Here's an article I found on visual inspections in California. Might help those who also live in California understand the process.

^That is a remarkable feat, how in the world did you pull that one off?^

Lets get down to basics, instead of making comments like my boy ^. Just show up to one of the meets and strut your stuff there. Online any dud(e) can say whatever, when you go oldschool and show up to one of the meets and strut your stuff there, then you got a little more credibility. Until then, get yo game tight.^

If you have a 96+ OBDII car, you can either buy a '95 wreck and swap all data plates and re-register the car, or you can go KA-T with piggy-back management and have it run like crap for the rest of your life.

Or... go the technically difficult route and install a VQ35DE. Which I would do if I could find someone competent in the SF bay area that could do it.

How about in TX. My dad bought me a 240 and it came with a turbo charged blacktop S 13 SR20 det.
the 240 itself is a 96. Am i legal? the motor should be stock.

This is what i found out about TX
1995 and older vehicles will receive the Two Speed Idle (TSI) test while 1996 and newer vehicles receive the On-Board Diagnostic(OBDII) test.


ASM Emissions Test

This test uses a dynamometer, which measures emissions under simulated driving conditions. In a sense, it's like a treadmill stress test for your vehicle. This tailpipe test is a cost-effective way to get very accurate, realistic results. A vehicle will fail the test if there is an excessive amount of Hydrocarbon, Carbon Monoxide or Oxides of Nitrogen.

Please note that 4 wheel drive vehicles will continue to receive the current Two-Speed Idle test. If your vehicle fails the ASM test, you can return to the same public inspection station within 15 days of your initial test for a free retest.

Two Speed Idle Test
The Two-Speed Idle test is a tailpipe emissions test. This means the analyzer measures exhaust emissions directly from the vehicle's tailpipe with the engine idling at a high and then low speed. TSI measures most of the common factors contributing to the formation of lung damaging ground level ozone.

A vehicle will fail the test if there are excessive amounts of hydrocarbons or carbon monoxide. TSI is used for older vehicles that are not equipped with the advanced on-board diagnostic computer system.

Hope that helped. My inlaws live in valley view by Denton, They told me that there emission place just checks the horn and light things like that.

Hey I am new here but been interested in 240sx's for a while now. I was thinking of buying a 97 240 with a SR20 DET black top that is in Arizona and I am not sure if it will pass in IL. I dont think the engine has had much done to it but it has a turbo and the IL site says turbo'd cars cant pass. I would be really pissed if I brought it here and had to get rid of it. I read everything on this that I could find and nothing was really a straight answer.

bhavedikian - if you know of which P.O.'s dont test and could PM me back that would help alot or if you found a way to beat the system please lemme know.

If anyone has anymore info about this in IL please help me!

If you want a 240 with a SR in IL, buy a 95 or older. They're exempt from emission testing. So if you're really wanting a kouki S14, buy a 95 zenki and convert it to a kouki. Or you might be able to register the 97 down in southern Illinois near the Carbondale area (SIU). We don't have any kind of testing or inspections down here.

My Sr20, 1991 240, passed w/ help of a buddy/fellow Toyota tech.
Though it cost me 50 duckets.
It didn't pass at idle.
Having someone to check it and pass it is a plus.
