Thanks!
Are they easy to change? Or do I need to take the car to a shop? Where is the best place to get the sensors? I searched online. They seem to cost $100 each. :(

Just ordered the scanner too.
For $21 it saves me from driving there and potential hassle. Last time I was at AutoZone (this is in SF bay area in CA) they didn't scan it for me.

325 is definitely under powered for such a heavy car. The 330 got more mid-top end power than the Maxima but lacks a bit in the low end. It could be my Maxima is 5-speed and 330ci has a Steptronic.
