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. The fact is that according to the team at JDM Engine World, the best place to buy JDM car parts » in Queens, that many JDM cars, due to the standard for certain things like safety and other regulations simply aren’t as good as other vehicles that were manufactured to be used in other countries. For instance, oftentimes the JDM versions of cars simply won’t match up to the safety and equipment specs of a car that was built to be driven on the roads of a country like New Zealand as we mentioned above, and they will often be given a different model or name as a result. One of the best examples of this, is the Mazda Axela, a car that is sold new in New Zealand and the US as the Mazda 3. JDM versions of the Axelas will have different specifications to the Mazda 3s, such as options for lower power engines and other items.
