Lovin' my R2

I picked up a bone stock 94 VR R2 last September from a guy in Illinois and passing CA smog was tough. The FD failed the first smog test so I had to change plugs, O2 sensor, air filter and use 87 octane to get it too squeak under the pass limits. I sure hope they don't lower the emission values any more.
So you best bet is to see if you can find a CA registered FD to purchase

No worries! I am sure we can both find a good one! And I hate bidding wars, anyway...

Nice collection you have. As mentioned above, one of the things I have found is that getting cars outside of California and Oregon maybe even Washington can sometimes make it tough for a car to pass emissions. Good luck in the search.

Fantastic R33 - you did your own importation/federalization? That's insane dedication.
