So I failed my emissions test. Pretty bad too actually.
Check out the results
This is not good considering I’m officially starting my engine swap on Friday night and I need the driveclean on the NA before the plate renewal in July.
Anyone have any suggestions on how I can get this car to pass?
ummmm get the paper changed? lol thats how i did it
buy a 7 dollar can of combustion chamber cleaner…works everytime!
dunno if you care, but it might be a good idea to chop out the vin number of your car…
I want to first explore all legal options
I don’t think it can fix this one. I have a high HydroCarbon Content which means I don’t have all the fuel burning off. Either spark plugs or catalytic converters.
Why would I do that?
^^^ I think he meant on the paper.
Oh, you mean to put it on the net?
yup. not sure if you worry about stuff like that.
It’s hard to track an owner back by the VIN number.
The license plate is far easier, but if you really think about it, if someone wants to find out they’ll see you on the streets. It’s free information anyway.
Plus, VINs are offered up regularly on the net by people willing to sell their vehicles all the time. Carfax etc… is the reason.
Thanks for the concern.
true…for me, it would have cost a lot of money to get fixed…apparently my engine would need to be pulled out…so vuk just suggested that i do it that way…he has a friend who changes the paper
add an extra cat for the test and lean yer mix a bit.
cut, clamp…
test…remove!!
I have an high per one you can borrow.
clean the egr (if you have one)
Bring it to my dealership I can make it “pass”. My NX with a VE and no cat passed.LOL!
Let me know
Alright guys I’m concerned. My friend took my car to a place and they ran my VIN. They found that it just previously failed and they won’t “take care of it” anymore.
Will anyone run my car for me? My sticker expired in the beginning of July and I’m scared to drive my car anywhere now.
what do you mean by “will anyone run my car for me” ?
Do you want to go to somewhere to get your car tested and stickered or you mean someone to drive you around?
You don’t have to worry, depending on how old the sticker is, just got to watch out for popo.
as for the emmissions failing its because you’re running cat back or larger pipes or something along those lines, if not, then im curious to know why your car would fail emissions, the other problem is that, reputable emission places, have stock vehicle information, and you could also fail emissions because of that, even if your car is perfect. I don’t know bro, i also hate the emissions stuff i usually don’t get one after i’ve bought the car, and if i sell the car i sell as is.
Not drive me around. I’m looking for someone to run the emissions test on my car. The popo have been around a lot lately. I don’t even speed on the streets anymore. Doesn’t make it any better that I pass a cop shop every day twice a day to and from work (Credit Stone and Rutherford)
yikes,hey just contact Nismo_SR20VE, he may be able to hook you up, i could easily get you a legit emmissions, but my mechanic friend is on vacation.
good luck.
I did, I called him on my way home from work… He quit his job.
So I need to find it somewhere else.
K, i have my G test tomorrow, so i’ll be gone to orangeville from 8am to 1pm, on my way back i’ll call some people up and try to find someone who can pass you for emissions, i know many people, just that i been out of touch with them for a long time. Just check back here tomorrow, or i’ll pm you if i get someone to do it.
if u aint pannin on sellin ur car y dont u get a conditional pass it will get u ur sticker. on ur test paper it will give a limit in which a licenced emmision repair tec can spend on fixin ur car, most tecs will do a tuneup spend like half the limit and give u a conditional pass.
just run it as a hot rod.
limits are raised to like 500 ppm for HC and others to.
just tell them its not the original engine.
