i have never owned a vehicle with air pressure sensors in the wheels or valves or where they are.

im wondering do just move them over 2 a new set of wheels from the valve cap or or is there more to it?

New wheels as in season (Winter/Summer)? If so, no. Moving them that often will destroy them. TPMS valve stems are surprisingly fragile. 

If this is from an old set to a new set of wheels that will remain on the car all year round, then yes you can move them. Depending on the vehicle and year, you may have to reteach them if they change position. This can be done without any special tools on older Nissans (Jumper under dash that you ground out 5x) and does not apply to newer Nissans (They self-learn as you drive).

Yeah broadly speaking, throw the sensors on new wheels, then tell your car to do a reset/re-learn via the infotainment system. I can't recall if newer BMWs need new sensors (probably since it's "German engineered", but I hope Nissans don't.

They shouldn't require any calibration or other special handling from the tyre shop in order to be transferred to the new tyres. My R35's wheels needed to be replaced, and they were easy to do—they just transferred across!

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.

      V37 Alarm settings and what the buttons do.

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models?
