I thought they were just cosmetic. Crikey! Better not let it get out or no R35 will be safe on the street!not looked on fleabay,even though they cost a fortune i would on put eo parts on anyway.its where nissan are making their money on the GTR
Well if it's anything like the Corvette system, the actual sensor is inside the wheel, but the valve stem is an integral part of it and acts as the RF aerial to broadcast the reading to the car.
It's not nickable from the outside!

Talking or tyres and valve's and sensors, does anyone have a "slow" to read sensor ?? My off side rear does not "warm" up as quick as the other 3 and gives me the run flat warning light but after some "spirited" driving comes up on the MFD and all is ok with the world (and me and my car!!)

... same issue happened to me as Wheely ... front passenger valve snapped off as end of it had fused with the dust cap ... whilst the dust caps are very smart they're not fit for purpose and at £170 plus the vat per valve maybe people should think about replacing the dust caps ... I've replaced mine now.
To make matters worse, I've had a problem with the drivers valve losing pressure since the day I picked the car up. Despite extensive discussions with Nissan Customer Care about this issue they've refused to acknowledge it or do anything to assist. The garage that fixed the broken valve have confirmed that there is a definitely a problem with the driver's valve. Hopefully Nissan CC will take matters more seriously now ... you never know !!! Otherwise that will be another £200 down the toilet ...
Only prob is that as I had to get the valve replaced by a local independent, they have not been able to sync in the new valve with the cars system so tyre is still showing as coming up as flat ... therefore I'm going to have to make another trip to Oxford to my nearest HPC to get it synced ...
Despite all this I still absolutely love the car ... magnificent ...
