what do they mean by FACE 2

I've never really known what this meant to be honest, but looking at the Rays wheels website, the Face 1's come in 4 stud and 5 stud patterns whereas the Face 2 only came in 5x114.3. They both have different offsets and widths available too.

I've got no idea though, first thought it was to do with the brake clearance of the face, but they both can be made to clear the large calipers. :happy:

cool!

wat about deep dish on the rear??????

how much???

SAU has quite a few traders who would get these wheels in brand new for you. Best to PM some of them for a price, but you'll be looking at $3k+ as far as I know. GT-C's aren't the cheapest wheels around.

The amount of dish a wheel has will depend on the width, offset and face style. Made to clear larger calipers, less dish and vice versa.

If you're asking how much the above wheels have, no idea..

Well since i have these wheels i can clear up the Face 1/2 thing. Its the spokes on the wheels, Face 1 have flat spokes that are pretty much vertical with the wheel, and Face 2 have a bit of a curve to the spokes so it kind of flares out (or is it the other way around...lol). Hope that makes sense....

What size/offset do you have and what mods were done to fit if any?

Not sure if you will have to do this but i did and it was a pain in the f***ing ass! My wheel studs weren't long enough to fit the GTC's, you could only do one turn of the wheel nuts. So had to knock them all out and put in longer ones and them grind them down a little bit so they weren't too long.....Look into that to see if you have to change to longer wheel studs.

Can't remember my offsets, but they are 18x8 and 18x9 and fit fine. with no guard rolling etc.

Finally found a "more" suitable set. 19 x 8.5 +5 dish 80mm front and 19 x 9.5 +12 dish 86mm rear. I also put a deposit down. Supplier assured that i need rolled guards 5-10mm but nothing too major. Im abit uneasy the more i look at the offsets though. Any insight as to what im in for? Any help muc appreciated

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
