Help for aircare of my 98 240sx
 

Hi everyone,
I have my 1998 240sx with sr20 red top
i was doing the aircare but they said can not detect to obd2
of course because swap engine and i requested to do the rolling test
they said i cant do that ......
so now, how can i pass the aircare?

The only way you're going to keep your SR swap and pass the aircare test is if you swap it back to KA, do the test, then swap it back to the SR.

Yup, if you want to get it through the legit way

There is no other way since his car is a 98. The only time the driving test is performed instead of the OBD check is when 2 to 3 of the car's OBD readiness monitors are not set. SR swaps are not compatible with OBD, and so the car will be rejected every time.

You can insure it in territory z. There's no aircare on the island, whistler, or a city past Hope. Pick an address, and tell them that's where your car is going to be, because you work in that city. Insurance cost more though. Then after you buy your insurance, you return to another insurance place, and request an address change, back to your current address so you don't have complications if you get into an accident or if your car gets stolen. Google, territory z if you have any more questions you'd like to answer.

Does this even work? You would think ICBC would make you complete Aircare before allowing the Address change.

there's a lot of people who roll around with SR20's though. how do they all pass?

Shouldnt be an issue if pre-98 as they do the roller tests. Since his car is 98+ it requires a OBD test.

You'll have to insure it out of territory or wait a couple years till its old enough to be roller tested.
You'd be surprised how many people install non OBD compliant motors into cars needing OBD compatibility to be aircare compliant.

just insure it using an address in Kelowna, it will be cheaper and no aircare PERIOD

Just as good as driving w/o insurance. Good times!

just switch back to your own address afterwards.

I'm not sure how it works if you switch the address after you've already purchased the insurance, but I know that if you're up for renewal and the address gets changed, Aircare will be required.

Well I think I have a Manual for the SR20DET. if you still have you Com link connector Im sure we could wire in the 16 or so wires it would take for them to read your car. But it would be a wiring fiasco

Then a few days later switch it to your home address. You already bought the insurance so they can't force you to go through aircare. Its like when u know your aircare is due, so you buy a year before its over due so you don't have to deal with aircare until your insurance is done.

Obd 2 =\= consult connector

Do they follow up on your address to see if your really living out of the no aircare zone?

You can get plates for your car by registering it out of vancouver BC but rest assured if you end up in a serious accident ICBC is going to do their best to prove you have insured your vehicle incorrectly.

I belive you have 10 days to re-register you car for your current address including aircare to bee good by ICBC.

As for the OP unless he can somehow scab a KA harness to run his SR (which is impossible) he is going to have to day insure it until they abandon Aircare

i think i saw this S14 for sale on Clist for like 8k a couple summers ago. Its white with a JDM front end right?

i heard G5 can help with these problems give them a call.

I dont think theres much even G5 can do to get around this issue, you basically have to have a fuctioning OBDII port to pass aircare with 1998+ vehicles which, as was mentioned, SR20s don't have...

They scan the OBDII port for any engine codes and you don't pass if anything is flagged. A ton of the components in a vehicle that can throw OBDII codes will effect tailpipe emissions:

Basically to make the process more straightforward they just scan the OBDII port and if no codes are thrown they just assume the engine is producing a manageable amount of emissions.
