question for massholes

[nissan~240sx]

inspection sucks in MA and i just wanted to know if u guys knew if i would fail inspection if i did this **** to my car

sr swap

gutted interior

no third brake light

no carpet/insulation

crack in windshield

P.S. all of this has been done already so hopefully im hoping not to fail....

[eazye2000]

I'm pretty sure you wont pass, unless you know someone. Or if the inspector is just ignorant.I heard that late this year, or early next year they are doing away with a few things for the OBD I cars. I'm not sure how much is changing, though. I just live here. All my cars are registered in Florida where there is no inspection, or emissions.

[nissan~240sx]

damn man, what about roll cages?

i didnt think the sr swap would be a problem but i kno now that the third brake light is an issue. i wish i lived in florida! no emissions/inspection.

[BoBa524]

dude it is so easy to pass inspection in mass. The usual going rate is about 80 bucks.

[uberkillerz240]

yea. i heard in about 1-2 years mass is doin away w/ the dyno for OBDI. its too expensive for it to be run, so most shops and stations here only run it once a week at max, even a couple times a month. this would greatly help me. thanks boba because ive been lookin for the "rate" here.

Move to NH! As long as the normal things work and are not worn, you have nothing to worry about...maybe exhaust. NH does not test cars older than OBDII. Even when they do, they only check to see if it has current or pending codes. Once those are fixed, your all set!

[DJButton]

Yeah +2 for living in a hassle free state, I always bring my car to a friend anyway, but as long as it's all in good shape I'm fine.

[uberkillerz240]

I hate to revive this old thread, like 3-4 months old.. but nissan~ did ya ever find a place to get it inspected? Its important...herhem...

i just got mine done, 130 bucks - THE MOST I EVER HAD TO PAY. People are scared now days.

[uberkillerz240]

yea. so i've noticed. no one wants to do it, and i need it done asap...its not a money thing...just no one is taking any risks anymore....this could get ugly fast! lol. I need to find a place asap

[NismoDriver240]

Lee:SR wont pass, third brake light will be an issue, and it depends on the size of the crack

i just got mine done, 130 bucks - THE MOST I EVER HAD TO PAY. People are scared now days.

you're retarded for paying that much...

i hope all you MA ppl know that in october of this coming year emissions will be removed for ODB I so at this point you're much better off failing, then waiting the 3 months the rejection is good for, failing again, waiting another 3 months, then failing one more time and the next time you go in it'll just be a safety inspection. $29 for the first inspection and $29 for the third, since the second and final inspection will be free since you failed if you go to the same place.

dont be dumb and try to be all slick and cool by slippin extra to the dude, all your doing is wasting money and looking like a fool.

wow what a loser you have to be to do that. i needed a sticker and i got it. its not about being "slick" FVCKING LOSER. damn you mofo just pissed me off.

If you have dark tints or the car being too low(examples,) your car fails for SAFETY that means you are not allowed to drive the car. if you get pulled over thats 2pts on you license for the next 6 years.

[NismoDriver240]

the way you say "examples" makes me think that's not affecting you personally, they're just examples. now ask yourself... "would I pass safety?" if the answer is YES then you wasted your money. If the answer is NO then was the extra $100 REALLY worth it?

[BoBa524]

damn, get a life loser.

[NismoDriver240]

sounds like someone is bent out of shape because they wasted $100

[uberkillerz240]

hate to say it but ur wrong. shure u can fail ur first one and wait 3 months and than fail again. but u cant drive ur car after that second fail. u have to do the work immediatly on it before driving it again. the only way to do wat u said above, which is keep failing, would be to unregister it and than register it again. than you would be allowed to fail again and wait another 3 months and im telling u, thats expensive. so no ur wrong on the above idea, still a good idea tho.

also, i already mentioned that OBDI is going to be obsolete. I was unaware it was october and would love it if you could please site a source. thank you. also, your idea about failling until obd1 testing was stopped wouldnt work. the new law concerning obd1 would require the car to still be inspected prior to the stopping of testing in order for the car to be legal. This isnt like the 1985 or 86 or watever rule where emissions testing doesnt even have to be done. it still has a date at which point all cars passed prior to this are legal. now, i have no source for this, but i do remember reading it or someone telling me about it.

