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,

i changed my rears as they didn't have the markings.. in the end the tyres I bought didn't have the E-rating markers either, but they were sold locally.. lol.. engineer passed them without any fuss.  

but this was up in QLD

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.

hmm.. i dont think my slicks will make it thru tho :wassup:

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.

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
