Front Requires Welding"; Feal's does not. Call us to compare.

Which BC series are available?

BR and DS come on all five BC kits here, and RM comes on the GTI-R, S12 and Stagea kits.

Is there a kit for the Stagea AWD?

BC's Stagea kit is named for 2WD. Call us about an AWD car.
