Konig Rewinds

inark off this forum bought a set of 14" ones (pictured above) and it cost him $630 landed to his door or something. 15" may be a little more expensive. They're sold on ebay as well, but its cheaper from the forum resellers, PM inark and find out who supplied his.

Probably thinking of Watanabe RS-8's. Konig brought out their Rewinds which are pretty much a direct ripoff of Watanabes. Hell of a lot cheaper though, but noticeably heavier and they aren't the real thing. Probably good enough for most people though...

Someone might correct me, but the KPGC10 and KPGC110 GT-R Skylines both came from the factory with steel rims.

I'd suggest that , as others noted, you're looking for RS-watanabe rims, SSR RS8s, Black Racing 8 spokes, or possibly Panasports.

Nissan DID make a superlite/minilite/RS8 styled wheel as a Nismo option for HR31 skylines in the late 80's, though I doubt thats the one you're looking for (15x7 +30).

    • Also build this EH ute with 370z motor and gearbox with a couple of turbos just for fun.  
    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing  
    • I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
