Default Quick tire pressure dash display question

See pic below:
I know the R stands for REAR but is the top number (31) the drivers side rear tire or the passenger side rear tire? I know I got to put some air in, I think 32psi

Let some air out of one of the rears and see which one goes down.
Or check with a manual tp guage.

Thanks, I was just seeing if anyone knew. I wanted to run out on my lunch break to put some air in. I tighten the chrome valve caps with a wrench so the kids don't steal them so I was looking to save a minute by not having to do both. I guess i have a 50/50 chance

It looks like the top number is passenger side and the bottom number is drivers side. Thanks to our friends at *********.com

Yes, the top number is the passenger side and the bottom is the drivers side of the rear.

yeah, it is really a shame that they still play the childish game of editing out other 350Z websites, but that is just IMO. but yeah, you are correct with your information

The "<" display should narrow it down for you.

I can't believe they edited other sites. That's ********. I don't think I'll be comming here any more. I'm very anti censorship.

A good tire pressure gauge should confirm which tire pressure is which.

Here in New York, there are two hip hop radio stations. Hot 97 and Power 105. When Power105 plays some Biggie songs they bleep out the parts where biggie mentions Hot 97 ("Hot97 everyday that my word") -All about the Benjamin's and ("Peace to ron g, brucey b, kid capri, Funkmaster flex [**a hot 97 DJ**], lovebug starsky")-Juicy
That came to mind, I guess this website doesn't want us to remember or visit the other website. Makes sense, I guess they're not friends, they're the competition .

I guess thats a good rule of thumb...but if its the arrow in the bottom left of the OP's picture, doesn't that arrow mean that there is another screen for the function your are looking at(in this instance, a front tire readout), and to toggle between them using the bottom button? I don't have the Z with me today, so I'm not sure.

Your reading too deep into in my friend. The arrow is only pointing to the direction in which the reading is for. There is no sub-screen.

I just got back from lunch and the TOP NUMBER IS THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE BOTTOM NUMBER IS THE PASSENGER SIDE. My valve has a crack in it and I can't put air in it at the gas station I need the tire shops air hose which overs the whole valve. Which is a pain but I'd rather do that once or twice a year then to pay $100+ for a new sensor and valve.

if your valve stem has a crack in it, how did you check the pressure in it to determine that the top is the drivers side?

Im positive that the aarow on the bottom number indicates that the bottom number is for the driver side tires...

Or at least thats the way it should be... I just noticed that you have aftermarket wheels, and im sure the sensors were put on wrong, or you rotated your tires!

Top is driver's side. Bottom is passenger's side.

The arrow at the bottom of the display indicates there are more options available -- either another related screen (such as front vs rear) or a reset button (when you want to reset the timer or the MPG calculator, etc.) Basically, the arrow means that the bottom button will have an action on the current display.

Thats very possible but it just seems like the top should be the drivers side.
