Sigh.......I now have to issue a failing grade to Oakville Nissan. When I picked up the Z last week, I thought to myself, "the tires look awefully low". But, because I was in a huge hurry, I just thought it was the look of the low profile tires and went on my merry way. About half way home, I noticed the low pressure light was on. Hmmmmm, maybe they are a bit low. Anyway, it's been sitting in the garage for a week while I've been away. So yesterday, I finally got a spiffy new pressure gauge and I checked the tire pressure. WTF? That can't possibly be right! No way! So I scurry back in the house to see if maybe I'm insane and Nitrogen doesnt read the same as air on a gauge! How could that be possible - pressure is pressure. But, I'm no scientist, so I better make sure. Read all sorts of stuff on the net, nope, nothing there. Get the instructions for the gauge, nope nothing there. So it appears nitrogen has zero effect on a digital gague. Hmmmmmm, so the gauge must be defective then. Back out to the garage and over to the winter beater, bang on - 35 PSI. OK, that's really weird. Over to the wifes car....32 PSI. WTF?? Back over to the Z......9.5 on 3 tires, 9.0 on the last.
Obvously, a mistake by the dealer and a step missed in the PDI process. Still to me, an inexcusable error that shows a complete lack of attention to detail on the part of their service people. I will not entrust my car to someone who makes such a mistake. Luckily, there is only 50km on the car and I caught it quick.
Annoying as hell though when you consider that dealers charge for PDI.
