In my state (not sure about CA) emissions requirements are ignored for pre-1971 vehicles. So the solution is to buy a pre-71 240z. OR get a pre-71 Datsun 510. Bad ass little cars.

Just a suggestion about your posts, you don't need to open up a new topic for discussions along the same thread as the original.

 

To your questions about smog, '73 and earlier are exempt from inspection, otherwise, the days of the black market certificate are gone. The DVM is hooked into the smog test stations via computer. Your certificate is transmitted electronically. Any smog test stations that are caught fudging the results lose their license. Since they all spent a pile of money to install the dyno's, you will be hard pressed to find a pirate station.

 

Do the conversion right the first time and you won't have to worry about it again.

its not a good idea to mess with the smog people

really not, i mean you might get away with it once, but every two years having to find a crooked smog, man, then try to sell that car, oh boy.

Excellent points made by Greimann and I echo his thoughts--do it right the first time and you'll never have to worry about it again. If you are so concerned about passing smog, get a '73 or older 240Z and be done with the whole thing. Otherwise, be prepared to do it correctly the first time(and only time). Buy the JTR book, read it, and do it.

 

Good luck.
