driving long distance
I realize that if i drive my Z for long distance without traffic, i get the
the exclamation mark in the left gauge
is it normal? because i looked into the manual and it says the exclamation mark is warning for the tire pressuse.
i am planning to drive all the way to vegas from LA
(about 250miles)
is it safe?

And by the way.... Yes tires do heat up when driving... even short distances... You want the min air pressure to be around 32psi on stock 18" size wheels and tires... the TPMS sensors will go off if they drop below 30PSI...
Tire pressure will go up to as high as 50 PSI at track tempretures depending on what your cold tire pressure is...
the maximimum listed on the tire is a cold pressure... the tires can handle alot more then that...
Nitrogen is used alot more commonly now since it does not change pressure with tempreture... the wheels I used to have NT03+M had 2 valve stems which were ideal for nitrogen use...

2. 03 base model's or ones with 17" wheels did not come with TPMS system
It shouldnt come on during long distances unless tire pressure goes DOWN...

are you sure, I had a light but no pressure gauge...so I put some air in to tide me over, the light stayed on....when I got home and checked it was over serviced...I let air out and light went away. But I haven't checked the documentation....anyway, is there a schematic of the system...we should be able to find a jumper wire that will stop the light from comming on for the OP
