How about a fly by video, I love the exhaust note of a nice Z.

God I hate the Hipers! Almost as bad as the US-spec tail lights, especially on the yellow Zs.

As much as I'd love another tt, it's one of those "been there, done that" things to me :( That one looks awesome though.

Nice looking car. They must be getting harder to find in good condition.

Cool. Always wanted one back in the day. Dated a girl back in 92 who had a new one, thought it was a supercar.

Good luck with that. Put some cats on it and tune it so it will pass. BTW what year is it?

Best bet is to drive to POS's house and pull whatever parts you need from one of his cars.
Still, w/o cats, you're likely doomed at any place that even pretends to use the sniffer.

Nope that is bad information. ;-)

I bought a used car that was registered in Parker County. The inspection stations in Cooke county would not inspect the car until I re-registered it in Cooke County. I'm sure you already noticed that the county of registration is printed on the registration sticker.

Just remember the fine for a state inspector that is caught falsifying inspections is $10k and the inspection station can loose their ability to do inspections up to 12 months. So the fact that it won't even pass the visual inspection makes it that much harder for you. Put on some good high flow cats and you won't even notice any reduced performance and you should then be able to pass the test as your car would be put on the dyno. My turbo Miata sat for over two years until I was able to get it to pass inspection...

Being that his car has out of state plates he won't even be able to register it until it passes inspection.

It might be possible to find a cheap exhaust you can slap on there at a place like Mazda-Nissan Heaven, since 300ZX parts are low-demand items these days.

Yeah i cant even register it, till i get it inspected and get my out of state " green sheet"

ill find a way, im not going to deal with putting cats on, or "re tuning" its already chipped for 93 octane and 550 cc injectors

might take awhile but its not like i dont have my NB as a daily ;)

Why are you so against installing cats if that is all you need to pass inspection? If your car is tuned properly then you should pass with cats. Have you had it tested as is yet to see where you are at? Some stations will do it in training mode so it isn't connected to the states computers so there is no record.

If it is tunned properly, it should pass with just the addition of cats. My supercharged Miata is running a full ECU with 440 injectors tuned for 93 octane, and with a good CAT, it passes the sniffer every year with flying colors. Look around and I am sure you can find a stock exhaust and cats used for cheap that you can swap on just for the inspection. Without the CATs, you will never legally pass and it is next to impossible these days to get an inspection station to "do you a favor" regardless of how much money you slip them.

its got 550cc injectors, it wont pass with cats regardless,

i did a training run at an inspection station and it failed pretty bad,

If it is tuned properly for the 550 injectors, that will not be a problem. My engine came stock with 230 injectors and I am running 440 RCs and I PASS EVERY YEAR. The lack of cats are your only problem.

I'm with Titus, 440 injectors on my turbo and it passes each year too. So I'll be the third to tell you to get some cats and you might have to de-tune it some. I pull a few degrees of timing and take a few points of master fuel to pass.

Flyin96M

Yeah I'm running 550's in my Miata and it passes the sniffer no problem so injector size doesn't mean you won't pass.

Car is running with legal inspection now ; )
