			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 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.

			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
