Does this R33 GT-R elec-TRON R1 kit include the DCU?

Yes. The DCU comes included with this kit and is required to run the Standalone configuration, since the R33 GT-R was never built with a factory electronic damping system.

How much lift does the Standalone FAL provide on this kit?

The FAL raises the front axle 25mm at the shock, enough to clear driveways, speed bumps, and parking obstacles without changing the damping setup underneath.

Does raising the FAL affect how the car drives once it's lowered back down?

No. The FAL only lifts the front axle when activated and returns to the set ride height afterward, so the suspension tune stays the same once it's back down.

Is there any manual damping adjustment on this R33 GT-R elec-TRON R1 kit?

The solenoid valve and DCU handle damping automatically, so no manual adjustment is required, but the compression and rebound knobs are still there if you want to set a manual baseline yourself.

Does this kit interfere with the R33's ATTESA E-TS or Super-HICAS systems?

No. The kit only replaces the dampers, top mounts, and front axle lift hardware, it doesn't touch the ATTESA E-TS drivetrain or the Super-HICAS rear steering.

Can custom spring rates be ordered with this kit?

Yes. Every kit is custom built to order, and custom spring rates beyond the standard setup are available by contacting us directly for a consultation.

Nitron elec-TRON R1 Coilover Kit w/ Standalone FAL for R33 Nissan Skyline GT-R

Nitron Suspension’s R33 GT-R elec-TRON R1 coilover kit with Standalone FAL solves the same problem most GT-R owners run into eventually, a car that’s been lowered enough to look and handle right suddenly can’t clear a driveway apron or a speed bump without scraping the front lip. Nitron’s proportional solenoid valve, fitted to each shock, hands damping control over to the included DCU, which reads what the car is doing at every corner and adjusts compression and rebound in real time rather than sitting on a fixed setting. Because the R33 was never built with a factory electronic damping system, this kit runs Nitron’s Standalone configuration, with the DCU included as part of the package rather than sold separately. The hardware traces back to Nitron’s R3 race platform, delivering the same broad adjustment range without asking the driver to set anything manually. The Standalone FAL raises the front axle 25mm at the shock, enough to clear the obstacles that come with running a lowered ATTESA E-TS chassis without touching the suspension setup or changing how the car drives once it’s back down. Every kit includes adjustable top mounts and race springs, and it’s custom built and fully serviceable.

elec-TRON

This kit runs Nitron’s Standalone Electronic Damping configuration, and the DCU needed to operate it ships included rather than as a separate purchase. Each shock carries its own proprietary proportional solenoid valve, giving the DCU independent control over damping at every corner of the R33 at the same time. The system reads g-load, vehicle speed, road surface, and driver input simultaneously, adjusting damping every six milliseconds, well inside the 100 to 150 milliseconds it takes a human eye to finish a single blink.

elec-TRON DCU (Damper Control Unit)

What separates this setup from a passive damper is the DCU running behind it. It reads the forces acting on the car under braking, cornering, and acceleration and repositions each elec-TRON valve accordingly, recalculating all four corners roughly every 5 milliseconds rather than settling on one damping rate for the whole drive. A control knob gives the driver access to four pre-installed maps, Rain, Tour, Sport, and Race, so the overall character is still a choice the driver makes, even while the moment-to-moment adjustment keeps happening automatically underneath it.
- Supplied with a custom or universal wiring harness
- Utilizes Arm Cortex-M4 processor
- Independent control of 4 electronic dampers
- 6 position rotary control switch or visual rotary display and control allows user to access a number of pre-installed damping maps (x3 passive and x3 adaptive)
- 2x 3 axis accelerometers
- 1x 3 axis gyroscope
- 200 Hz damping control rate
- Configured for application location and settings
- Ideal for resto-mod applications
- Fully resin bonded

The Nitron Front Axle Lift (FAL)

An R33 that’s been lowered for the right stance usually comes with a front lip that’s one bad angle away from a scrape, and most owners work out a routine of driveways to avoid rather than actually solve the problem. The Standalone FAL built into this kit removes that guesswork, raising the front axle 25mm at the shock whenever it’s needed and dropping back to the set ride height once the car’s clear. Nothing about the suspension tune changes when it’s engaged or when it’s not, it’s there for the obstacle and then it’s out of the way.
- 250W pump
- 25mm 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 passes through machining, inspection, and validation long before it’s considered finished, with each component checked individually by a trained technician rather than sampled from a batch. The modular platform behind the elec-TRON R1 means this R33 GT-R application was built around the chassis it’s actually going on, not adapted from a part number developed for another car. New materials, finishes, and processes only reach production once they’ve been proven out, and Nitron’s own engineering carries through the whole build rather than being added on afterward. That discipline is what’s kept the brand ahead of the competition, on the street and on the track.

Bespoke Engineering

Nitron’s approach to the R33 starts with the R33, not a damper pulled from somewhere else in the catalog and adjusted until it fits. Spring rates, damping characteristics, and the components themselves are chosen around this chassis specifically, its double wishbone and multi-link geometry, the added weight and load transfer that come with the ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive system, rather than borrowed from a rear-drive application and tuned close. That upfront platform-specific development is what separates a kit built for a GT-R from one that was only ever made to fit one.

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.
