JDM-> Japanese Domestic Market
USDM -> US Domestic Market
EDM - European Domestic Market

JDM cars usually are just made better; engine, looks, everything. They generally have more powerful motors, better interiors (like power locks and windows standard), and right hand drive. They are also the only true Type R's (except for the type r integra, that you can find here). This is also why people go ga-ga over jdm nissan skylines, cause they are a superior car in every way.

J-spec is another term that people seem to use interchangeably with JDM, but I think they are wrong. J-spec refers to aftermarket parts that are of a high enough quality that the japanese, who are concerned about the best performace, will use on their cars.
This kinda means that a Tanabe exhaust would be considered jspec, while a pacesetter exhaust would not be.

EDM isnt really a concern for most people, because while some of the edm cars have better engines, they're just not as desirable. I actually dont know too much about their stuff.

Please someone correct me where I've gone wrong here, I'm sure I made a mistake somewhere.

this is just my take on jdm vs. usdm

also, maybe a JDM forum section might not be a bad idea (?)
