The closest aftermarket thing to have a TPMS in your V35 is to buy a kit online...Forgot the name of the kit, but you'll find it would set you back around $200-ish dollars from Taiwan. They screw onto the tyre valves and have an anti-theft mechanism. The batteries on the valve units are supposed to last 1 year....

I suppose the kit works as I saw a retailer at a 4x4 place sell the same product (same brand) for $350....

Just search for [tyre monitor] on eBay...

hehehe....

or if you really got money to burn, buy some run-flats with the TPMS!!! My wife owned a Mini Cooper S in Dubai (with the factory TPMS and run-flats) and the combo worked great!

Why bother with sourcing aftermarket, just get the Infinity option!!!!!

When there's less than 75mm of rubber between the road and the lip of an expensive set of 20" rims, you'd want to know when the tyre is deflating rapidly from a punture so you can pull over before any damage is done.

not sure what size rims everyone has but low profile needs high(ish) pressure.

I keep my 18's at 38-39psi and I can normally tell if it drops by a couple of psi.

the Manufacturer always underestimates the value by about 8% and I always raise the psi by about 3 or 4 psi on 36.

I love seeing people driving around on flat tyres... until they have to stop behind me!

Having a flat tyre or tyres must handle atrociously.

just get some run flat tires if you're afraid of damaging wheels.

      Need to see other side of PCB in that area...ie; I don't see any thru-hole mounting, just soldered vias (smd zeners in SOT23 have 3 legs but only 2 are used, as reflected by PCB tracks)

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.

      Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.

      Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻
