Does the FAL affect the suspension tune or damping setup in any way?

No. The lift operates independently of the damper setup and does not change spring rates, valving, or ride height when not in use. Once the front axle comes back down the car behaves exactly as it would without the FAL fitted.

Why is the front spring rate significantly stiffer than the rear on the R35 GT-R?

The R35's front mid-engine layout places significant weight over the front axle. The spring rate split reflects that weight distribution directly; the front runs considerably stiffer than the rear to keep the chassis balanced and responsive under load rather than pushing wide through corners.

Nitron NTR-R1 Coilover Kit w/ Standalone FAL for R35 Nissan GT-R

The R35 Nissan GT-R sits on a platform with genuine motorsport capability, and the Nitron NTR-R1 Coilover Kit with Standalone FAL is built for drivers who want to get the most out of it without the daily compromises that come with a lowered car. Precision-engineered combined 2-way damping adjustment drawn directly from the R3 race platform shares core components with a kit built for professional competition. The included Standalone FAL addresses one of the more practical challenges of running a lowered R35 on the road, raising the front axle 40mm at the shock to clear driveways, speed bumps, and parking obstacles without affecting the suspension setup or the driving experience once conditions return to normal. There’s no remote canister to package around, and every unit is individually hand-built with ultra-low friction components that deliver consistent, fade-resistant damping from the street to the circuit. Hard-anodized titanium finish parts and high-grade materials keep corrosion out and weight in check, and with each kit custom built, custom sprung, and fully serviceable, it’s an investment that holds up well beyond a single season.

The Nitron Front Axle Lift (FAL)

Running a lowered R35 Nissan GT-R on the road comes with a familiar set of frustrations; steep driveways, speed bumps, and parking lot ramps that sit just low enough to make every approach a calculation. The Nitron Standalone Front Axle Lift system is built around that specific problem. With 40mm of lift available at the front axle, it clears the obstacles that lowered ride heights make problematic without requiring any changes to the suspension setup and without affecting how the car performs once you’re back on the road or circuit. It’s a practical addition to a performance suspension package, not a compromise of one.
- 250W pump
- 40mm lift height
- Typical lift time under 3-seconds
- Audible in-cabin warning system
- Switch with built-in warning light
- Auto off function
- Protects your car from damage caused by steep driveways and speed bumps
- Compatible with a wide range of suspension setups

Unique Technology

Every Nitron shock starts with precision components that have been through a thorough design and development process before they reach final assembly. The modular construction gives engineers the flexibility to tailor each application properly, without compromising how individual parts are made or how they perform together. Components are machined to tight tolerances and inspected one by one by trained technicians as part of a strict quality control process. New materials, finishes, and processes go through extensive validation before adoption, with Nitron-specific technologies integrated to produce shocks that genuinely outlast and outperform competing options on the road and track. That standard of engineering is what Nitron’s reputation is built on.
- Basic Damper Design:
  1. End Eye / Top Mount
  2. Damper Piston & Shim Stack
  3. Shaft / Rod
  4. Floating / Separator Piston
  5. Suspension Oil
  6. Compressed Nitrogen Gas

Bespoke Engineering

Nitron doesn’t pull a generic damper off a shelf and adjust the valving to fit the R35 Nissan GT-R. Every application goes through a dedicated development process, with components, spring rates, and damping characteristics engineered specifically for the platform in question. The geometry, weight distribution, and suspension travel are factored into the design from the start, not compensated for after the fact. It’s the difference between a kit built for the R35 GT-R and a kit built for a category of cars it happens to fall into.

That depth of knowledge across both the technical and competitive sides of motorsport shapes every product Nitron develops.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
