Hi

I want to keep the tyres that I imported my car with as they are in good condition etc, but im not sure if they have the correct Australian rating. The only markings I can see is a V4UY on the 255's on the rear and a V40L on the 235's on the front. As well all tyres have a really small circle symbol with a squiggly line going through it.

Also my tyres are all the same brand/version but these markings are only on the left side tyres and not on the right. Is that gonna be an issue?

Cheers,

Dane

EDIT: actually now that I look closer it might just be that the tyres are on the wrong way on the right hand side - so the markings are on the inside sidewall of the tyres.

At least 4 tread wear indicators,

The tyres fitted to a 15 year old car and the old ones off your SEVS car need a few things,

Tyres fitted comply with DOT or E mark specifications,

All tyres fitted to the vehicle of the same type of ‘Carcass’ construction,

Rims are marked according to ADR 24,

That scribbly circle is a j/s marking which I have been informed. has only recently been accepted as a valid tyre standard in Australia.

My car passed through inspection with Jap Tyres all round. No E or DOT mark to be seen. They have a JIS stamp and they deemed that suitable.

This is for WA so might vary from state to state.

JIS is Japanese Industry Standard and by itself is not sufficient to certify in Victoria for 15yo. Some tyres have a combination of JIS, DOT and or E marking. the latter 2 are the minimum requirement here in Vic.

Still others are ok if complied on the dotars site under manufacturer, so in the end - leave it to your engineer.

      And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.

      Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.

      I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.

      Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.

      I installed it all myself,  It was really easy to install.  I got a professional to do the degas/gas.
