Briguy280Z Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Many said it wasnt possable and even the referee. But today i successfully completed a LS-1 280Z engine change Referee Inspection in California. It was farly quick but i'll tell you how it went. First I sat down with the Referee and he asked many questions about the equipment and i told him it was basicly a stock 98 Camaro. Then he asked about ABS and i said NO. Then we went out to the shop to test it on the dyno and wa-la passed with flying colors....CLEAN! We went back and completed the paperwork with no more mention of ABS or anything. Went to DMV Registered the beast and got my plates....WHOOT. Here is a bit of proof It is possable to complete a California LS-1 Engine Change and i have the proof I would like to thank Hybridz.org, Speartech.com, LS1tech.com, Electro-Tech.com (help with Fuel Guage Circuit), Jeromio, Maichor, Phantom, Brad454, Summit Racing, Autometer, AutoTap, my Father and everyone else for there support.

mas28O Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Congrats Briguy280Z, I had to take one of my cars down to the Referee after I did a motor swap on one of my cars. It is not as hard as some people make it out to be. I would like to know how you got away with the ABS. I want to do a LS1/6speed swap into a 93 RX7 very soon so I will be down the same road.

80LS1T Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 8) Thats great to hear! I bet Cyrus wishes he would have kept his now! Oh well hes got a nice little project now! This has probably been asked but whats the deal with the ABS stuff? I understand the having to have all the emissions & OBD2 stuff but ABS? That has nothing to do with clean air......does it? Last time I checked it didnt! LOL Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
