i think you should download the FSM (factory service manual)
It should have ALL parts listed in there with pics.
just search for it.

Smog sucks man, good luck.

Nissan 240SX Tuning, Manuals, Product Reviews, and Original Designs (http://www.240edge.com) place where i got my fsm hm..im thinking you should bring in that diagram and show the smog tech..he is either dumb or he hasnt seen 240's probally a simply mistake visual is based on his knowledge of the vehicle so if he feels like theres a piece missin he'll fail you

ericcastro is right SMOG sucks!! GL

There is no such thing as a 'thermostatic air cleaner'. Someone lied to you.

Thermostatic air cleaner is the predecessor to EGR. Only used on carburetor setups.

Go with the Emissions diagram for your car from the FSM and go, "OK what is missing?"

Sound like the guy at the shop you went to hasn't had a CARB class since the 70's...
