Man,

Just got off the phone with the local dealer. Price for the tire pressure sensors: $495 CDN each. So, basically 2 grand for the car.

Any cheaper alternatives out there? I just bought a new set of SSR rims with Dunlop tires, and I want to run the stock rims with my Pirelli Snowsports as winter wheels. I'd have to have to run one set of wheels without sensors.

I know TCS and VDC are more important in winter - but I don't want stupid warning lights in my face all the time.

 

Check out performance Nissan. Price 234.95 per sensor.

There have even been a few listed in the Private Classified Forum for sale.

 

Man, I always thought that $234.95 is for all 4 sensors. Damn, I should of kept my. I sold them with my stock.

 

IT used to be for a set.I guess i will keep mine when i sell my rays.

 

Really, it used to be $234.95 for all 4? I don't see any points why they jack up the prices like this, stupid NIssan

 

im going to change my tires SOON! im plannig on removing them anyway since everytime i drop the psi to track psi i get that alarm sounding. its kinda annoying! make me a REASONABLE offer, and ill sell them to you.

 

I did not transfer my sensors from my stock wheels to my new wheels when I swapped them out back in December. I have never had any kind of flashing light or audible warning sound. The only thing you get is a light that comes up on the dash after about 40 minutes of driving. It doesnt blink but just sits there static.

Hope this helps, no need to waste hundreds of dollars getting something you dont need.

 

I have a set available... all 4 for $400

let me know if you are interested....

I left my sesnors on my stock wheels when I switched to my GT-7s. The low pressure light has come on twice in 5 months and it only stayed on for a few minutes. Don't worry about trying to transfer the sensors to your new wheels--just remember to check the tire pressure the old fashioned way.

 

Maybe I'm wrong here - I thought that without the tire pressure sensors stability and traction control stopped working?

 

TCS/VDC has nothing to do with your tire pressure sensors. They're just a convenient feature to have--just in case you have a slow leak or something.

 

Really?

Why the h@ll did the dealer tell me that basically everything on the car stops working without the pressure sensors?

 

Rule #1: Almost NEVER believe anything the dealer tells you. 99% of them are full of crap and you know more about the car than they do.

 

I thought rule #1 was not to talk about Fightclub?

 

There's no such thing as Fight Club.

(Good one! ROFL)

 

"They Killed Bob". lol.

 

TPS is also important if you're running expensive tires... a leak in a low profile tire may not be detected until it's too late (i.e. your tread has torn)

the price of one saved tire is worth it for you to buy a set from someone selling on this forum

 

i thought that was rule #2

 

I can sell a set of 4 for $275. Pm me if you are still interested. Mine has less than 300 miles on it.
