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

 

welcome to the forum, good luck with the hunt for an FD.

 

That's a nice r33 but an fd will be perfect good luck on your search

 

Good luck on the search. Nice GTR

 

I am looking for one also. am also in Cali, hope we don't start a bidding war

 

nice r33 looks spectacularly fun to drive

 

awesome 33 must be fun to drive

 

Thanks for all the replies! yes, I need to get an FD into the garage! May be selling the GTR, though...

 

Thanks for the info. I figure smog inspection will be tough. I see so many highly modded FD's for sale with CA plates, I wonder how these vehicles get through smog.

 

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.

 

Good luck with your hunt, we're both in the same boat...

 

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

 

i see your in orange county. there is one r1 for sale here locally in elpaso tx. it looks clean, if you want ill post a link.. i am also looking for an FD... i have a deal right now with another rx7 but aint to sure, once my thread is approved you will see what im talking about.
