Wonder what may be involved in adding the tire pressure monitor to our 2K3. Also wouldn't mind the faster CD changer

thats a better system anyway.. counter balanced, works with all wheels, program it to warn as you wish...and the optional display gives you very good info. If I could get that optional display into the useless sunglasses holder, I would be very happy... planning on ordering when/if I rotate the tires/wheels since they have to be taken off the rim to rotate.

Re: 2004 G35 Sport Coupe Enhancements

Those of us with frequent CD jamming may get the new head units as a solution, I hope.

As for the tire pressure monitoring... it's probably just a software thing keyed off the ABS wheel sensors, and figures out the pressure differential based on each wheel's revolutions per some unit of time. That's how most car makers are complying with the federal-mandated tire pressure monitoring systems. It's a cheap way to do it, and not highly effective... as one tire has to be seriously low to be noticed, not just a few PSI off. If you keep your tires around 30-32, you'd have to have one drop below 24 before it registers. And it won't register the psi level of each tire.. it'll just have a "check tires" warning light.

This creates a problem where many people will no longer check their tire pressure, as they'll rely entirely on the tire pressure monitoring system, and possibly be riding around with a tire at 26psi for a few weeks.

If you ask me, it's one more case of the government trying to use regulatations to make up for the general public's laziness/stupidity.

Note: This does not apply if your monitoring system actually uses air pressure sensors in each wheel, such as the system sold by TireRack.

Also: I hear the 6MT Sedan is getting LSD, and the sedans are getting Diamond Graphite. [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Actually, I'm sure the TPM system will be the same system currently in use on the Z. It measures actual air pressure @ each wheel and gives you the PSI on the display. Each tire has it's own sensor, and sends signal wirelessly, like the Tirerack system posted here. Only problem, I hear with the Z's, Nissan advises against metallic film tint, as it interferes with the wireless signal.

Re: 2004 G35 Sport Coupe Enhancements

Hi! We went to test drive a coupe last week. The dealer told us the '04 AT will also be lowered to Z ground clearance and the 18" wheels w/ Brembo brakes would be an option. He said we can place an order/deposit at the end of July for delivery in mid-October or November. Hoping to get a Twilight Blue AT w/ the larger wheels/brakes and spoiler pkg. But we have a RX-8 on order that shipped on May 30th from Japan. We'll have to see and compare.

Re: 2004 G35 Sport Coupe Enhancements

Personally, I dont think there is a comparison between the RX8 and the G35. The G takes all categories, and leaves the others behind.
