Link worked for me, takes you to the thread on the force pass patch in ECUflash.

Not relevant to your problem here in Cali though.

The IX cat will work on an VIII. If I remember right the rear 02 is placed differently between the two though.

Move to a state that does not smog your car, and keep it registered there. You dont want to deal with california smog.

unless your car was smogged in the past 90 days, the new owner will need a valid smog certificate in order to register it in his/her name. legally, it's the responsibility of the seller to smog the car before selling in CA.