[NismoDriver240]

my friend at the gas station who inspects me said his contract for the dyno and emissions stuff is up in early october and at another gas station where i had my tires mounted they said october as well. I was told to keep failing, if that doesnt work then idk. i know i'll get by because my friend inspects me, but i know $100 extra is just dumb.

how could they make my car be inspected prior to the stopping? I fail and then what? how will they test me again since all the stuff is being removed? When its done its done, i dont think i'll need a "final test," so to speak.

[uberkillerz240]

i agree. 100+ bucks is stupid and pointless. i dont mean prior to the stopping. i mean there will probably be a date after the stopping of the dyno tests. probably 1 to 2 years into the future. as long as your car passes before those dates, you will probably not have to emissions inspect your car again, just the safety.

I was told by a garage owner, a body shop owner, and a performance/race shop owner that in order to keep failing you would need to unregister and than reregister your car. im not doubting you, im just saying thats wat i heard. otherwise, wouldnt you think that would be the worlds biggest loophole? anyways it doesnt matter, im passed now. and im glad that the fricken obd1 is gunna run out in october

I know after you fail the second, you can apply for a waiver, but that is a hard process especially if you dont exactly have a legal engine and didnt even try to do anything to fix it.

[NismoDriver240]

ohh i gotcha. we'll have to see what the future brings. and i'll post back when it comes around my third inspection

[uberkillerz240]

lol. thats all we can do for now. just sit back and enjoy the ride.

[0wn3r]

damn, get a life loser.

I think you're the one that was the actual loser. You lost your $. If it's not about being "slick" like you said, then what do you call getting a sticker without actually being legal?

Now keep your personal attacks in your head and not in this thread.

I thought the OP's question was going to be, "why do you all travel in the left hand "passing" lane when you belong in the right?"

[NismoDriver240]

why do you all travel in the left hand "passing" lane when you belong in the right?

because then the other lanes get to crowded. if theres an open lane, left right middle, w/e, i take it. if you want to get technical, everyone should travel in the middle lane since the left is for passing and the right is for entering and exiting, and slow traffic.

why do out of state drivers like to go exactly 65 in the "passing" lane? or my favorite, match the speed of the car to their right, creating a moving roadblock.

[uberkillerz240]

I would make the argument that in the US, Massachusetts has the worst drivers, worst traffic, and worst roads on average. In the world, i would make the argument that Beijing, China has the worst drivers, traffic, but their roads are ok!

[NismoDriver240]

if i remember right MA had the 3rd worst drivers next to RI. I forget tho. It's all opinionated anyways. I hate hate HATE pennsylvania and connecticut drivers cuz they all (generalization, yes.) go 65 in the left lane and match other peoples speed. a moving roadblock

ummm, not CT. The majority, in order from biggest blockers:

PANYMA

[NismoDriver240]

MA a blocker state? Hardly. You just need to fill in the holes people leave open. Remember, you can fit in a 1 1/2 car length and still have room to spare!

Hey, i needed a sticker and thats the only place that was willing. If spending extra 100 bucks to prevent getting pulled over and getting points on my license then why would i not spend the extra money. Like i said this a crazy price i had to pay and i'll have to find a cheaper one for next year, this was more of an ASAP thing.

Prolly 90% of people on this forum won't pass inspection without actually knowing some one or paying more.

Sorry for the name calling, it never happens but can't stand it when some kid comes on and starts talking bs and calling you names.

[NismoDriver240]

i know what you mean, and i definitly trolled you a lil bit but i just dont see the need for $100 extra when you coulda failed then re-inspected for free

[BoBa524]

that is always true but failure of safety inspection means you can't drive the car until it is fixed. And i HAVE gotten pulled over for that.
