The closest aftermarket thing to have a TPMS in your V35 is to buy a kit online...Forgot the name of the kit, but you'll find it would set you back around $200-ish dollars from Taiwan. They screw onto the tyre valves and have an anti-theft mechanism. The batteries on the valve units are supposed to last 1 year....

I suppose the kit works as I saw a retailer at a 4x4 place sell the same product (same brand) for $350....

Just search for [tyre monitor] on eBay...

hehehe....

or if you really got money to burn, buy some run-flats with the TPMS!!! My wife owned a Mini Cooper S in Dubai (with the factory TPMS and run-flats) and the combo worked great!

Why bother with sourcing aftermarket, just get the Infinity option!!!!!

When there's less than 75mm of rubber between the road and the lip of an expensive set of 20" rims, you'd want to know when the tyre is deflating rapidly from a punture so you can pull over before any damage is done.

not sure what size rims everyone has but low profile needs high(ish) pressure.

I keep my 18's at 38-39psi and I can normally tell if it drops by a couple of psi.

the Manufacturer always underestimates the value by about 8% and I always raise the psi by about 3 or 4 psi on 36.

I love seeing people driving around on flat tyres... until they have to stop behind me!

Having a flat tyre or tyres must handle atrociously.

just get some run flat tires if you're afraid of damaging wheels.

    • Thanks heaps Duncan and GTSBoy. I'll get my old man to sit in the driver's seat and turn it on and off while I test with the meter. Or maybe other way round, depending on whether he remembers where his glasses got to
    • This is the GTR fuel pump. Yellow shows 12V, orange shows earth. The ECU provides the earth to activate the fuel pump relay. The ECU side of teh relay will pull low when the ECU activates. This is the RB20 fuel pump. Almost the same, but a little simpler. You can see I indicated (above) where the 12V line goes down to the RB20 diagram on the overall diagram, whch shows both RB26 and RB20. This is where I show it coming in on the RB20 diagram below. You can see that the dropping resistor is handled differently. When the fuel pump control is not providing earth to the pump, the pump earths through the dropping resistor and thus runs at lower voltage (some is wasted over the resistor) and runs slower. I showed that "not 12V and not quite earth" portion of the wiring in a paler orange. The rest of the wiring that I did not colour on that little section below the pump would be orange when the fuel pump coontroller is providing earth. This drop is handled inside the fuel pump controller in the GTR. Regardless, you can see where 12V is supposed to be, where earth is supposed to be. The key on prime is via the ECU providing the pump for only a few seconds the switching off. You should be able to see that happen.
