The JDM world is by far one of the most confusing and tricky scenes to describe in car culture. The fact is that JDM cars have a reputation, that is sometimes very well deserved, for not being anywhere near as good as their domestic market versions. One of the best examples of this, according to the team at JDM Engine World, the best place to buy used engines in Queens, lies in the New Zealand car market. Because of its close proximity to Japan, many vehicles in New Zealand are vehicles that were imported at some stage from Japan in used condition. Approximately 60% of all cars that are considered to be new to the fleet, registered to drive on New Zealand’s roads each year are used Japanese import vehicles. These cars will often vary from being very recent models, to cars that are up to 10+ years old and the exact requirements of New Zealand’s import laws are – like most other countries – relatively old and antiquated as there are exceptions for vehicles past their prime, and other exemption categories too.
