The Japan domestic market (JDM) is a term used to describe Japan's market for purchasing things, chiefly automobiles. A similar term, United States domestic market (USDM) is used to differentiate US-only products. Some people interpret "M" as model. The term also pertains to the parts and products only available within the specific local Marketplace. Therefore, unless you are in Japan, parts have to be specifically imported to your target nation. There are a variety of importers that bring in these parts and have now expanded what once was a JDM only product into other marketplaces.
In recent years the popularity of JDM auto parts within the United States has grown significantly as a result of the import tuning wave. Part of the reasoning behind this could be associated with drifting, a a traditionally Asian motorsport to only recently make its way to U.S. soil. As a result it is often believed that Japanese companies, because of their experience in developing sports such as drifting have great experience with developing the capabilities of these cars; therefore being able to research design and test parts more well suited to the demands of the sport.
What also sets JDM parts aside from others is the fact that Japanese Vehicles usually had different features and equipment to vehicles delivered elsewhere. In the case of Honda specifically, there have been different versions of the famed Type R B18C, B16B and K20A engines which were sent to other markets. Usually Japanese vehicle manufacturers have detuned these engines for other markets. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/japan_domes... )
