Default Texas State Inspection on 2007 350Z w/2JZ-GTE Swap

Does Anyone know any way to get a state inspection on a 2007 350Z w/2JZ Swap, I obviously cant just plug it up to the State Machine because it would fail... I'm not going to be daily driving the car or anything, so I am NOT trying to kill the environment, I just want to be able to drive it to the Track or to Meets & stuff.... Let Me know if Anyone has any ideas, also does the 2007 350Z pull up the VIN automatically when plugged into the state machine?

Thanks for Your Help in Advance,
Jonathan

My Wife seems to think so as well........

Hopefully I will be able to figure this out soon, but for Now I'm using "........" until I figure it out! But it is able to drive on the Public roads right now, to meets & the track, so let Me know if there are any Events coming up soon!

If you're using a factory ECU, it should be OBD2 compliant. As long as there are no check engine lights and all of the emissions registers show as ready, you should be good to go. This is what most DMVs mean about an engine swap needing to comply with emissions systems of the donor engine.

If you're running a standalone, I got nothing.
