Have swapped out my HRE wheels (which have the TPMS installed) for the stock wheels (which don't have the TPMS installed) about a week ago and have been driving around since.

one of the tpms sensors in the HRE wheels is damaged and always throws an alert

I am not however generating an error code for the set of stock wheels which do not have any sensors which I find unusual (not complaining)

what does everyone get when they put on their wheels without the TPMS normally?

i believe it only checks for the presence of the TPMS sensors periodocally. ie. it will not throw an error straight away. one possibility is that you fit the new wheels, go for a 15 minute drive, park it back in the garage afterwards (where your OEM wheels are presumably) and in that time it communicates with the sensors on the OEM wheels stacked near the car. you then go for a drive again, then come back, it "resets" again. just a possibility. the other possibility is they are working fine (i hope so, because if so, i will be getting a set!)

what is odd though is one set of wheels driven for a week now has no TPMS. I might be away from home for 12 hours or more on occasion and have driven for a couple of 20 min trips in the meantime.

you are corect though in assuming the second set is close by, maybe 5-6 m away from the car.

I take it if I got a second set of tpms for the track wheels that these would have to be paired up with a consult III and that tpms sensors are not swappable in the way that different bluetooth devices recognise phones in order of preference and availability? I am not sure exactly how they work and neither are the boys at my dealership.

Anyone now of a cheap place locally for TPMS by the way? I know of an ebay international vendor that sells them but wondering if any available locally

if i were to drive to the track with 18's i get the error yep.

however if i swap them on at the track (with the OEM wheels in the garage at the track) i dont get the error (because of the reason mentioned above). frequent visits back to the garage (where the OEM wheel/tyres are) tricks the system into thinking they are on.

is there any chance that your error you are getting with the TPMS sensor needs a reset, and the system isnt throwing any more errors until that is rectified?

hmm, will see. week and a half with no error. the error code from the faulty tpms in the separate set of wheels in the garage used to come on daily, now none. That sensor was not installed correctly and was found free, rattling around in the wheel for a week until I could work out what the sound was so I think the error is due to physical trauma.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
