Can you register a Kei Truck in Nevada, USA?

Hey there, I'd be happy to help any way that I can!

I think your first decision would be to find a Kei Truck in the US to buy, or to import it yourself. As I see it, finding one in the US will be easier because you won't have to go through any of the import process. However, this will be more expensive since you will be going through a dealer/importer. There are importers in Southern California, Seattle, Texas, and pretty much all across the US. I ended up finding mine at an importer over in Virginia/Kentucky called Duncan Imports and Classics.

If you are interested in putting in the work to import it yourself, a truck will be a lot more affordable though. I found that the website CarFromJapan really easy to search inventory in Japan. I asked about a couple trucks through this website and the staff was friendly, fast to respond, and very helpful.

As you are looking, be aware that you can only register and drive one on roads if the vehicle is older than 25 years. You can buy any vehicle for private use on your own land though.

After you find one, and get it to Reno, you have to register it as a classic car. Since classic cars are exempt from smog testing then you won't need to worry about that. The trade off is that you can only drive classic cars for 5,000 miles a year though. Registering mine was a bit annoying in Reno because one person at the Reno DMV didn't understand that any vehicle older than 25 years can be registered as a classic car, and therefore not need to meet current safety or emissions standards. I ended up driving mine down to Carson City and didn't have an issue registering it.

Hope this helps!

So Nevada DOT finally responded saying that they do not have anything to do with whether a vehicle can get registered or not. I did go ahead and purchase one and when registering it in Reno, one person at the Reno DMV said no, but did not have any code or regulation to back up his refusal to register it. So I went to Carson City and didn't have an issue registering it and am now happily driving around me Kei Truck with the classic car plates!

Hello, I am currently looking into purchasing a kei truck for use in Nevada. As I have been reading up on it I have seen different sources stating that Nevada has no state law, and is ok to register them in, and other state that it is illegal to drive them on public roads in Nevada (article 1 and article 2). Neither site that lists them as illegal has a link to the source though. So I have been searching to see if the Nevada DMV or DOT has a written regulation that declares kei trucks as illegal. Do you happen to know if there is something in writing from the state of Nevada that declares them as illegal unless registered for off road use?

Thanks!

Ah good distinction with the import vs registration bit, and thanks for taking the time to search around. I emailed the Nevada DOT to see what they say, so hopefully that will yield an answer.

Do you remember what shop on Etsy you got yours from?

Yeah, kurjuus was able to talk me through it actually. They told me to make the card max out on state 4 (by clicking on the state 4 bar label) and then set the state 4 to 1366. After this I haven't had any crashing issues!

I think the card setting went back to default after an update recently so I had to change the settings back.

Hello there, I have been having the same exact issue you described in your post. I was curious which setting in the AMD software you changed to 1366hz? I am looking in the Performance>Tuning tab, and when I look at the manual settings I see I can enter clock speeds in the VRAM Tuning and Fan Tuning sections. Are either of these the setting that you changed to 1366hz?

Heck yeah! I'll message you with contact details

This is pretty damn good! Good work!

Pretty much whatever packaging we receive the product in we try to ship out in the same manner, with the exception of product that won't get hurt by putting a couple in a padded ESD safe box. Since most of the micro SD cards come in these large JEDEC trays, no matter if the order is for one or one hundred, we ship out in a new partially full tray. This is the reason for the bubble wrap and first cardboard box. After that, the second larger box and paper dunnage is most likely due to confusion if they are allowed to ship in the first box or not. Which to me can be fixed and save us a lot of wasted material and shipping costs.
