its an admirable direction, but i think your plan is a bit ambitious. good luck. if you can make this happen, i'd be willing to spend a few hundred bucks on it.

There you go, now this'll happen in no time!

tknbkthrsdy4anfg · 02-14-2007, 07:05 PM

LoL dougle. I'm writing a project proposal now for delivery on monday.
I am not sure if having a stock versus modified SR is going to matter, but it probably will.
Also those of you that kept your evaporative system intact are going to be better off.

***S14DB*** · 02-14-2007, 08:46 PM

I would have to think the S14 SR has a simpler Emissions system. But it doesn't use the same emissions as the KA. Where as the S13 SR/KA seem to be more similar. Would this make a difference in the difficulty to certify?

tknbkthrsdy4anfg · 02-14-2007, 08:50 PM

Thats what I need to find out, my boss said it wouldnt be that hard, becuase the SR is cleaner tailpipe wise

cmcdougle · 02-14-2007, 10:01 PM

This is awesome. I just can't get over how awsome this is. +reppage going on.

!Zar! · 02-14-2007, 11:16 PM

I'm willing to pay $1.5k for the requirements to drive my car on the street.

Not that I'd want to. But it'd make getting to/from the track easier without having to tow.

tknbkthrsdy4anfg · 02-14-2007, 11:20 PM

ZAR! Thats the spirit, but what happens if u break something?
lol
um, hopefully its going to be less then that much.

cmcdougle · 02-15-2007, 12:26 AM

It shouldn't be that much. Really all it is is going to state ref or whatever to get your car legalized, right?

tknbkthrsdy4anfg · 02-15-2007, 12:38 AM

I think you can ask anyone here, its not that easy

tknbkthrsdy4anfg · 02-15-2007, 12:47 AM

Hey guys thanks for the support I have 16 people that have emailed me so far including some of the leaders of zilvia, keep 'em rollin in, the more the merrier!

If it was this thread would be pointless and everyone would have legal SR's and RB's

exactly, no one would post about this issue.

cmcdougle · 02-15-2007, 12:30 PM

Well, I mean, after we can get it legalized, then we just have to go show them our cars, right?

StaticX27 · 02-15-2007, 12:41 PM

After it's legalized is the difference of having to swap the motor to ref vs taking off your bolt on parts to ref it.

You'll get puleld over, but you just show the cop your certificate of legalization and you're done. However he can still write you up for that huge ass turbo sticking out, but IMO, that's easier to take out than it is swapping in your stock KA

Ameer · 02-15-2007, 12:45 PM

I Agree With Staticx27

tknbkthrsdy4anfg · 02-15-2007, 02:53 PM

Werd boltons are waaaay easier then a whole motor.

tknbkthrsdy4anfg · 02-15-2007, 03:13 PM

Ok guys I just thought of something, this certification wouldn't apply to just California, any state that has a visual inspection as a part of their smog test would need it right?
I dont know what states have visual inspections besides California, anyone know?

Wei240 · 02-15-2007, 05:19 PM

probably, but your boss would probably know alot more,
zilvia does not represent every single state in the u.s of a

because as we all know, only cali matters, haha,
you're in cali, so work on california first

Sidewayzzz · 02-15-2007, 06:29 PM

I believe any places that requires emissions, requires a visual inspection of at least a functioning EGR / Gas Cap / Evap Canister / Cat.

kouki_s14 · 02-15-2007, 06:44 PM

if this all goes through, you will be a legend to the 240 community
hope it all works out, for everyone's sake

tknbkthrsdy4anfg · 02-15-2007, 07:54 PM

I hope it works out too, legend, lol I only have 75 posts!
But I think it would be amazing for the community

Psycho 240 Freak · 02-15-2007, 10:25 PM

If all this goes through. You'll definitely be in the history books. LOL, I can hear a documentary on 240's years from now. Narrated by Morgan Freeman, "It was Joseph Gordon aka tknbkthrsdy4anfg, who made it possible for the thousands of 240 enthusiasts!"

tknbkthrsdy4anfg · 02-15-2007, 10:34 PM

Im working on it, I think it would be good for all of us

***S14DB*** · 02-16-2007, 09:23 AM

I would also want to look at exceptions for states that have OBDII emissions. My dad just goes to the inspection station and they plug into the OBDII connector. No codes and he is on his way. You may have a problem with 96+ 204sx.

tknbkthrsdy4anfg · 02-16-2007, 11:57 AM

Hmm... good point, I had no idea that there was even such a test, where is that?

tknbkthrsdy4anfg · 02-19-2007, 04:01 PM

Hey everyone, any one else have numbers from a smog test with their SR?
I would love to have more evidence to support my cause.
Also, I think this project is going to have to be in phases, SR first, RB second. I learned that the cert on the RB25 is no longer valid. Also its a huge undertaking to cover so many variations of motors at once. Sorry surfer and others.
EDIT: Also thank you to StaticX, Drift Freaq, Yuri, and everyone else that has helped!

!Zar! · 02-19-2007, 10:04 PM

I'll try and scan/email you with a few smog sheets from various sr's that were smogged and passed.

Right now the what should be most important to you is a stock sr...
