Obd Readers.... my days we used to lick the dipstick and smelled the gas coming out while listening for random clunks.

I use a $15 ELM327 and it works fine.

MikeUCFL · 11-14-2013, 11:21 PM

I use a cheap 20$ bluetooth ELM327 as well. I hooked it up to my factory nav using an mk808b (mini android device), HDMI to RGB converter, and the Torque app. Would be nice to have a HDMI to GVIF adapter for a better display, but those suckers are 200$ or more.

The torque app works wonders with diagnostics. I have ran down vacuums leaks in my wife's car, and a bad fuel injector on my friends wrx. But I only used dash command on my PC for data logging. So that is unknown territory for me. I can screw around with it tonight though.

I had a set of TPMS from a set of base model wheels I had installed in my new wheels, now it's throwing the light

cruzthepug · 07-30-2014, 08:22 AM

I've been running on my race wheels (no TPMS) for a couple of weeks waiting on my new wheels. I thought it would re-set when put on my new wheels with sensors, maybe not.

IIRC, there still has to be something done with the TMPS's to get them to communicate with the car. They can't just be swapped/installed and good to go.

I'll ask my buddy that did my wheels when he's awake. Still way too early for anyone here.

Except the me...

wow, that sucks. on my dd i run 2 sets of wheels one set with and one set without tpms tx. i just have to drive it around the block with the set with tpms and the system resets itself.

another reason why im glad i dont run tpms on my Z. that would just drive
me insane.

i put a circle e-tape over the lamp.

hummm...

maybe the tireshop broke the transmitters on cruzthepug's wheels...

cruzthepug · 07-30-2014, 01:00 PM

The TPMS I had put in my new wheels were from a base model set of wheels I bought used, didn't come on my car. I don't remember them throwing the light the couple of times I used them before removing the TPMS, maybe they did. I think I just need to reset everything so the will start communicating.

Had a issue with my local Wheels Works.. They had a broken light to re flash
the tpms. Went to my local Nissan dealership.. Reset for free. Problem gone....

hummm.. tpms needs to be paired (sync'ed?) manually to the car so not sure how the wheels that weren't on your car from factory paired to the system.

That's the thing, I'm not sure now after putting on the new wheels that they did work before when I had the wheels on my car. I guess I just didn't notice the light. Only had them on while doing some autocross events, so really wasn't looking at the dash like I would have been just driving around town.

Now they need sync'ed

kenchan · 07-30-2014, 01:12 PM

btw, are those tpms from a '13 or '14? cause i read nissan changed the tpms since 2012 or something. i dont remember which model year.
