Simple....have two sets of wheels(Track & Street)....instead of dealing with tmps light when one or the other is on....do this so you can leave sensors in the car no matter what wheels and tires you have on so the light doesn't come on.

I've wondered about using one of the TPMS senders instead of buying another stem. Only thing I can come up with is the curve of the sender (to match curve of wheel) prevents a good seal. Just a wild guess. |
People have been doing this for years, here's one from club lexus where they use one of the stems as a valve for the bomb.. also doesn't include any kids in bathtub pics.. (not sure why OP needed to post that)

We been doing this on the Power Wagon forum since '08. ;)
This is the first one I made. Now the sensors sit in a stainless pipe that is TIG welded on both ends. :D |

You can if you want to. Dozen ways to do this. You could drill 4 holes or 1 use all the sensors or 1 or none. Doesn't matter, easier to install a stand alone nipple and through the 4 sensors in the pipe.
Point is to pressurize all 4 sensors to get the dash light to go off. Or pull the dash apart and cut the light. :tiphat: Also good write up by Baer383 http://www.the370z.com/wheels-tires/...self-free.html . |
Its a great idea...might scare the living **** out of any officer who saw it...but good stuff lol
|
you guys really do put in a lot of effort for that one light. :D hahaha.
on my dd i can't turn off dynamic stability control with the tpms light illuminated.. for that car this would be great, but i heard it wont work as the sensors dont wake up while stationary. :( |
Already using it on a Lexus.. Works fine..

I must say Surfdog, that's the first time I've ever seen anything like that to get rid of TPMS warnings! Very impressive. Just a common sense solution taken to a technical extreme. I bet a hermitically sealed container like that would last at least until the batteries in the TPMS run down.
Downright ingenious. Cute kid too. I think you've started something. |
Surfdog, did the light go out after you drove the Z for a block or 2? Or did it stay on? I know if my light is on. I put air in the tire. I have to drive about a block for the light to turn off. Wondering if it a preset distance the car has to go, or a number of wheel revolutions to get the light to turn off?

Might be a stupid question, but why dont you want the tpms anyways?
