what year max = 3.5swap
I am looking into a 3.5 swap but I have a 1997 max and worried about running a cel after the swap. Where I live I will not pass emissions with a cel.
I was wondering if this is the reason alot of 3.5swaps are in 95 and 96's cause they have less emissions crap and still take a probe in the tail pipe and instead of connecting to the ecu

half year models do, my last maxima was a 96 and I was able to do the old tail pipe test
also I did a search and this is what some-1 posted is this correct or not. All I want is a yes or no if I will get a cel and not pass emissions on a 97 with a 3.5
"The '96+ model is OBD2 and requires equivalent or newer ecu for emissions (stupid plug). Using a '95, I [potentially] get all the body amenities/ features of the '99 models"

Or do a 3.5 swap exactly like mine. No CEL's guaranteed.
2003 maxima block, rods, arp hardware
2002 pathfinder heads, lower intake manifold, pistons
your stock everything else: fuel setup, evap, iacv, and intake manifold.
This will yield you a CEL'less 3.5 swap, guaranteed.

is there a simpler, way would switching the ecu work or is it a maybe it will maybe it won't

No I don't have proof. I think someone told me verbally it could be done. I'm no electrical guru but you might want to ask some people who are. Or do some research on resistors. It could be done b/c this is what people do when there knock sensor fails and they don't want to replace it.
