Random Technology are the only CARB approved Cats on the market for the Z. Now that being said. If you have test pipes there is a simple way to fix it to look like the OEM cats. Remove the heat shield from the original cats and weld it to the Test Pipe. Now when the popo look under the car what do they see???

I just moved from San Diego and I was pulled over plenty. Yes even with my TT set-up. Your friend probably gave the cop an attitude when he got pulled over and that is why he got checked. I had my Z there for 2 years and never once in that whole time was I asked to even pop my hood. If you are cool with the cops, they usually dont mess with you.

 

Yes, there is crack down on all cars that look modified or suspicious of illegal modification of any vehicles. They have passed down a bill to take all racers out of the scene due to car accidents. The bill was passed down in California only. It seems to be more crack down in San Diego and Fresno, CA. Also noted a few weeks we had at least 180 vehicle citations and at least 7 were pounded, I believed. I was trying to find the Bill, but I couldn’t find it. But it is in there.

 

Eww dang, I never thought about that if you put the license on the dash instead of the bumper. Good point

 

Yep, in PA we don't get the "underbody biopsy" like you guys in CA and maybe also FL.

 

hey im living in north carolina right now and they could care less about a front licence plate. now im moving back home in about a year to the frisco bay ( im in the army right now) now ive gotten pulled over a few times without front licence plate on my old Z but is it a big thing now in cali?

 

Whew. Well, sucks for CA guys...how much are those Random Tech Cats?

 

florida has no emission OR front lisence plate laws. they dont give a shiet what you do to your vehicle. thats why my car is registered in miami ^_^

 

yeah...that's why i zip tied it on mine......(true story)

 

I personally dislike police myself but....that's a pretty ignorant statement...

 

Apparently, New Mexico doesn't even require state inspections!

 

I agree. Dip****s like the one you quoted must actually believe the police write the laws.

 

only CHP can ask you to pop ur hood local pd or sheriff cant

 

Incorrect. Depends on the level of training of the individual officer and local jurisdictional policies and where you live.

I'm not a trooper and can guarantee if I want to see under your hood, I'm gonna look. 100% legal.

 

Where did you hear that? Local police can definitely tell you to pop your hood. We have a few spots up hear where they do it all the time.

 

Florida has no emmisions laws, no inspections/certifications, and no stupid front license plates. but don't come to Florida, you want like it. We have nothing but dirt roads, really bumpy, wet dirt roads.

+1

Not so much of a dislike as a distrust, but I've seen a few, distrustful or not, do some pretty amazing and selfless acts for complete strangers. That's respectable. I've also personally known several incredibly intelligent cops that choose to be cops for the whole "helping people" bit. Though, likewise, I've known several that were seriously retarded, bigoted asshats.

 

I think you know a couple of people I work (have worked with) personally.

Like any other profession, you get all types. It is very hard to weed out bad apples, no matter how stringent you make the hiring requirements. Where I work, it takes on average 9 months to a year to complete the necessary background requirements, mental evaluations, etc. Even going through all that, it's not a 100% guarantee a sh*tbag won't slip thru the cracks.

Cops aren't grown on trees. They come from the exact same place everyone else does.

I do find it humorous that some folks look down upon police officers for doing their job though. Any other profession out there where one is chastized for doing their job? Then you get the ones who make statements such as "well, they got nothing better to do", etc. Guess what, we do what the ublic demands. If street-racing, illegal vehicles mods, etc. is on the public agenda, we get tasked with beefing up in that area. You may not think it, but alot of folks die needlessly every year. You may think you are a great driver (and maybe you are), but how do you think average Joe Citizen is going to react when you do a 100+mph flyby on their vehicle. If you don't see it coming, it can scare the crap out of you.

You may think that having your test pipes is no big deal. But imagine if every vehicle on the road had em installed. I'm no eco nut, but some environmental laws are on the books for a good reason. Plus, it sucks pretty bad when trying to get some sleep late at night and Johnny Riceburner is waking up the whole damn neighborhhood as he blasts thru the streets with his illegal exhaust.

If you want to install illegal aftermarket items on your vehicle, I won't lift a finger to stop you. But if you get caught, you can only blame yourself. It isn't the officer's fault that you get a ticket. Almost sure it's because of your own actions. Try taking some personal responsibility and quit blaming everyone else.

Have a good day

 

the Manual Book for 06 saids During the first 1200miles (2000km), do not run engine over 4000rpm.

 

unless they cng the laws a few years ago a group of us were pulled over by Carson or Long beach pd they detain us and called in CHP jus so they can chk veh emission. they may have cng jurisdiction maybe some one here can verify

 

huh????

 

I think HDPD350Z hit it right on the nose. Perhaps the cops that pulled you over had no training on what to look for hence they called someone that did. In this case, it was the CHP.
