guys, as some of you know already, my car is from Nevada, and I have to register her for the first time here in CA

so, apart from having to do a smog check, I also have to get it inspected

now, what exactly do they "inspect" on my car?

obviously it has no emission stuff, the left turn signal doesn't work and the driver door doesn't open from the outside, but apart from that, she runs great and everything else works

just wondering whether I should go do it at the dmv or find a person who can do it also I wonder............

anyone know or have been through this?

 

i am in the same boat

 

It will be a full vehicle inspection at DMV where they will check, vin, smog equipments and shiet like that. So you may as well junk them.

 

damn r u serious??? holy crap, I need help

 

well i am not registering my car here but what about LOCAL AUTHORITIES and this engine bay

 

nene, don't worry. you are not gonna daily the car are you? i have been driving my FC around for breakin miles and i never get any police attention as long as i drive normally. i also have the silencer on my exhaust, it's nice and quiet

 

^ i don't think that would fly

 

I beg to god that someone on this forum can help me with this

I really need to register my car and be able to drive her while my supra is in shop, if not I won't have another car to drive to school T.T

please, i beg you

 

Last time I brought my S13 over from AZ, they just checked VIN #s, looked at the paperwork, and did a quick check under the hood. Maybe took 5 mins tops.

I'm bringing my FD over next month.

 

well i was planning on it but i am on the hunt for a daily and dont know what i want

i know if i get me another rotary its gonna be a clean t2 or fd
if its a truck it will be a tacoma and if i get me that clean t2 i will transfer everything i can to it from mines and part my 400whp fc so i can build my drag car

either way i am a bit screwed because if a cop asks me to pop my hood I am that person who will not budge i rather go to county jail over night and come with my lawyer but it seem like its a battle i cant win so i am worried

 

lemme say it in da pinoy way....you guys are so fucked

 

what are u talking about puntanginamo my car is stock

 

The DMV inspection is different from a smog or safety inspection. DMV just verifies:
1) that the VIN on the dash matches the one stamped on the firewall
and, more problematic for you
2) that the emissions sticker exists on the underside of the hood.

They don't care about your engine mods at all. Nor do they ensure that your car is safe (e.g. turn signals, horn, lights). While you might get away with it (my sticker was charred from a hood fire and passed), you might consider mounting a stock hood to avoid any issues.

Now getting it through smog is another matter. Did someone say HOOKUP? Wackyracer seems to want to help ya.

BTW. Looks like a potent FC you've got there. Nice ride El Nene.

 

but again, if it cant pass CA smog, you may as well buy a "TC." stupid foreigners from outside CA lol:

 

I am from CA dude, I bought the car from Nevada..........

 

I have a stock hood, but there are no stickers on the other side

 

I tried pming wacky but he doesn't respond >.<
