not to sound like a asshat but why do you need it disabled? Were you not able to transfer the sensors to your new wheel?(guessing you got new wheels anyway)

What about the TPMS light going off when you swap back to your old wheels? Not everyone wants to mount/dismount tires to get to their TPMS sensors to swap them every year. That's you working for your car, not your car working for you.

As of right now we don't have anything.

EcuTek can put the TpmS in programming mode on the GTR, but requires a handheld thingy to sync them.

I'll try and find out more tomorrow.

Anyone have a picture of the light being on?

Here's a question not many people will ask or care about BUT:

Any chance you tested fuel economy after tune? May be important to some people

I've ask a few of the guys to give me feed back.

One car said he's noticed no real change - and he's been driving the car hard

The other guys said they haven't driven the car enough.

If they leaned out the high load cells and didn't touch the stoichiometric areas, if anything it should be better for lead foots and unchanged for most people right? If you're going to change fuel economy the low load areas need to be changed. For example dropping cruise AFR to like 18:1 with increased throttle position would give a noticable fuel economy improvement (and a lot of NOx).

That was similar to what I was thinking but theory and actuality don't always meet up. Real results trump estimated math.
