So now comes that time when I have to get my SR emissions tested. I live in Maryland now and it's a '96 S14 so I will have to pass the OBD-II test. I am fully aware that the SR doesn't have this connection, so I'm pretty much SOL. I was wondering if there are any experiences preferably from MD where they let you run the sniffer instead of just failing you right away, or anything similar.

Trust me I've been searching all over, and found several pretty sound threads saying that there is no way to get it to pass and that you can't rig the ECU to a diagnostics connector or anything of the sort. The threads were reasonably old and I'm wondering if anyone has any new information that says otherwise.

PM me if you'd like, or strike up a discussion. I know theres not too many MDers on here, but any input is appreciated.
