NC Engine Swaps
NC Engine Swaps I'm putting a 2000 LS1 into a '95 Nissan.
Has anyone done a similar swap in NC and kept the car legal so that it can be inspected without bribery?
If so, what did you need to keep operational?

No sure of what NC's smog and swapping laws are, but in general... you will or should be perpared to swap every SMOG related equipement from the donner car to your Nissan. But if NC is relaxed in some area, then maybe you will not need all of the following.
O2 Sensors (both Front and Rear) in Correct OEM location
CAT's, in correct location as OEM would be.
EGR w/all hoses and pipes
AIR
HVAP connected to fuel tank and operated by the PCM
Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor (and maybe fuel level) feeding the PCM
Check Engine Light
PCM with correct VIN for the 2000 LS1
Basically your Nissan will be checked and smogged as a 2000 LS1 (F-Body or Vette).

Well, if it is a 95, you should only be required to get a safety inspection. Emission testing is on 96 and newer. You would not even need to pop the hood. Just check your lights, tires, windshield wipers, blinkers etc...
BTW starting in Oct 2008, there is no more windshield stickers, the inspections are linked to your license plate tabs, and yearly renewal is within a certain amount of time from your plate renewal.
