Thanks Houston!

Just got back from Discount Tire on Hwy 59. The reset is free but apparently the sensors on the 2009 Nismo wheels I have don't mate up to the computer on my 2011 Z. My luck.

I'll just wait and replace them with the correct sensors when I replace the tires.

I'm almost positive the sensor I have for sale is 2009-2010 but if I find out that its 2010.5-2012 then I'll let you know.

Actually you are wrong I put brand new sensors on my wheels and used this the home method and it works as advertised.

I didn't post a link b/c I was on my phone @ work, so I'm glad you could pick up the slack.

Any know if the car can recognize two sets of TMPS? I plan on putting TPMS on the Works but want to daily the Sport Rays.

I know it can hold up to at least 5 sensors. I've seen it in the system. Saw 4 of my original sensors and my newly registered one.

Just to clarify, we're saying that the paperclip trick will actually register new sensors, not just reset existing sensors.

So you've got two sets of wheels, a winter/track and a daily driver set. All 8 wheels have OEM TPMS sensors. When you swap sets, you just do the paperclip TPMS trick and the Z re-regsiters the TPMS sensors that are installed? No trip to the dealer or a tire shop needed? Just a paperclip?

If so, that is excellent!

I bought new wheels with brand new tpms and reset them with this method if I were to change to another set I would have to do it again.
