Tire Pressure and Downtown Nissan Dealer
Hey guys, I took my car in today because the tire pressure sensor light came on...my first question to you is what should the tire be inflated too? I own a 2005 base model.
My second issue is the Downtown LA dealership. Ive always been suspicious that they are trying to scam me when I bring it in for service. When I brought it in today the guy kept pressuring me with regards to some oil issue 350's have been having (which I think is complete BS). Has anyone had issues at this dealership? Also, where do you guys go to service your cars in this area? I hate getting anything done to my car because I dont trust anyone who works on it. Im not
too knowledgeable on the inner workings of the car, but I love my Z and dont want to get screwed by these mechanics...

Id say 35psi is a good average psi to keep the tires at. If you want better gas mileage and dont really push the car in terms of handling you can try 40psi, or f you want better handling and dont care about gas mileage you can try 30psi

you've been a member since dec 04 and you dont know the answers to these questions?? goodness.
35psi is the factory recommendation for oem wheels/tires.
performance nissan in duarte and west covina nissan in west covina consistently get the thumbs up from forum members. and a few thumbs down but.. no one's perfect.
if the tire pressure sensor starts flashin at you.. check your tire pressure when your tires are cold [driven less than a mile, not over ~30mph] for general every day driving, 35psi all around.

35psi definetly on stock wheels. I got new rears 2 weeks ago and forgot to check the pressure, I knew they wouldnt put in 35. My car has been sort of all of over the road since I got them, I figured because they were rock hard since they summer tires and I prolly needed an alignment. I checked today and they were at 40. I fixed the pressure and the car is back to normal and grips a lot better. I would be on a busy 2 lane highway and the car would just follow the different grooves and the steering wheel would be constantly moving.

you can just take your car to a local gas station with a tire pump machine and pump it yourself instead of taking it to a dealer. A local gas station next to a 7/11 in my area has one and its 50 cents to use.
