Japanese domestic market refers to Japan's home market for vehicles. For the importer, these terms refer to vehicles and parts designed to conform to Japanese regulations and to suit Japanese buyers. The term is abbreviated JDM.

What is JDM?

For a Japanese domestic vehicle to be imported to the US, the law requires it to be 25 years or older.

What is the 25 year law?

Negotiate with a seller, an auction, or a private party. Be ready with upfront payment for the vehicle. Going through a team like Top Rank provides you with services for negotiation, storage, inspection, and export.

How do I import a car directly form Japan?

After a 16-year hiatus, the GT-R name was revived in 1989 as the BNR32 ("R32") Skyline GT-R. This model GT-R proceeded to win the Japanese JTCC Group A series championship four years in a row. The R32 GT-R also had success in the Australian Touring Car Championship helping the R31 Skyline GTS-R to victory in 1990 and winning alone in 1991 and 1992, until a regulation change excluded the GT-R in 1993.

How did the Nissan R32 GT-R become iconic in motorsports?

Make sure the car is from a regional environment that wouldn't be notorious for causing damage or gradual rusting over time. Overall condition and mileage are also key to note.

How do you identify a reliable car to import?

Along with reading odometers, it's good to inspect other interior and exterior conditions to further depict a car's mileage accuracy. Top Rank describes their process for verifying mileage on JDM cars.

How is the mileage verified on JDM cars?

Check fender wells for signs of rust. Underneath the car, check to see if undercoating was in fact applied in its past. The chassis color should show on the underside.

Rust can be a deal killer. Avoid it.
