Can my car even physically pass emissions?

[Bud Brown]

I've got an OBD1 S13 SR20DET in a 1996 240sx body.

Can the car even pass emissions if the motor was running real clean?

Won't they plug it into the obd2 tester and have it tell them no connection?

I just bought the car and did not think about this beforehand, also isn't it alot harder to bribe someone with an obd2 test because the test shows the vehicle specs, so i'd need another 240 to take my place.

lol yeah good time to make friends with someone at the inspection place..and yeah i do believe you would have to run a different car on obd2...someone correct me if im wrong

[arkive43]

i see you in conn. are the emisions really strict there?...if not just talk to the guy. in texas if ur car is obd2 they dont even hook up the smog machine.

[Bud Brown]

its not bad here, but when they plug it in for obd2, wont it show 'no connection' because there is no emissions bridge between the obd2 body and obd1 motor?

[C. Senor]

yeah if its anything like cali, if they cant make a connection with obd2 the car will fail....like they said before make real good friends with a smog shop owner or tech.

[Bud Brown]

looks like i have some calls to make, lol.

Move to a state without emissions.

i am, but thats not until next year.

[youngmanvr4]

Haha.

We have a house in texas so I say I live there but I actually have all my cars registered in Kansas (a non-emissions state). Makes it nice to do stuff to your cars and not have to worry about emissions.

[Bud Brown]

lol i should buy just enough land to put a mailbox on it in a different state.

[youngmanvr4]

Lol why not. I actually have lived in Kansas all my live but we have bought places in Cali and Texas too while still having the place in Kansas.

so heres my plan, im going to hide the obd2 plug, and get the motor clean enough to pass asm (roller) testing, play dumb and say its an obd1 car, and hopefully they will throw her on the rollers and pass her like that.

[eastcoastS14]

^^ if not slip the guy like $50:D lol or contact a local shop and find out where they send their cars....talk to other ppl that have modified cars, someone will no where to go
