TeamCF Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 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.

TheLoyale Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamCF Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STI_Wolf Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I thought JDM meant Japanese Dealer Market... like OEM.. whats OEM mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamCF Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 "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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
