had a hard time passing a skyline.

retarded the timing, changed the spark plugs, and 16 L of Methyl Hydrate (THIS IS THE TRICK!) and running on the freeway for 45min at 4-5k RPM and it passed with FLYING colors. below all the averages.

after adding the methyl hydrate, the results dropped 5 POINTS!

I would rather have a VI system than aircare. I would get so many shitboxes off the road. Some cars I see... I don't even understand how they stay on the road.

16L!?!? You mean run 1L inside 16L of gas? I'd be too scared to run methyl hydrate as the only fuel in the car.....can anyone verify this?

i managed to pass aircare with my exhaust pipe held on by a bungee cord

it melted and fell off when the guy kicked the tester hose off the pipe, but i dont care

im good for 2 years

and yes air care is lame

im with Great68...its so stupid when a simple turn of a screw on the carbuerator is the difference between a fail and a pass

thats how my 1980 volvo used to pass air care...go to the mechanic, he would fiddle with it for a bit, i roll to air care and it would barely idle and sometimes die on the dyno but after i pass, go back to the mechanic and he sets it back to normal

Make sure they enter your mileage correctly. The last time I was there, I was arguing with the guy for a long time to get him to change the mileage. My odometer says 13400km and he adds another zero on it and says it is fine it wont affect your reading. I tell him that I dont care, fix it I dont want stuff like carfax flagging my car cause of your fucking mistake. and he still says the same thing. THen I just started to yell at him until his supervisor came out.

I'm trying to pass my V6 TT machine like this:

run 5 cylinders (drop one injector clip)
run open loop (unplug that O2 sensor, cuz with it the car will try to compensate for the missing cylinder)
run 20L of methyl hydrate on 10L of gas
unplug the turbo hoses so it's running normally aspirated
already has new cat and plugs.

fingers crossed this works out.

What really ticks me off is how they send reminders to tell people to go to aircare when the cars in question are newer than 2002.

it's been said once, and I'll say it again.

aircare, biggest cash grab evar!

they've been saying AirCare would be scrapped "in a few years", but an official announcement has never been made.

Doesn't the CEL come on when you unplug the O2? They might not even check if they see that's on.

If it's a '98 or newer with ODBII, they don't even run the normal emissions tests, they just check the OBD. A missing O2 sensor will no doubt show up there. http://aircare.ca/inspinfo-desc-obd.php

It's a 1993 the CEL is irrelevant they'll still do their simulated driving test and all results hang on that.

The best way to do this, i realize is to
a) remove testpipe
b) reinstall cat
c) detune

When you've passed, reverse the above steps

Seriously aircare is such a fucking joke, my car's emission system will be stock for a good (1hr) before it's back to "fail" aircare

After failing so many times, I feel like I'm living in the State of California where no mods are allowed.
