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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
