*Note from the authors:
Those type of cars usually used very stiff springs that, to maintain a good contact with ground, were coupled with some tender springs. To simulate this in AC, I used the equivalent rate as main spring, that cannot be changed since it has a non influencing variation, and I let you choose the "main" rate with Bumpstops. So change them accordingly to your driving style because they have a quite big impact on handling.
Primera adopted 3 ways dampers all around: 2 for BUMP (High and Low speed) and just 1 for REBOUND so you'll find just 1 rebound bar in setup because High and Low speed are overlayered as their description will. In general you want to increase REBOUND when you increase the relative spring rate or when you want to increase the stability on that corner/axle. Remember that dampers only act on transient so expect some changes on turn in mainly.*

The Nissan Primera P11 GT was soon prepared to race starting with JTCC in 1996 till the BTCC in 1998. It was designed by Ray Mallock Limited, and had quite a bit of success in the BTCC between 1998 and 1999. In 1998, David Leslie and Laurent Aiello dominated, winning most of the races in the championship for Nissan, with Aiello being crowned champion. Privately owned Primera, fielded by Matt Neal, won the independent cup in 2000.
Under BTCC evolution it had the famous SR20DE engine tuned to peak power around 8500 rpm where there was the limiter for regulations. Much effort was given to the suspension design since in 1999 they couldn't take the 4WD version to race and so they had to use the rear multi-link beam axle instead of the McPherson. Beside that, within the opponents, the Primera had one of the worst drag coefficient; so, to maintain a good aerodynamic efficiency, in race trim it had one of the less effective rear wing. However a very well shaped front wing assured the car very good handling and stability.
