Hawaii, when did you relocate to Cali? I must have missed that

The one saving grace you have is that your car is not yet assigned to any particular zip code and bringing it in-state for the first time will get your target limits assigned to unenhanced area levels (higher limits). The next time will be the enhanced urban area test at the tighter limits though.

Thanks for the offer and greatly appreciated. I have a few issues to address when I have some time before I can even think about trying to SMOG it. I wish there was a way to get a test to just see where I am at without them putting the car in the system.

I see on reason why you can't do a pre test. Getting the car to the testing facility is the problem. Use a trailer or get a temp pass from the DMV.

How does some one from Mesa AZ know you can "pass" the CA Smog Check only with the secondaries disabled.

The reason the max. limits for the Smog Check have been getting incrementally higher is that the State of California wants to drive old cars it believes are "high-polluters" off the road and the 2G ZR-1s are considered "high-polluters". Because there are so few of them, the politicians have nothing to loose by forcing them off the road or out of the State. Sadly, this NOx problem is really tough for 90-92s which lack the EGR valve. Here are some tips: Fresh fuel Clean combustion chambers and piston tops Stock spark schedule Proper O2 sensors. I use Densos. I think they are better than Bosch or Delphi. PN 2343005 $28.79 from Rockauto.com Cats really f'ing hot. ECT as low as it can get after getting the cats really not For those with '93-'95 who flunk NOx...buy a revised cal from Marc Haibeck which turns the EGR on at 14-mph rather than 17-mph.
