In general any car can do testing first. Why not? Its a Japanese car. Unless if you swap american V8 into JDM car it wont pass visual inspection.

maybe you guys aren't in CA, but even if the tailpipe emissions are 100% flawless, you will STILL fail the VISUAL portion of the inspection, since that engine was never sold in the US in a emissions legal configuration.

and dwnshift2drft what are you talking about "American v8 into jdm car" won't pass??? do you not know about the 100% LEGAL E-rod LS engine swap package?

Peter Tarach from Modified magazine did a huge build thread/article series about them putting a 100% smog legal LS engine in his s13.
