Okay so let me ask you.

1. Do you have emissions in the area where you live, and is this where you'll register your car?

2. Do they do OBD2 scan, or tail pipe test? Cause in my area Chicago,IL, they only test OBD2's by computer scan.

And I know of some other ways to get car registered in a emission area. Lets just say at HIN Chicago there was a tagged S15 DD car.
Yes and ill figure it out next year.

They do both and regardless if you pass the specs the motor sensors do not fully communicate with the 350z knocking signals so the emissions test cannot continue.

Like i said if your worried about emissions that is the last thing you should worry about with this swap. So much BS and surprises go into this swap it gets tiring.. makes comparing putting an rb26 into a 240sx a joke.

you should sell the custom subframes/mount kit for this car cause i would buy the mounts from you to do a z33 rb swap. who did your wiring in your z33? and did the rb25 trans line up with your factory shifter hole on the body?

Hi, I am actually in the middle of ordering an RB26dett and then going with a large single turbo setup. What kind of power did you finally make with this one? I am looking to put the order in Monday, so any help would be useful. I have a 2007 Z by the way. I am looking to make 500-600 rwhp. Thanks
