Hey if i buy a 2post '76 280z can i somehow fool them into thinking it's a '70-76 240 or 260 or possible 280? meh heh heh... Just curious...

 

Only if they smoke more weed than apparently you are smoking.

 

hmmm.....i don't see why not, if i just switch out the thingy on the door. with something somehow...

 

orr.... just buy a car thats old enough to be smog exempt.

 

Snwy got the right idea.

 

finally......

 

a smog excempt, rust free, 4 seater is pretty much impossible to find.

 

only if you alter the VIN before you register it. It is a little illegal.

 

why the F would you actually WANT a 4 seater unless you were back in the 70's having kids and needed a sports car there fore you went with a 280Z 2+2 one of the ugliest datsuns made. any 2+2 is gross setp the Z32 and even then i can see the difference and just cant accept it. lol. and its not that hard to find anything rust free in the cali area, u guys got a pretty milds and dry climate, look in arizona also

 

smog is not that hard to pass---clean your injectors wityh the good struff, make sure the car is tuned correctly and read the threads already posted about smog and passing or not.......have fun.....

 

Exactly. Make the car run right... then you don't have to worry about it passing.

280z = fuel injected
240z-260z = carb'd

I'm pretty sure they'll notice.

 

wait, this confuses me. isnt anything 30 years or older exempt? and a 76 280z would fall under that, and also, fooling them to thinking it was a 70-76 240 or 260 or 280???? it already IS A 76 280Z !!!!!!!!!

 

no, anything pre -75 is exempt from the test, but if you get busted on the side of the road they can still send you to the smog ref.

 

i know its alot of trouble, but why not just register it in a state with no smog laws? Isn't there a neighboring state that matches that desc? I mean, it would be a hell of alot easier to just make sure you're car is running right in the first place, but if you're not willing to do that, then the out of state registration is another, more paperwork intensive solution.

 

hell i live in a smog exempt city, with no testing or inspection!!!!

 

yeah if u got family in another state that can register it in their name with you co-signed then your exempt no?

 

thats pretty much how it works, or you can just find a smogless county in CA and get a PO box their.

 

thats what im going to do! can i use your city hoov?

 

Get a PO Box there... easy as pie.

 

wow....what have i started....

 

a great idea!!!

 

You monster!

 

HAY....IT IS pre 1977 that is smog exempt. period. pre 1977. ANY AND EVERYTHING BEFORE 1977 IS EXEMPT FROM BEING VICTIM OF SMOG CHECKS. in californicatia.

 

I love FL, no smog laws ftw.

A cop actually told me he wishes we did inspections here when he saw my Z on the side of the road (I blew my headgasket)
