Yes SR's do have emissions control devices. Namely the Charcoal Canister and EAI (Air Injection which is a valve stuck to the side of the engine).
If you hook it all up and it's all stock, it should pass a sniffer test. Visual they will USUALLY pass as well (I don't know Nevadas testing procedures, so I cant be responsible if an SR passes or not). Here in Arizona they look and see "Nissan" on the engine, look to see if your charcoal canister is hooked up, do a sniff test then send you on your merry way.

When I say emissions I mean EGRs and the other what not that US states require. Charcoal canisters don't effect what comes out of your exhaust for the most part(which is what someone ignoring the fact that the engine is a SR will only care about), they collect evaporated gas when the car is turned off, passing the vapors into the engine when it is first turned on to burn. And Arizona passing visual is one thing but Nevada(at least in Reno) will not visually pass a SR because its not a legal engine in the states.
Here in Cali it is getting hard to find some one to look the other way because the state is now charging 20k in fines and pulling smog license for even one botched smog job now. Most guys wont risk their lively hood anymore.
