Hi unfair,

Do you mean what are the requirements for registering a car in NJ or
for just visiting the state?

Regards,
hummer

I want to register the car in NJ, as I am living there now
any info?

Although this is just a general outline of NJ motor vehicle inspection
requirements, I wasn't able to find any indication that air bags are a
requirement in order to pass the inspection.

http://www.state.nj.us/mvc/cleanair/Poster_2.pdf

Within the last several years they have enacted legislation
(federally, I believe) that requires manufacturers to include air bags
in their newly produced cars, however, It is to my understanding that
cars produced before these restrictions were imposed are exempt.  Also
(sidenote), automobiles that are 25 years or older (classified as
historic) are completely exempt from inspection requirements.

thanks for the info!
