That sounds like an awesome project... I guess as long as you slap NOS stickers, cops will think they're just a new model of NOS. Or put Lexus decal or badge on it, then say it came with the car.

Don't put any danger, caution: explosive device, biohazard sticker and we should be ok.

I'll be sure to build one when I swap out my rims... Then build a aluminum mount like the real NOS systems and add in steel braided hoses.

I would also add a tap like a real NOS, but I'm afraid people might turn open the tap and let out the air...

 

This is an awesome thread and deserves a recall. I am doing my own pipe bomb!

 

Is there anyway you could sync the tpms sensor yourself?

 

Not that I know of. The codes for each sensor have to be inputted into the car's system, unlike some other cars that can just read the codes automatically as the car is rolling.

Originally only the Lexus or toyota service techs could do it with their computer (I believe the program was techstream???), and it required that the codes be written down and manually input.

But, I believe in later years Lexus/Toyota did some updates where the sensors could be "read" by a computer from a close distance, but still had to be stored in the car's computer via a person/software, not automatically by the car.

Also, I think some independent tire places like discount tire may be able to do it now with aftermarket software??

 

Very interesting thread, I might have to try this.

 

Got mine done after about 6 months the light came on lost 13psi in the pipe which isnt bad.

 

good alternative for those who don't want to spend more and keep their nice aftermarket wheels.

 

is this just for show? Or does it serve some purpose?

 

Gets rid of tpms/warning light on dash that comes on with aftermarket wheels (when tpms from stock wheels are not transferred)

 

If I take off the original tpms sensor from the wheel I wouldn't have to resync then right?

 

correct

 

I just did mine for some reason it didn't reset? Do I need to drive it for it to reset itself? O yea I didn't put back the valve stem in the sensor could that be a problem too?

 

^ it will reset itself

 

correct me if i'm wrong and would appreciate it if we already had a thread on this suggestion-my question is do our spare tire/donuts can have tpms?just an inquiry-to solve some problem on this thread

 

Spare tire's do not have TPMS.
