hi,

i bought 4 new OEM wheels - 06 rays model.

i have 4 OEM touring 04 wheels that are coming off. rather than switching out the TPS sensors can i recalibrate the Z to pick up the new set of 4 TPS sensors myself?

if not how much does the dealership charge? or should i just go to a tire shop and break the bead and switch them out?

you'll need the Nissan CONSULT II to recal..

 

Both will probably charge you $50+ to do it. There's less risk of damage with the dealer reset as opposed to somebody dismounting and remounting wheels.

 

so, im guessing thats some kind of computer that hooks up to my car ecu or something to recalibrate it....

im guess if its in that price range im gonna go to a tire shop and have them switch my tires over and while their at it ill do the TPS sensors switch myself.

thanks so much guys! appreciate it..

Consult II is Nissan's diagnostics system. It plugs to your car allowing them to test, set and control the ECU and other systems on the Z. There's also a special remote activation unit that the dealer uses on the pressure sensors.

Not sure what you mean by "I'll do the TPS sensors switch myself". The sensors are mounted inside the wheel, they can only be swapped by dismounting each tire then remounting. It makes sense that you'd have to get the tire shop to do that for you.

 

thanks daves#3,

i think im gonna do that...i would rather have my tires than the brand new stock tires on those wheels anyways...so i figure i might as well do that instead.......
