The 2004 – 2006 3050Z have a tire pressure gauge integrated into the trip computer. I know that an alert will come up if the pressure is too low on the 2007 model, but my 2004 model actually told you the PSI for each of the tires. Is it no longer possible to get a read-out of the air pressure per tire on the 2007 model? Why would they take away this capability?

You might have to hit another button tochange between tires. Check your manual it might tell you.

Well, that's not what I'm getting at...the TPMS has been removed from the trip computer completely, so there's no way to read the tire pressure for any tire.

It's the same thing on my 07 Z... It just tells me when it's low but not the tire pressures...You can check page 5-3 of the 07 Z Owners Manual... It doesn't mention that you have that ability anymore to check the tire pressures, as compared to the 06 Z manual.... You're right it was a great feature. However, it was kind of redundant though. What's the point of a low-level light and pressure figures.

["Hey, the low tire light just came on... Lemme check my trip computer and... ya! there it is... one tire has 16psi... well better go adjust it"] (see what I mean?)

If the tire is low, it's unsafe and all the tires need to be adjusted and checked, regardless of how low it could be. Perhaps it's because of this redunancy, that Nissan opted to remove that feature. I guess you could speculate as to anything, short of calling Nissan Cust. Service.

Your right it does tend to be a little redundant however i really like the feature i like to know what each tires at and if they are all equil just a cool feature i guess even if it doesnt benefit the driver alot it still is really cool......and when im drivin someone around and messing with my computer everyone seems to think its pretty cool and high tech.

I will check my manuel tomorrow-er manual. It sucked when I had the light go off and I had to check each tire-I was on my way to work and time is gold-you know. That feature could have saved me 3 minutes

Not having that, like in other cars, could cost you your life
