well im getting out of the army and i am in washington. i am moving back to cali. do i have a chance at passing visuals even if i fab up a heat sheild? this is what my set up looks like but with a CARB k/n fipk.

MikeisNissan · 05-12-2008, 08:28 PM

Visuals? Inspection?

lflkajfj12123 · 05-12-2008, 08:31 PM

haha i'm sure "dynamic racing" is also a dead give away

*kingkilburn* · 05-12-2008, 08:32 PM

NO!

Maybe if you know a guy. Even the cops know our shit now.

rossfashow · 05-12-2008, 08:32 PM

that is not my car in the pic, it is a pic that i have cause that is what my setup looks like except all black. factory sparkplug cover black piping black couplers

lflkajfj12123 · 05-12-2008, 08:37 PM

then maybe...

but i doubt it

HyperTek · 05-12-2008, 09:50 PM

dam i like 3000gts.. they look sexy

please post pics!

rossfashow · 05-12-2008, 10:25 PM

i dont have recent pics right now but ill post some later. the last pic i have is this

blasting_speed · 05-12-2008, 10:58 PM

I use to have a 1998 VR 4. Freaking awesome cars. It sucked up gas like a sponge but..... fast fast fast. IDK about it passing visuals though. Cops are getting smart down here now. Half the fun is trying to get away with it anyway. Good luck.

RiversideS13 · 05-12-2008, 11:01 PM

the pix has NOS, so it will fail.

the pic is not my car. the set up is similar. with out the nitrous, without the intake, i have carb legal intake on mine and my pipes are black so are the couplers. the wastegates will be hidden by a fabbed heatsheild

ronmcdon · 05-13-2008, 12:50 PM

all that shiny stuff can't be good for visual inspection (nor would it for cops pulling you over, thieves, etc). I always try to keep my engine bay as sleeper as possible. Personally, I prefer using the satin black finish from Eastwood. works great on all pipes, ic, radiator, etc. the engine bay of my sr looks almost bone stock to the layman.

that pic is not my engine, like i said before all my pipes will be coated black, either flatblack or glossblack. i will also have a fabbed heatshield. i am going for a factory look

womenbeshoppin · 05-13-2008, 03:49 PM

just paint mural of steven seagal on the valve cover. they will pass you, if they know whats good for them.

azndoc · 05-13-2008, 03:51 PM

I had a redtop SR when I went to the dmv for visual inspections.

She looked at it and just passed me.

I don't know. My handsome face prolly had something to do with it though.

Straight distracted her.

*exitspeed* · 05-13-2008, 03:53 PM

Yea VR4's are hot. I wish they weren't so heavy. But one day I
ll have a clean white VR4 for zooomin around town.

Edit: When i first saw this thread I thought of:

What are the odds of a guy like you and a girl like me...you know...getting together.

Not good.

Not good like 1 in a 100.

No, more like 1 in a million.

SO YOU'RE SAYING THERE'S A CHANCE.

***S14DB*** · 05-13-2008, 04:03 PM

Yeah, get a pic of Your setup.

yea vr4's are hawt. i like it, well i cant autocross it cause it is sooo heavy i dont want to try taking it on a turn ever again. i learned my lesson. it is hard to correct once you break all fours. and now i am just 4 straighlines. thats all this car is really actually good for lol and looking sexy plus there arent many running around...
i do miss my 240 but that car was the biggest pain in the ass ever!!!! the electrical pissed me off eversince the redtop installation.

ill post pics nextweek. cause my car is at my friends house and we both have different work schedules so we both cant really work on it everyday lol.

alindeman1989 · 05-13-2008, 05:19 PM

prob not. thats sick tho.

rossfashow · 09-21-2008, 07:58 PM

sorry for the crappy pix

Gauges reads high cause when I took the pic at the time, I have no installed the senders. yet

HyperTek · 09-21-2008, 08:01 PM

***S14DB*** · 09-21-2008, 08:23 PM

Powder coat the charge pipes wrinkle black. change those blue lines for black. I dunno about the intake.

JRas · 09-21-2008, 10:11 PM

I think you should be able to pass fine

to the comments about his car

300zx > 3000GT

!Zar! · 09-21-2008, 10:31 PM

Car won't pass visual at all.

hah.

Cops/smog refs are smart.

I don't want to hear about isolated cases.

MOST of the cops know their shit in cali.

LeftNutOfGowd · 09-22-2008, 07:15 AM

Sure you'll pass

IF THE GUY IS FUCKING BLIND....

Matej · 09-22-2008, 08:32 AM

Cover it in mud.

Mr. Camshaft · 09-22-2008, 09:27 AM

I thought the state refs were closed because of budget?

LeftNutOfGowd · 09-22-2008, 09:30 AM

^^PSH i wish if that shit was true i would drop so much crap into my DD
