So, I've got to smog the z in late November. In my forum search I've seen others with mods pass CA smog without much issue. My main worry is with visual. My Kinetix manifold doesn't exactly look like stock and I don't really want to replace with the stock manifold as it might affect the smog readings since my ECU has a TechnoSquare re-flash (mightl run too rich with stock manifold).

Anyone know of any smog testing places in LA where the visual isn't a big issue?

Should I just buy the Motordyne spacer for the stealth look?

Just looking for friendly advice.

 

well i would just say you should PM for this type of thing. or ask someone in person that maybe had to go to a similar place...i know what you're going through but public forums honestly aren't the place to ask for this. not trying to kill your thread either...but it's for the common good.

 

I might know someone who may be able to help you out depending on your situation.

 

I'm sorry but I haven't live in SoCal for a long time. Are emissions stations doing visual checks now?!

I'm boost'd with the PowerLab kit and I'm running so CATs on my Nismo S-tune. I'll probably have a built engine by the time I return home (to Cali). My Z is primarily for the track but I'll eventually need to renew my California registration. What can I expect as far as being boost'd in SoCal?

BTW, I'll be in LA.

 

if anyone needs smog help let me know. I don't have a lot of feedback on here but I do on other forums

 

Where you located... I went to this one guy in Rosemead area. And tool him like 10 mins to do mine. Didn't care to pop my hood open or anything. Just popped in the ecu reader and did his thing then Done.... Payed like 40 bucks...

 

Old thread but I ended up getting a good PoC and can help anyone out. PM if you want his contact info.
