They originally said that I would need all of the original pollution control kit for an 85 model (i.e. carbon canister, etc etc) as shown in the pic at http://datsun1200.com/modules/mediawi ... hp?title=Carbon_Canister. Because they couldn't give me a statement of requirements of what this actually was, they agreed that if I put in an EGR and the emissions test came back OK, then they'd pass it mechanically.

Shakn, for the ID check they seem to just check the compliance plate and engine number (mine didn't match) but they won't pass me through ID until the vehicle standards guys sign off on the above stuff, as well as get a letter from the office of consumer affairs giving me permission to "interfere with an odometer". It is a pain in the neck.
