Today, I put on my new hyperblack 18" s and afterwards I saw a "!" near my tachometer. I was wondering why it is showing and what's up? Thanks

I believe that is the tire pressure monitor. If you put on new wheels/tires and don't change out the TPMS that light will stay on.

Okay, cool thanks. I'll swing it by the Nissan dealership and see if they can take it off. :D

if they do, keep in mind that you can get a set off ebay for about 100 bucks. if you do have TPMS in your new tires though, all they have to do is reprogram them which costs under $100 i believe

On a related question, does anyone know if G35 TPMS sensors are compatible with the Altima?

Why don't you just switch out the TPMS sensors from your stock wheels to your new rims?

Because I have 2 sets of wheels, one stock (hopefully soon to have winter tires fitted on there, and my summer ones. I'd like the luxury of keeping that exclamation mark off my dash

I don't understand, pardon my ignorance but when I took the stock wheels off, they weren't any cables connected so how does the car know about the TPMS sensors? If someone could explain this to me, I'd appreciate it.

I personally wish that I could have the TPMS sensors disabled and somehow not get the warning light; my cars been for service four times since I've owned it, and three out of the four times they have either had to replace or reprogram them. I'm not going to have a warrenty forever and at some point I figure I'm going to have to drop the dough for the repair or have the warning light brightening up my instrument panel. Maybe I'm old school but at this point I'd rather relay on the ole cheap pressure gauge rather then the TPMS sensor.

you know that every time you switch wheel sets you'll have to go to dealership and have them reprogram signal receiver, and that's like $50-100.

yes CHINAMAN confirmed it and had the dealer sync them to his altima coupe.

here are the part numbers

altima coupe = 40700-JA01B G35 03-06 = 40700 CD001

So it's not possible to sync two sets of sensors to the same car at the same time? Can somebody else chime in on that please.
