Does Your Tyre Place Card Have To Be In English?

[jasont82]

hey all

got defected for my tyre place card. i think i have one but its in japanese. does it have to be in english? or are these cops just being pricks?

[Beer Baron]

pretty sure it needs to be in english. not many australia cops can read kanji or kana for that matter.

[jasont82]

how did it get complianced then? and its been road worthied twice. is yours in english?

Moved to Vic.

When your car was complianced they should have fitted a new one.

Check who did it (on the green compliance plate) and drop them a line...

[R31Nismoid]

Yep, 110% needs to be changed to an english printer spec sheet.

Should DEFINATELY have been done at compliance, if it wasnt, i'd be interested to see what else wasnt done

[dezz]

mine has 2 in english i think. 1 on the inside of the door, and a small laminated one in the glove box.

definitely speak to the compliancer, as they've pretty much done a dodgy if they didn't put an english one on it...so god knows where else they cut corners

[mr_crust]

same as dezz, i have one laminated and stuck in my glove box with all the specs, but they left the jap one on the inside of the door

[PobodY]

Yep - mine has a new placard in English underneath the Japanese one.

It's pretty simple, it just reads;

R33 Skyline - 225/(I forget all these bits) 32PSI Front, 32PSI Rear

And of course the kPa values too...

ah crap dont say that!

no wait theres one in the glove box. stupid cops or does there have to be one in the door too?

[funkymonkey]

sometime the tyre placard can just wash off, because some workshops just print it on a A4 sheet on a bubblejust and just glue it on... but i've only ever seen this done on a 15yr old import where any monkey with a spanner can comply it... I'm yet to see a SEVS workshop though.

[Rekin]

So the attached picture above is not acceptable by police?

I only have the japanese one and will probably go back to compliancer to get an english one...

Any other stickers/info i should look at?

On the passenger side door i have a Compliancer sticker with vin, some barcode, year, compliancer name etc

[funkymonkey]

as far as stickers are concerned you can get the emissions and tyre rating stickers from nissan for like 10 bucks for the pair. (if you wan "official stickers" w00t +10hp). Or your compliancer can make you up a set.

Emissions sticker under the bonnet, tyre placard on the door jamb.... although these days the compliance plate is also a sticker.

[foznice]

or I'll just take a photo of mine, and you can copy or print it if you like (r32's that is)...

[krzysiu]

Yeah it should be in english. I didnt have an emmisions sticker under the hood when and when i went to do the whole engineering cert he stuck one there for me. Also the VIN number wasnt engraved on the body so he had to do that too :|

[ThrasherII]

Depending on the car, the tyre placard can be in the glovebox like my R32.
