![]() I really think that we've all benefited from your intelligence. Ĭhopaholic- way to contribute to the conversation. It never had a twin turbo or any of the other things that you mentioned. All of the cars I see now are "JDM INSPIRED, y0 LOLZ OMG!!!1111!11oneone"īladerunner- the 200SX (in Europe) is the Nissan Silvia. ![]() ![]() People calling their USDM civics JDM is a totally different (and sad) thing. Quote from mrodgers :The only thing I had ever heard/seen when the term (or acronym) JDM is used is when someone with a Japanese vehicle here in the states that has gawdy body kits, big oversized ridiculous wing, and huge ugly "bling bling" wheels with tires that have a profile of about 5 mm gets called a ricer or his car gets called rice and he argues that "No way, it's not rice, it's JDM!" So, sorry if I called it rice or made a rice comment. So, sorry when someone mentions JDM to someone in the US, because anything that actually is for performance that would be deemed JDM would be illegal, thus they go for the JDM body kits, wings, wheels, etc to attempt to get away from the "ricer" stereotype, thus saying JDM would just be rice. (just an example of something else that was always available outside the US). These came about just in the last few years, yet in Australia (and elsewhere?) Toyota has had the Hilux pickup truck (4 door truck) since the late 70's when the Toy pickup has been around. It's no longer the SUV that is the selling leader. Now 4 door pickup trucks are all the rage here in the US. So, in that respect, then yes, EDM or JDM would be much much better than USDM, but we are not capable of having that due to the law. So many VW vehicles and Subaru's that we could not have that was available anywhere else outside the US. We did not have the Escort, was it Cosworth or something, available. In the mid 80's, the Ford Escort was an underpowered economy POS in the US. JDM is an abbreviation for these three important words that you will have to remember while reading the rest of this article. JDM or Japanese Domestic Market refers to anything and everything made in Japan, exclusively for the local Japanese market. Just look back in the mid 80's when the UK was in love with the Ford Escort. Let’s get right into the real JDM meaning. JDM stands for Japanese Domestic Market JDM cars are built solely for use in Japan This makes JDM cars found outside of Japan very interesting to some car enthusiasts What Is JDM Culture JDM culture is a name given to a lifestyle built around a keen interest in owning, driving, and tuning JDM cars. We have never had the same vehicles available that is available elsewhere in the world. USDM would be vehicles and parts manufactured for the US complying with the laws in the US. ![]() So, now that we have USDM and EDM on top of JDM, then it all comes down to complying with that area's laws? JDM would be illegal here then as JDM would mean meant for Japan's market, thus for the laws in Japan and not here in the US. Drivers who consider themselves beginners may continue to display the sign, even after the period of a year.The only thing I had ever heard/seen when the term (or acronym) JDM is used is when someone with a Japanese vehicle here in the states that has gawdy body kits, big oversized ridiculous wing, and huge ugly "bling bling" wheels with tires that have a profile of about 5 mm gets called a ricer or his car gets called rice and he argues that "No way, it's not rice, it's JDM!" So, sorry if I called it rice or made a rice comment. This obligation is only for a standard license, not for motorcycles, large vehicles, special cars and so on. A driver must display this mark on the front and back of the car for one year after they obtain a standard driver’s license. The Shoshinsha mark or Wakaba mark, introduced in 1972, is a green and yellow V-shaped symbol that new Japanese drivers must display on their cars for one year. So the "JDM Leaf" or known better in Japanese the "Wakaba" or the "Shonshisha" mark is officially "The Beginners Drivers' Sign". I didn't want to confuse everybody from the beginning by not explaining what JDM means haha But many of the people that have this sticker don't even have a clue what it means, and if i were them i would take it off immediately hahahaīefore I start JDM means Japanese Domestic Model. ![]()
