Non OBDII cars require a sniffer test every 2 years along with a visual inspection that may include Gas Cap, Evaporative System, PCV System , Catalytic Converter, AIR Injection System.

OBDII cars require a computerized OBDII scan.

If it passes the tests, they don't really care what engine it is.

I really want to run a sr, so that's probably going to be a problem right?

^Depends on the year vehicle you have. SR with OBDII can be a bitch.

Ill probably pick up a 90-93 s13 with a s13 sr. If that helps any.

The 95 zenki is actually OBDI too as well so you could still have an S14 if you wanted one..

A s14 would be nice, Im just seeing if I could run a sr in Arizona and still pass smog out there? that's my whole problem.

There is a local shop that can handle all your emissions concerns. Also it depends where in as you live. I am in Prescott and don't have to emissions test any of my cars

Sneak on over to az240sx.org and check out the meets section. There's usually something going on and there are drift and drag events at least once a month!

Depends on where you live in AZ. You can get by with any swap in AZ. In yuma we don't even have emissions testing or sniffers. Straight pipes all day.
