oxfordlad Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Just noticed this morning once at work one of rear tires looks abit low/ almost flat but no warning lights in the car. I thought the 370Z came with tyre pressure warning lights or am I mistaken? Gutted could mean a new rear tyre and only after 2200k on the clock!!!! Quote
Ekona Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 The 370Z has a TPMS? News to me. Have you tried pumping the tyre up? Quote
oxfordlad Posted November 2, 2010 Author Posted November 2, 2010 The 370Z has a TPMS? News to me. Have you tried pumping the tyre up? will do that at lunch time.... just saw in the 370Z manual about tyre pressure warning light.... Quote
cmck13 Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Have you tried pumping your eyes up (morning after the night before etc etc). Quote
Ebized Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Think you will find that is another option the UK market does not enjoy (like the fact the mnaual says you can raise and lower the windows with the key fob, but you can't here). All to do with the ECU changes when the UK alarm/immobliser is added I believe. The good news is that the tyre pump supplied with the car is pretty good, but check the valve isn't leaking and if not that sounds like you picked up a nail or something Hopefully in a repairable part of the tyre tread.

oxfordlad Posted November 2, 2010 Author Posted November 2, 2010 great to hear the pump works fine....I assume you just plug it into a powr jack in the boot of the car?? I hope its in a repairable place, having done an online search I don't think anywhere in weymouth stocks tyres in the sizes for the Zed's rear!! oh what fun.....at least in wasn't monday morning Quote
Ebized Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 great to hear the pump works fine....I assume you just plug it into a powr jack in the boot of the car?? Just use one of the cig sockets - either the one in the central storage cubby by your elbow or the one next to the pasxenger glovebox. On my pump guage the reading at 2.4 bar is more like 33psi when checking with a more accurate guage so you might want to check the readings Quote
oxfordlad Posted November 2, 2010 Author Posted November 2, 2010 well what a lovely 3" nail just next to my side wall...... well new tyre already, must be a record, 6 weeks 2.2k miles Quote
Chris`I Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 well new tyre already, must be a record, 6 weeks 2.2k miles Someone will have you beaten on that, trust me! As Colin says, TPMS is for the US market, not sure if anywhere else gets it. In the US I think they may be mandatory now which is why they get them as standard. They wont waste their pennies on us over here if they arent required by law Quote
Will370z Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 great to hear the pump works fine....I assume you just plug it into a powr jack in the boot of the car?? Tut tut what happened to the good old fashioned foot pump. Things are too easy nowadays. Quote
wizardofoz85 Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 well what a lovely 3" nail just next to my side wall...... well new tyre already, must be a record, 6 weeks 2.2k miles Sadly I do have that one beaten. 3 weeks and about 600/700 miles and I had a nail in my front offside tyre. I was exceptionally happy with the cost of a new tyre so soon after putting down the money for the car. Quote
Aust350z Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 well new tyre already, must be a record, 6 weeks 2.2k miles As Colin says, TPMS is for the US market, not sure if anywhere else gets it.
