Hi folks, I am currently up in alaska and picked up a 91 HDJ81 (JDM import) that is registered in Alaska.
I will most likely to move back to california in the future and seeking how to legally register my hdj81 in california.
My question is, Will CA dmv let me register my hdj81 as a diesel?
Right now, it's titled in Alaska as a regular fj80 (JT3FJ80xxxxxxxx) - I guess the previous owner some how registered it as fj80 since it was never offered as a diesel.
I wonder if there's a way to update the system in alaska to recognize my 80 as a diesel?
I am trying to avoid future headaches of smog checks (I know my 4.2 TD will not pass smog over there... )
I would very much appreciate any thoughts or experience of registering out of state titled diesel import in california.
