At what point do the Tire Pressure Sensors go off?? Been curious about that...

yah, i usually run back to back comparisions with several of my pressure guages to ensure accuracy when i first try it out after purchase.

This one is cool, it's the SLIME version.

I had to buy a gauge for the 370 because there is not enough sidewall to employ my shoe-toe method of pressure testing.

Oh yeah -- Good day to you, Mr. Kenchan.

lol that's like the butt-dyno for tires.

blah, you dont need TPMS. i dont use them on my G or my Z. i check psi every other week or so especially when temps are changing this time of year.

1psi change per 10F change. TPMS usually triggers at 28psi which is toooooo low. sidewall damage.

juruki- nice wheels.

you will like them for sure. which offset/sizes did you get? mine are 19x9 ET38 (running 5mm spacer) and 19x10.5 ET15.

thx! I have 19x9.5 +15, 19x10.5 +15. Gonna run a 20mm spacer in the rear to make it -5 offset. Hopefully I don't have to run that much camber to clear...

Almost go nailed by a lane changer on the way home last night getting onto the highway. Slammed on the brakes and moved onto the shoulder
Almost go rear ended by a Cadilac on the way in to work this morning in the fast lane on the highway when the traffic came to an abrupt stop. He changed lanes last second and I moved over to the shoulder. He was pretty darn close.

It's a jungle out there man!

Any one have experience with QuickSilver brand car covers? How are they?

I just want a light custom fit one that repels
water (blowing snow that might get inside garage).

Time to move to a warmer climate where the lovely Z can frolic all year round!

I don't know much about that brand, but I do have one of these: NOAH®

While I haven't had a chance to use it (in storage with the rest of my household goods) the cover does appear to be very well made and looked like it won't do any damage to the paint if the car is clean. The inside of the cover feels exceptionally soft.
