Cool, I imagine it will work the same on your 08, and on 09 Roadsters if anyone has one.
I see that two have sold on ebay since I made this thread, so I imagine someone else is going to try this:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from...+gauge&_sop=13
When I took the car out last night, I did confirm that everything else still works, except I didn't check the timer. The dte, mpg, outside temp, speedo all work as before. I didn't redline it in the neighborhood, but I imagine the shift light works the same as before since I was able to set it to 7500 RPMs. I am somewhat interested to see if the PSI light comes on and if the display automatically switches to the TPMS mode when there's a low tire(I believe this is how it's supposed to function).
I also saw you mentioned in another thread that Sasha(Boosted Performance) mentioned that he'd finally be producing a VQ35HR mid-mount turbo kit in the coming months. I couldn't find mention of it elsewhere, and I'm curious as to what you've heard... I might just need one.

One last update on this:
I adjusted the pressures in my tires and determined the bottom number on the gauge is the tire on the left side of the car, for the front and rear, as icer5160 said.
I set the display to show the speedometer, and then aired down one tire to less than 28 psi. I started the car, and drove for a few seconds. The TPMS light on the main cluster illuminated as expected, then the trip computer automatically switched to the TPMS screen(rear in this case), and the PSI light started flashing. The PSI light continues to flash even if you switch modes(to speedo, or air temp, etc.)
I also set the shift light RPM setting to a rather low number, and everything works as it should. And finally, I double checked that all the other functions work correctly(they do).
So, we know for sure that a 2005 center gauge will allow TPMS readings on a 2007 350z. Hopefully some others will try this and confirm that any gauges from 03-06 will work for any 07-09 350z. I think the only difference would be the default value for the shift light, but I think they all go up to 8000 anyway.

I actually had a TPMS light on in my '08 a couple weeks before this was posted. Everything I was looking at suggested going and giving Nissan some money to determine the fault.
So I got some scratched up gauges off of Ebay and polished them up- ended up swapping over my existing lenses anyway as they were still a bit nicer.
I wonder which sensor has gone bad?!
New TPMS for $73 and $23 for the dealership I work at to throw it in.
The $40 for the gauges sure beats spending the $120 at Nissan just for them to plug it up to Consult for a minute.
Enjoying the TPMS light being gone and the added feature.

$73 is a little high for a tpms sensor. I have these in my car and they work fine:
I got a set of four SE10001HP sensors for $112 a while back on ebay, but I haven't seen that good of a deal for a little while.
Just something to keep in mind. If all your sensors were the same age, the batteries should all die around the same time, so you might be due for 3 more before long.
I'm glad the gauges worked out for you.

Did you have to take the car to the stealership after installing these sensors? or does the manual reset procedure work? - TIA

When I was still using the factory wheels that came on the car, I used my Consult to figure out which sensor was bad. I bought an SE10001 sensor(old part number... buy the fresh SE10001HP). Costco installed it when I got new tires, and they were able to program it with their aftermarket tool without a charge beyond the standard TPMS service fee($5/wheel?).
Long story short... A good tire shop should have the equipment to learn the sensors, and the manual method works without a Consult AFAIK.
ETA: Also as n0smoke pointed out, you no longer need access to a Consult scanner to figure out which sensor is bad if you do the gauge swap.

Here are the pressures directly from the FSM. I've seen some different numbers floating around, but these should work fine for 07+ with the Consult 3 or using the test connector.
ETA: I see you have a 2005. I would definitely track down the 2005 FSM and find the pressure list to verify. I think they changed over the years.

I took my car out for the first time since November as the snow is now gone.
I made this change over the winter with a unit I picked up from an 05 off eBay.
After installing it I remembered that my car is Canadian and reads in kilometres, not miles(senior moment). Even though the meter says miles it does still read in kilometres, so all is well!
