Looked under my hood and saw the 4 sensors today... It also said that My car compies to cali standards uner the hood!?!? What is up with that?!?!? I live in ROCHESTER NY?!?!?!??! WTF

 

I live in MD, and I have cali-spec also.

It just depends on which area market you are in when it comes to emissions restrictions. All 2k1 and later models are cali-spec emissions anyways....

 

Mine is Cali-Spec and I live in NJ. I don't know why they did that.

 

All this time I assumed it was Fed spec and never really took the time to notice the sensors or even the posts that talked about it.. I figured.. I live on the other half of the usa.. no way.. but As I was contipmlating the y-pipe I went down to make sure.. and low and behold.. wtf im ****ed..

 

I was pretty pi$$ed off too. I don't understand how they allocate Cali/Fed spec cars across the country and I sure didn't expect a to get a Cali spec car here in Jersey. No biggie though, it's not that big of a difference right?

 

I dunno I know alot of people with auto's were complaining. Though I can't seem to find any dynos on 5sp Fed vs 5sp Cali. ?!?!?

 

Have you seen the dyno plots between Auto/Cali spec versus Auto/Fed spec?

 

It depends on local laws. In large metropolitan areas like New York, Philadelphia, and their surrounding counties where they require emissions testing, the dealers order the cali-spec cars to meet legal requirements.

Cali-spec is also known as NLEV (Near Low Emissions Vehicle). That standard was just first developed to meet CARB (California Air Resources Board) requirements and the name stuck.

 

Most of the eastern seaboard is cali spec. Nissan is 50 state low emissions now anyway. Thee seems to be a 5 HP or so difference.

 

WASSUUUUUUUUP JO, I was Born and Raised up in ROCHESTER, NY!!!

 

Really? Cool, I still live in Rochester and love it. Where do you live know? Why did you leave?

 

I used to live in Pittsford, I left back on 1995 cause I bought a hotel here in Washington DC, Also I dont live Rochester much anymore, nothing to do there anymore, Came back three times to visit my friends and aint nothing like DC!

I still miss the snow though,

Dixit

 

theres a difference of 1hp and 10 pounds of torque between fed and cali

 

Man those Maximas get around!!!from cali to new york!! I remember when I first checked my maxima to determine if it was cali or fed and boy was I happy when I saw only 2 thing a ma bobbers!! didnt they end up makin all 2002 and up to cali spec any ways? Damn pollution!!!

 

Pittsford is cool. Rochester isn't a bad place to live in general. Washington is to crowded for my likes. And your nuts! there is lots of things to do up here in Rock City!

 

all maximas in 2k1 and afterwards are NLEV emissions compliant

 

I have a Cali spec car in (cold) Rochester, NY too... maybe we should get a mini meet around here sometime before it really snows...
