Welcome Adam. Car looks great!

So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣

Yeah nice idea, you mean to suction it to the gauges? I hadn't thought of that.

So, I'll be first to admit my gauges in the BMW are a little lacklustre. I have no oil pressure and I have no water temp. Usually at the track I have these on my phone during sessions but it's small and I struggle as it is without squinting at my phone. I'm wondering if anybody has mounted an iPad on the steering column as a makeshift digital dash? Is this a thing? My tuning app will let me configure some gauges and make a dashboard and I was thinking this could be a better option than trying to make stuff out on my phone.

@couchboydid you end up getting one?

Thats too fricken cool.

That R31 was so cool. Only did Orange Park once. Scared the hell out of me.

You've definitely taken out the "most images in a single post" record! This looks awesome, I'm loving it. Its funny how the OEM movement has come back around again, I love the OEM GTR wheels on this car with that colour!

Nice, looks good. Is the roof painted or wrapped? Welcome!

Oh please, when has anybody really been "done" when they say that? 😂

But that doesn't mean I won't.

Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed! I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets. Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card. Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem. In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor. The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine. The car brakes perfectly now and no errors. I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.

I might buy a new scope actually in the morning, mine has gone a bit cloudy so was kinda useless especially as I couldn't get it in there. Might be a good first step actually.
