If the dash light comes on after 30 minutes then it sounds like you do not have the sensors or they are damaged. What does the gauge display that normally shows the pressure? If they were mixed up, i.e. in the wrong wheels, they gauge would just display the wrong pressure for each tire.

You need to take the car to a Nissan dealership. The dealership reprograms the sensors in a minute or two. I'm not sure what the charge is (it probably varies significantly).

I repeat… your sensors are probably viable, but they are f’d up because they are no longer in relation to their original positions. The fix is easy, but you need to take your car to a Nissan dealership where they will “wand” the sensors. It takes a minute or so, and after that your car’s TPMS will work.

How much did Nissan charge you? I called today and they quoted 130 sounds a little rediculous.

That is rediculous, it take less than 15 minutes to do it. Anything more than $50 is overcharging.

Im on the same boat. But I'm thinking that I should swap my new tpms to my oem tpms and bring it to the dealership and say something is wrong with my tpms and maybe have it reprogrammed for free?

Since the person that I bought the tpms from couldn't remember which wheel it came off of obviously I need to have it reprogrammed. I'm thinking that I should swap the tpms and then take it to he dealership to have it reprogrammed for free since I'll be covered under warranty. But in reality the tpms that will be on the car will the once I just bought. You get it now?

That's kinda what I thought you were saying. I am not certain that you can get to the sensors without partially dismounting the tire first. That would mean you are going to have to pay to get the tires dismounted/mounted. Anywho, before I would go to all of that, I would take call the dealer and see if they can do it for a "reasonable" price. I can't imagine it would take anymore than a few minutes.
