#5 of 14 Re: TPMS Sensors are inside the tires [bobwish] by gymrat Jan 28, 2008 (8:12 pm)
Replying to: bobwish (Jan 28, 2008 3:22 pm) I wish I knew ahead of time that there were sensors inside the tires,cause I would have done things different.(what a pain in the &#! !!!!). Nissan needs to state this in the owner's manual. BTW, how are the sensors attached to the wheels?double-sided tape? Thanks for your input, bobwish.

Replying to: gymrat (Jan 28, 2008 8:12 pm) No, the sensors are actually a piece attached to the valve stems. So you will need to transfer the entire valve stem part over to your new wheels....either that or buy new ones.   But yes, PITA Replies to this message: gymrat (Jan 30, 2008 11:48 am) langjie (Jan 30, 2008 12:38 pm) hiwayman (Jan 30, 2008 1:13 pm)

Replying to: gymrat (Jan 30, 2008 11:48 am) ouch, that really blows, maybe you should call around and see if there are any other dealers willing to do it cheaper   http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OEM-NISSAN-Tire-Pressure-Monitors-TPMS-SET-OF-4_W- 0QQitemZ320213229724QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item320213229724   $100 shipped. you may want an extra set of sensors if you do a winter tire change. it's much easier to resync and maybe you can get someone to do it for you for free Replies to this message: hiwayman (Jan 30, 2008 1:13 pm)

Replying to: langjie (Jan 30, 2008 12:38 pm) Well, I don't know if it's any consolation to you, but the TPMS systems are going to be required on all new cars, starting, if memory serves me right, in 2009. Maybe we should invest in the company that makes these things???
#10 of 14 Re-setting the sensors by 500e Feb 10, 2008 (4:53 pm)
I had a warning light on the dash. I corrected the pressures on all four wheels. I've driven the car more than 15 mph, and the warning light has not gone off. Any ideas other than "take it to the dealer?" Replies to this message: gymrat (Feb 10, 2008 10:07 pm) langjie (Feb 11, 2008 2:25 pm)

Replying to: 500e (Feb 10, 2008 4:53 pm) I was told by the service dept. at Fairield Nissan that one needs to set the air pressure about a couple of pounds higher than normal,then drive the vehicle for more than 15-30minutes, and it should go off.I have also read in Edmonds.com that another owner had the same problem with his 2007 Altima.This might be an ongoing problem with the Altima,but I hope I'm wrong.Good luck!

Replying to: 500e (Feb 10, 2008 4:53 pm) I would say keep driving on it until 50 miles? if it still doesn't go away, then go to the dealer
#13 of 14 wheel locks? by redwood2 Jun 21, 2008 (1:14 pm)
I live in an urban area and have been urged to get wheel locks for my new NAH. Kragen says that they do not carry wheel locks for the Altima and that it's a dealer thing. Anyone have any knowledge on this? thanks. Replies to this message: gymrat (Jun 21, 2008 3:25 pm)
#14 of 14 Re: wheel locks? [redwood2] by gymrat Jun 21, 2008 (3:25 pm)
Replying to: redwood2 (Jun 21, 2008 1:14 pm) I had replaced my stock wheels with 18" chrome wheels online, I had purchased wheel locks with my new wheels. So go to any online wheel distributor, and they can assist you. But if you plan on replacing the wheels to chrome, keep in mind that it will affect your fuel consumption, because they are heavier than the stock alloy wheels.
