Had to replace a tire!!!
Leaving work on Wednesday night my low tire light comes on. Everything looks good so when I get to work on Thursday I take it to the service department to get checked and the left rear is about 5 psi lower than the rest. I take a closer look and I could just barely see a nail sticking out of the tire just barely into the sidewall! F*ck!! So the parts department overnights a tire for me that is $280! This is all great after only have the car for a little over three months now. Already had the freak accident with the hood. 
The good news is that I took the tire to the wheel shop that I always use and they mounted and balanced it perfectly with no damage. The wheel didnt even look like it had been touched when they were done. I know some others havent had such good luck. So atleast that part turned out ok.

Which tire was it?
I've had the same problem with my 06 Z,
and my 08 Nismo...both driver's rear.
It is a strange phenomena, alot of people having
this issue with the same exact tire?
