Buub--
The manual, as I recall, says that front and back should be 35 lb when cold. This means that pressure will increase as the temperature of the tire increases.
I also found that one of my pressure sensors reads 1 lb high. The rest are right on target. Initially I had difficulty believing that the sensors could be that accurate.

Thank You in Advance..

OK here's an **** question for you all... IF the manual says 35PSI cold, just how cold is cold? I mean if I have the Z garaged overnight and check the pressure "cold" in the morning, I might get 33 pounds, however if it's been parked outside and hasn't been driven (tires still "cold") I might get 35 pounds. In the dead of winter I'll see maybe 32 PSI...
Maybe for us **** folks (like myself) NISSAN should say "Cold tire pressure, when not parked in direct sunlight, with an ambient temperature of 72 degrees, having not been driven in the past 24hrs, should be 35 lbs...

Its simple we just wait 10-15K miles and see if the tire wear is uniform across the tread surface.
I'll bet that no one has determined whether 35 cold or 32 colder makes any difference in tire wear. However race/autocross drivers do regulate their air pressure within a pound or two to gain maximum tire traction.

"Cold" means at ambient temperature. I.e. the temperature of the tires after sitting for several hours without being driven. Taking the temp in the morning before you drive probably works best.
The pressures are actually on the inside cover of the flip-up console compartment, under your right elbow.
Yes the pressure should change as you drive around. It should go up as the tires warm up. If it's not changing much you're not driving hard enough. :-)
