California - Nitrous.

[FordSVTFan]

Is there a section in the CVC that states this? What is the number?

My argument is this....this is the section I recieved....

(b) No person shall operate or leave standing upon ( )1 a highway ( )2 a motor vehicle that is required to be equipped with a motor vehicle pollution control device under Part 5 (commencing with Section 43000) of Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code or any other certified motor vehicle pollution control device required by any other state law or any rule or regulation adopted pursuant to that law, or required to be equipped with a motor vehicle pollution control device pursuant to the National Emission Standards Act (42 U.S.C. ( )3 7521 to 7550, inclusive) and the standards and regulations adopted pursuant to that federal act, unless the motor vehicle is equipped with the required motor vehicle pollution control device ( )4 that is correctly installed and in operating condition. No person shall disconnect, modify, or alter any such required device.

....I ask someone to please explain how a non functioning,disconnected and unfilled nitrous system in anyway hinders/or effects the Vehicles emission control system. Intake...fine,my arguement is the nitrous system...at which N.O.S. Inc received an executive order from ARB (Air Resources Board)

See the part in red. You modified and/or altered a part of the emissions system, as it includes the intake.

http://arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermkt/devices/eo/D-266-4.pdf

IN the executive order,it says the systems are exempt of section 27156,as well in testing the systems were found to NOT reduce the effectiveness of the vehicles emissions control system. You can see this stated before the vehicle list. Of course this list is outdated,I am awaiting a new one from Nitrous outlet and N.O.S.

Also, the ticket can be amended to reflect another, more appropriate, section of the code if the judge so desires.

Wow, what a ****ing state California is. Screw ever living in that socialist state. I sure hope that way of thinking stays contained there.

I'll ask again - Does your system have a CARB sticker? You don't need to answer since I already know the answer..............

The cvc section you quote is not even close to the one that covers your current problem.

My suggestion is you find a much more informed source before you try defending yourself in court. :shrug:

just like he said. some nitrous kits are carb leagal and have a sticker. I got pulled over in one of my cars had a zex setup on it long tubes no egr smog pump etc etc etc all he cared about is that it was not hooked up to the bottle.

Did you happen to hear about the election we had on November 4th?

 

[Kobra Khan]

Just tell yourself "it's the law" And we all must have respect for the law. :dw::bs: Since they are all so well intended and thought out.

That's some sig material right there!!!

This is my idea of a street legal nitrous setup.

Ran it for years without any issues.

No, I just crawled out from underneath my rock...

California is just the temptation state, so much to do, so many nice places, but you lose your natural rights if you want to live there.

Not really not a true statement; what you cannot do in California is thumb your nose at the law and expect to win.

If you live in California; the assumption is you will know and follow its laws - otherwise you can pack your butt up and move somewhere else.

If you install illegal equipment on your car, then get stopped and cited for said equipment - its not the law that is stupid...................as Adam likes to say; if stupid doesn't hurt - it should.

I am glad nitrous is illegal to use on the streets, now if they would just get around to banning drag radials!

I got issued a ref ticket by CHP as well for my nitrous kit, clear lid, and loud exhaust about 3 months ago, my bottle was empty and disconnected too but he didn't care. I had to attend to court and the judge asked me if I wanted to correct it and end up paying like 200$ or just pay the entire fine which was 390$ and go on my way without going to the ref. Even though he said I ran a risk of getting sighted again, so I ended up paying the 390$ because there was no way I was going to pass inspection with the nitrous kit on or off.

I did fix some things though, I took the main nitrous parts out, zip tied the front plate on, changed to quieter exhaust, and a new black SLP lid. To lay low a little you know.

The new INNOUT off Los Alamos,my self and 10+ other were issued refs as well another 20+ issued other tickets.

 

[Red BOLT99]

WOW! I'm off Clinton Keith...
I thought it was safer up here then where I came from...
Thanks for the heads up, MAybe when I get done with the turbo setup I'll meet up with you guys up here.

Peace....

I thought they needed a warrant to look under your hood or is that just a myth ? i am glad i kept the carb numbers for my 2.6 now if i can only get one for my lt kooks lol

 

[Quik Z06]

No they dont need a warrant to pop your hood. They can pull you over and pop your hood anytime they want.

 

[mr2cam]

What a ****ing racket they are running in California, they need to spend more time on getting all the illegals out of that state and deported, oh but wait.. that doesn't make the state money, so nevermind.

 

[SHOspazz92]

NOS makes a few CARB approved Kit's.... FYI.

[mr2cam]

Sometimes I take living in Washington for granted, sure it sucks up here because it gets so cold and most of the woman are ugly, but I love the fact that I can drive my car to the track on slicks and with a strait pipe and not get hassled, shit I drove right infront of a WSP at our last drag strip day of the season.

 

[Black*Death]

Pay the ticket, restore your car, and quit driving your car illegally. This is California. You should be driving a Prius and supporting gay marriages. Check your car enthusiasm at the door and submit to Johnny law.

LOL..Isn't California amazing! They feel a dude has the "right" to marry another dude but there is no "right" for you to mod your car and still keep it emissions legal. This state is amazing

 

[Quik Z06]

^ Lol no actually prop 8 didn't pass, so I guess were not ok with 2 guy's getting married

 

[mswaim]

I think if two guys get married; eventually one of them will end up with an "altered emissions control device"..............:fart:
