My maxima gave me a pleasant surprise today.

Well, I've been slowly fixing up my maxima but I haven't been driving it since the brake line rusted out. So I got that fixed since I'm going to start to drive the maxima again daily because the other half is selling her car she is making payments and is going to take my boring daily driver. I haven't driven the car is six months while replacing some thing and second shelfing it. So I needed to get an inspection and emissions test done. I was really worried about it since I haven't been driving it at all really.

The car passed with flying colors. I was shocked. Nearly emissions free.

HC(PPM) only 8
NOx 0
co% .01%

I guess the tune up did wonders....haha.

Mike

Yeah, those are pretty much the same numbers mine put out when it had to be tested a few months ago, its pretty amazing for a car of that age I think.

different states have different laws for emissions and inspections before you can register or renew the vehicle
some people dont require anything, some only require emissions, some require emissions and inspections

florida dropped emissions when jeb came in office it has meant good for me because i know my last maxima would have never passed any inspection no matter how much you paid the guy.

Atlanta was cool but the 50 mile drive to work was getting old. Oakwood is great, clean air, nice ppl, and No Stickn' apartment!
