I have seen a bunch with a/c and ps pumps included for less money. Go for it with the JDM's, good stuff.Ĭlick to expand.So this dealer is selling a basic ez30r long block w/o any accessories. You can read into it as much as you like, but at the days end, JDM is what's up. It's safe to say "Shaken", Japan car inspection, is most of the time going to get a car out of service way long before you'd ever see a car fail here in the states, so you could bank on the engines and transmission coming from those cars having low miles like I quoted before. I don't really worry about claims like that, because you'll just never know. To some people it's not common sense to not believe the seller of these JDM's knows the exact mileage. So many clean ones on eBay and you could eat off them. Generally, you have a darn good chance of getting a superb engine in a JDM selected engine. (hopefully it'll get over here eventually) I don't know where I heard "Gentleman's Law" or "Gentelman's agreement", but I probably misquoted terrible on that and it's having nothing to do with JDM, I dunno.Īnother forum member gave a great explanation of his point of view on JDM, but it's under the wrong thread. But given the high number of young cars taken off the road in the cities, there should be plenty of low mileage hardware available for export. I don't know if the laws are more lax in remote sections of Kyushu, but I saw some old metal in the hills there. But I digress.Ĭountry cars are more likely to get run into the ground. There has been much written that these laws were the brainchild of the auto industry lobby and have little to do with real safety, and are instead to fuel car sales.

If you are face with a mandatory full brake system replacement at the 7 year mark (as in pedal to caliper carrier, and everything in between), you begin to think about that cost vs that of a new car. The article you sited is pretty accurate. We also have 'extended family' in Japan thanks to our taking in several Japanese kids thru high school student exchange programs, so have spent time as a guest with real car owner families when I've been overseas. Some unique models and versions for the Japanese market are available and can be found in the links below.I've been to Japan a number of times, and toured Toyota assembly in Aichi and been to Subaru Headquarters when it was still in Shinjuku (Tokyo). The majority of the vehicles in Subaru’s line-up are sold all over the world. Soon after STI started to develop more of regular Subaru’s. In the mid 90’s Subaru made fame with its rally success due to involvement of STI (Subaru’s motorsport and sports division). The words that first come to mind when thinking about Subaru are off-road capabilities and durability. From then on wards, Subaru started to gain more and more fame with its all-wheel drive vehicles and boxer engines. Subaru’s first successful car is the Subaru 360 which was sold from 1958 until 1971. The logo has not changed much over the years and is one of the most recognizable logo’s in the industry. The name Subaru is a reference to the Pleiades star cluster and that is reflected in the logo.
In the 1950’s Fuji Heavy Industries started to make cars under the name of Subaru.
