You can register a car with an SR in it in cali. I had to do it when I got my salvage title. They basically just check the stickers on the underside of your hood, so make sure you have those stickers that come on a stock hood (Vacuum diagram, EGR, Emissions, etc.). Just get everything done at the DMV, it shouldn't be too hard. I had Washington plates on my car, it's just like registering another car no problems at all. And yeah I'm pretty sure you will have to get a smog, in socal guys do underground smogs for anywheres from (*EDITED for whiteytighties post below*)$100-$400. They have some where you don't even need to bring your car hahaha.

Being out of state, the car will have to be verified. I had people come to my house to verify the car. They basically just checked some VINs and I think mileage...nothing special.
