The JDM Culture

The JDM car scene is one of the most exotic, yet exciting parts of the car community. JDM means Japanese Domestic Market, so all the cars that are in the JDM community are designed in japan by companies such as Honda, Toyota, Mitsubushi, etc. These cars have limitless customization and the engines are built to be very tunable.

One of the most iconic JDM legends; The R34 Skyline GTR

Most of these JDM cars are right hand drive because they are imported from Japan. These cars are purposely designed to have no limit to tuning ability. These cars are also mainly open platform so it makes it very easy to tune these cars without having problems with any of the computers in the car. These cars are super notorious for car shows and they will catch everyone’s eye. A lot of these cars are great for drifting and that is what a lot of people love using these great cars for. However, one of the main problems with this community for me is the absurd amount of ricers. A ricer is someone that will spend all of their money on cosmetics and nothing at all on the performance of the engine. Overall though I love the JDM car community because it is full of great people but most importantly some super cool cars.
