I'm never going to pass emissions...
 

ati... resonated test pipes and borla with both of the rear resonators cut out... just moved to Cobb co... anyone know of an emissions testing center that might cut me a break? please pm

You will be fine. I passed without any problems when I had test pipes, wait I still have test pipes. We are on obd2 so all they do is plug your car into the computer and your done. As long as your not throwing any error codes your fine.

I'm glad we don't have emissions here. Not that I don't know a few people.

really? thats the only reason i thought you couldnt pass emissions was test pipes?

Lucky !

You should be fine all they do is check for check engine lights and the only way they would be able to catch on to your test pipes is if it smells like gas fumes really bad or else you should be fine.

yea if it lights up juss pay some one to pass u lol

i dont think that works anymore now it's already in the computer as they test. the tag office knows as soon as they do i think.

AS LONG AS YOUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON YOU WILL PASS

If your CEL is on and you reset your ECM it still wont pass. You need to run your Z for a good 50 miles before it reads your o2 sensors. I have a buddy of mine with this problem and has not been able to get a sticker since last year :(

I disconnect my battery, reconnect it to clear the light, drive to dealership less than 15 miles away, and it passes no problem.

I haven't had a CEL in a while(crosses fingers)... I'm going to try it out tomorrow...

if you get a cel light , get some nonfoulers for the 02 sensor on your tp. you will be able to pass with testpipes though . (hint i used to live in atl)

It passed... No CEL... thanks for everyone's input... I've been stressing over nothing...

Been a year for me.
i got fined 250$

so i had to call the counties emmisions hub area office and i have to set up a viewing for him to come and check out the car himself, i guess. Something like that then i have to get a factory drive test done then re inspect it and he will waiver my car through. I'm not failing any of the 3 codes only thing is the 3 things are saying not ready. So he thinks it's just the car's computer. Thank got, i can't wait to put my test pipe tubes back on. i miss the sound, it's been over 7-8 months without them, it will feel like getting a new part for the car again.


Sorry to jack the thread, thought i would share my misfortune, as you have. :(

damn you are lucky.

I had 2 codes, deleted them and drove for 60 miles and 5 out of 7 codes are completed. im waiting on 2 more which are the 02 sensors and evap but im scared as soon it checks those, ill get the light again. its like a never ending cycles.

I need to do the drive cycles. anyone know what the procedures are for a z.

Not sure what they are, or how they do it, but i know it's about 100$ to get done. i have to go and get it done my self after christmas. Gonna go to the nissan dealership on Hwy 21 in cornelius.....in between exit 25-28.
