For any out-of-staters the move to Cali will require smogging at the time of Cali registration.

The law was changed to 6 years in Jan 2005. And it applies to all new Cali smog vehicles made after 2000 , not just after 2005. Check it out on this site. Unfotunately when you transfer into the state ,you legally need to change registration and all counties in Cali reuire a smog test at that time.

Wow that sucks... oh well, I should still have the cats laying around somewhere. That should allow a turbo car to pass, right ?

Any modifications that aren't CARB (Calif. Air Resources Board) approved are illegal. Even if it passes the "sniff" tests they could fail you for making illegal changes. Many of us could/will have problems when the time comes. That's one of the reasons I've kept my stock air box even though the JWT Pop charger is CARB certified. My other intake/exhaust mods aren't noticeable or shouldn't affect the outcome.

You could possibly pass the tail pipe test, the comprehensive OBD2 test, but not the visual. There are other "resourceful" ways to get a pass even with non CARB equipment, you need to get plugged in to the local tuner community when you arrive.

GTNPUZ - thank you for those links. Are you a student at AKA ? I've read up on D.C., he seems like he'd make a sweet teacher. It would be cool to be able to go with somebody, especially a fellow Z guy =)

GQ 350z - no problem, will do. Just get me enough time to settle in and fix any issues.

G3po - will do, thanks man.
