Is it time to replace your race suit? Let’s get you track-ready. The Complete BC Racing Coilover Guide for Nissan
Nissan is the deepest range in this run of guides so far. 114 BC Racing fitments spread across 85 models, from a 1970 240Z through to the current Ariya EV, and the spread is not even. Most of the everyday cars get one series. One platform gets all six.
That platform is the Silvia, sold in the UK as the 200SX. The S13, S14 and S15 chassis carry BR, RM, ER, ZX, HM and ZR, and HM and ZR do not appear on any other Nissan fitment in the catalogue. The Skyline GT-R and the Z-cars reach three series each. Everything else, Note, Juke, Leaf, Serena, X-Trail, Almera and the rest, sits on BR alone or V1 alone depending on how old the generation is.

Nissan fitments in the BC Racing range
Which BC series fits your Nissan?
The table below groups the range by platform rather than by model name, because that is how the series coverage actually splits. The Silvia and 200SX sit on their own row because no other Nissan reaches the same spread. The Skyline GT-R, GTS and the Fairlady Z line from the 300ZX to the 400Z share the same three series between them. Most RWD and older AWD saloons and hatches settle on BR and RM. The current-generation everyday models are BR only, and the generation before that is V1 only.
V1 is BC Racing’s entry series, and it is worth knowing which generation of your car you have before you search. A 2015 X-Trail and a 2020 X-Trail are on completely different series.
Nissan fitments by chassis
This covers the main model families across the range, chassis code and series taken from the BC Racing product title. It is not all 85 models. Lower-volume ones including Ad, Pulsar GTI-R, Grand Livina, Livina, Cube, Rogue, Murano, Quest, Presage and Fuga are in stock but not listed individually below, search the full range if your car is not shown.
What to check before you order
Three things catch people out on the Nissan range.
Rear Integrated and True Rear Coilover. The Fairlady Z / 370Z (Z34) has a standard listing and a Rear Integrated listing. The Fairlady Z / 350Z (Z33) has a standard listing and a True Rear Coilover listing. The current RZ34 chassis goes further still, the Fairlady 400Z listing reaches BR, ER and ZX, while the separate Fairlady Z (Rear Integrated) listing on the same chassis is BR only. Same car, same chassis code, different product.
Rear Fork and Rear Eye. The Skyline R34 GTS (ER34) and the Stagea RB25 / 260RS (WGNC34) both split the same way, on how the rear damper mounts. Check the product title states which one matches your car before you order.
Torsion Beam and Multilink. The current Sentra (B18, 2020+) has two separate listings for the two rear suspension types fitted across the model run. Confirm which your car has.
The Silvia and 200SX
S12 through S15, this is the platform the range is built around, and the only one where every BC series is on the table.
Skyline, GT-R and the Z-cars
R32 through R35 GT-R, the GTS variants either side of it, and the Fairlady Z line from the 300ZX to the 400Z. BR, ER and ZX across the board here.
Everyday Nissans
Ariya, Juke, Note, Leaf, X-Trail, Sentra and Almera, the models that make up most of the day to day search traffic. Current generations run BR, older ones V1, check your year before you order.
More on BC Racing series
The series guide covers what BR, RM, ER, ZX, HM and ZR are each built for, and is the place to start if you are unsure which one your Silvia or your Note should be on. BC Racing series guide. For the full listing, search the Nissan range.

Final thoughts
The Silvia being the outlier in a Nissan range built mostly around family cars is not really a surprise once you think about it. BC Racing builds to what the drift and time attack crowd actually run, and the S-chassis has been the default for that scene since the S13. If your Nissan is not one of the platforms above, get in touch and I’ll check what BC Racing lists for it.
