August 4, 200916 yr I've been here on this site for about a year and this JDM pops up a lot. It seems to come up in steering, motors, etc etc (adding) used motors, racing motors, body parts, seats .......... in this case google in not my friend Edited August 4, 200916 yr by bobaru adding
August 4, 200916 yr Yep, Also these are: USDM "United States Domestic Market" EDM (you guessed it) "European Domestic Market" -Tom
August 4, 200916 yr Yeah google can take you for a fun trip sometimes and still never give you the answer you want. To further, quickly, explain it's the stuff you'd find on a Japanese car in Japan. Parts/accessories that would not normally be on the same model of car that they send to the US for example. Like if they put different lights or something on depending on the country it's going to. Or a different engine we can't get here. The tuner guys tend to really be into the JDM stuff.
August 5, 200916 yr Yes another good example is like in some other countrys you can have an EA82 style car with an EA71! Another is like the '05-'07 Imps, in other countrys they use the 1.8 EJ18, I think Honduras is one country that sells them that way.. Also some models/Brands may not make it to the U.S, like. Daihatsu, Mazdas AZ. Toyotas Hi-Ace, Mitsus Space Gear ect.. Funny isn't it. -Tom
August 5, 200916 yr i have seen diahatsus here. and some cars make it here under a different name. like the non-racey type of newer skyline is acually the funky looking lexus coupe
August 5, 200916 yr i have seen diahatsus here. and some cars make it here under a different name. like the non-racey type of newer skyline is acually the funky looking lexus coupe Correct, I might remember seeing Daihatsus (But not many) and yes, that Lexus 2 and 4 door are both Skylines in Japan.
August 5, 200916 yr Lexus is Toyota. The "Skylines" (G35 I believe) are Infinity. Nissan's high end brand. We do get the new GTR here though. Seen a couple around Portland already.
August 5, 200916 yr "Original Equipment Manufacturer" So not always the company that made the car but the company that made the part for the company that made thee car. Remember. These days most car manufacturers (at least the US ones, not looked into others) do not make all the parts that go into their cars. They make some key components (body, drivetrain), then gather all the parts from the companies they contracted to make their parts and assemble them. Most the parts in my Focus are from Germany or Japan. Including the engine (Japan/Mazda) and transmission (Germany). Ford just stamped out the body and put it together. Those compaines are still "OEM"
August 5, 200916 yr JDM yOOOOO!!!!!! haha recently JDM has gone mad in our japanese club, if it aint JDM, well, your not on top matey JDM stuff is usually higher spec, i.e the JDM spec impreza sti's of the first shape, were alot more 280 bhp standard out the factory, also mitsubushi market there pajero as a shogun over here, the pajero having lots more features (elecy mirror, chrome mirrors, air con etc) and honda integras, different lights, more power, different trim level, it goes on over all the japanese car manufacturers... great thing is, all the JDM stuff is importable over to here, casue they drive on the same side!
