I have noticed some mention of a TPMS gauge on these forums and once saw a picture of the left gauge in the center cluster (digital multipurpose) showing individual tire pressures. I have an '08 Touring and don't have this. Is this a software upgrade or can it be a mod? What trim offered this, Nismo? I didn't think it was a replacement gauge because it looked like the stock one.

2008's don't have this feature.

This feature was discontinued, 07 doesnt have it either

So it was PRE '07!? Usually features get added on as time goes on. I was thinking it was Nismo or maybe in the '09 350z roadster. Is it a function of the gauge so I just buy an older one or does it have to do with the ECU software and wiring harness? I would like to see live tire pressures for when I track my car rather than relying on the dash light coming on when its too late. Would be nice to have it as a stock option.

anyone ever try to retrofit this feature in a newer Z?

Since the meaning of TPMS didn't immediately come to mind I figured that disqualified me from trying to answer the question. But I googled it anyway.

Wiki: "TPMS can stand for any of the following:

Takoma Park Middle School, located in Silver Spring, Maryland
Tire pressure monitoring system, a safety device made to alert automobile operators when their tires are under inflated
Transaction Processing Management System, a transaction processing monitor from ICL
Triply-Periodic Minimal Surface, an unbounded minimal surface that is periodic in three dimensions. "

Now I remember what TPMS is, but still can't answer your question.

But at a guess the TPMS would not interact with the ECU and so would not be readable by the ScanGauge. But it should be easy enough to connect up the SG in the other car and see if there are any codes. If so you need to find the meaning of the codes.
