From my understanding you won't fail the smog test YET if you come in with a tune BUT you get immediately flagged and your next smog test you will have to go to the state ref. I believe there was a thread on this forum about someone going through this experience. There's good info on the GTR forums about this because they're getting absolutely fucked right now since those cars are targeted by the state.

Basically if someone can figure out how to change the CAL ID and CVN numbers to show stock figures while tuned they'll make a shit ton of money
Shoot! If you flash back to stock, will the CAL ID and CVN numbers show stock figures? Im only on a BM3 CS tune, but I'd rather not risk it.

Also, you think if I just edit my stock tune, those numbers will show stock figures? I just mainly want GTS roar and cold start delete.
