SR20DET: Can it pass California Smog? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I live in California, and I have been doing some research online. I was wondering if the SR20DET engine woule be able to pass a smog test in California. If somone could please tell me if they have had any experience with this post some information (any steps to get it legal) I would greatly appreciate it.

Another thing is would they even check it because it's not the stock engine? My friend has a 240sx, and they did not check it because he disconnected the speed govenor. He was forced to reconnect it before performing the smog check. lol i dunno seems crazy.

Cheers,
