Try being in my boat. Not one 79-83 Z car will pass Pennsylvania emissions! Fail mine every year due to Missing or tampered emission control device. Every year I ask pep boys whats wrong. Well son you don't have a smog pump on you car. I reply it is bosh fuel injection there is no reason to have one. They reply well son you need a r-title from the state since you installed a fancy weed wacker in there. I reply its F$&%ing factory. Pep boys manager told me sonny I don't give a **** what Nissan says Pennsylvania claims its carbonated with a rocket pump. Buy a Chevy and ill pass it.
Idiots went to my buds shop he called up a 1981 Datsun 280zx n/a. It has a 2.4 with a singal webber carb. 1970-1983 I called up Harrisburg the state says it needs atleast 1000 fails in the state to even inquire their own F%#@ing error.
Most shops just take a look at Google then place TRULY ILLEGAL STICKERS on the cars.

I don't know about Cali laws but here in Texas, if they fail you and you ask to see why, they HAVE to show you in the DMV book what the law is. I know this because I used to be a state inspector here. Here, all inspection stations must keep up-to-date reference manuals and contact information for their DOT rep. If they (or you) have questions regarding anything, call the rep. If the inspector has a problem with calling them somethings fishy.
Also, in Texas, ALL vehicles get a pass/fail report and a failed vehicle must have detailed reasons that jibe with whats in the book.
Glad we have exemptions here for vehicles "Over 24 years old" !!! Safety only!

I have been useing my buds shop. I just like to be a a$$hole If they cant get past visual they cant charge you. Do waste a 1/2 hour of their time. Thats what they get for not honoring their tire warrenty.

pretty lax here
Just our county has had emissions for a while now, the adjoining county to our west just implemented inspections, and they are all pissy about it now, council men coming out in public and refusing to test, and then getting theyr'e licenses suspended for talking out... hehe ******* politicians

Tottally understand!! We are a tiny microscopic community 50 miles south of pittsburgh. Half of the people are on welfare the other half work at our 4 walmarts surrounding us. So a 1800.00 repair is equal to a 100000.00 repair. In most eyes. I say 15 n out should be realistic for emissions. Saw a woman down at the shop in tears. Early 90's Pontiac grand-am 600.00 for a total replacement of her egr system. Only car she had with 2 toddlers. I smiled reached into my buds drawer and grabbed and signed her stickers. Thought I bought her a brand new car. I got ripped down for it and I asked my buddy "really a cop is going to stop her and write her up for a leaky vacume line and some bits" Stupidity went bought him a case of Bud and went fishing never whined about it since.
