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.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
