Unfortunately I don¡¯t know anyone in Reno who can pull that off, it¡¯s going to be a challenge. The easiest way would be to pick a California compliant swap since NV will honor any of those, but sounds like you¡¯re committed to the current setup at this point.?
You¡¯re correct, you¡¯re limited to 5,000 miles a year with classic plates, which is all self reported mileage. I travel quite a bit in ours and have yet to surpass the 5k mile annual limit, but I have another car I daily drive. But we¡¯ve made trips from Reno to Canada and the like, the biggest was a loop of the entire western US last year and that came in at about 4500 miles. But if you plan on exceeding 5000 miles a year it won¡¯t be an option. ?
If you¡¯ve paid the shop, you might have a valid case to get money back or have a complaint with the California bureau of automotive repair if they are unable to finish and refuse to refund you in part.?
So I guess I didn¡¯t answer your question, as I don¡¯t know anyone here that¡¯ll be able to get you squared away. Hopefully someone can chime in with a shop in Cali that has pulled off an OBD2 Subaru swap and maintained all of the OBD2 emissions components.?
I also know there are brokers who will register your car for you in states that do not require smog, but that most likely be illegal.?
Good luck!

I've been told that 'Historical Vehicle' plates aren't suitable for RV's because of the annual mileage limits.

What I'm hearing from the inspection station in Sparks is that they want to OBD-II scan it and get an "all good" response.
?
Part of my problem is that I've already paid for it - and now finding out that they can't do it.
?
The other part of my problem is that they've spent a year and a half trying to do it.? (Did I mention that I've already paid for it?)

So yes, I want the problem addressed.? If you know of a "can do" person or shop, I'm all ears.
