Tailgate and rear lights unless its a march already.

 

[djlee_dj]

doesnt have to be micra specific .....

very simple, minimal body-styling, but very low..... coilovers are a must.

special paintwork, lots of sponsors graphics..... and an engine thats as tuned as possible..

agreed :grinning: .....what he said lol!!!! (cheers that Antony)

"smoothness" is another......i believe

 

[Antony]

thats what im going for...... stripped, race-style, thats what the SR badge came from , "Street Racer" so if it looks and goes like a track car but is road legal... then its as JDM as your gonna get, but it also has to have Japanese Domestic Market parts, so the march tailgate is also a must, as is japanese engine bay graphics...etc etc

 

[Corbs]

Ok, JDM... Japanese Domestic Market..... refers only to manufacturers spec for a particular country. So no graphics.

 

[Antony]

yes, but it also refers to the Japanese scene of modifying, whereby the only parts they have on their vehicles are from japan.

so if your talking jdm graphics are fine as long as they are jap companies.

OEM is different, that is where only parts available to that range are on the vehicle.. for example.... the super S bumpers on a 1.0S is OEM....

 

[Corbs]

Nope, thats only because its a phrase thats been misused and bandied about by the media in recent months/years.

Although, on the other hand, people do understand what you mean when you say it, even if it is used wrongly... I just like moaning :wasntme:

They're on my shopping list.

The term JDM Japanese domestic market (JDM) is used to describe Japan's economic market for Japanese-brand goods, chiefly automobiles and parts.

So technically, as long as the parts (and gfx) come from Japan (Nismo, Autech, etc) your car will have JDM parts

 

[kristian]

This is true... but its more of a slang term nowadays..

Such as the 'euro look'

... a Japanese car can look 'euro'... Deep dish rims.. smooth and low..

.. despite it not being a Euro car..

[squarepants]

this is what JDM is in my eyes...standard cars (or parts) that are only relaesed in japan that the doesnt have.....i.e the nissan march cupholder or the nissan march...as it was never realsed in the uk and only in japan................this thread is more about jap LOOK or JAPSTYLE not JDM look as if you wanted JDM look you would basiclly have a standard nissan march.
