The Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) car engines have been a household name on the market of used car parts globally The main difference of an engine that has run in Japan and the exact same engine that has run in any other country in the world is the different treatment that the two receive, which leads to a tremendous difference in their overall quality. Below, we will analyze the reasons that make the JDM engines more reliable.
The Japanese Government has very strict inspections regarding the state of the cars Every Japanese car is inspected thoroughly every 2 years. In a process that is called "Shaken" This process includes the tests below: • An external inspection of the vehicle, in order to make sure that the Japanese regulations about the car exterior are met, and there are no illegal modifications such as big body kits that increase the dimensions of the car. • A thorough inspection of the wheel alignment, to make sure that the wheels are in line and the car turns safely. • An inspection of the speedometer, to test its accuracy. • A check of its headlights, to make sure that they are placed correctly and aligned. • The brakes of the vehicle are also inspected, to check if the vehicle can reduce speed safely and on time. • An inspection of the exhaust gas and the muffler, that tests the car's carbon monoxide emissions, so it does not pollute the environment, and also checks how loud the noise of the exhaust is in order to limit the sound pollution from the vehicles. • An inspection of the undercarriage that checks the car's suspension parts. The Japanese tend to recycle their cars early When a vehicle is older than 10 years, then it needs to pass a mini-shaken inspection, the year after the shaken. Its overall cost can reach up to the 50% of the cost of the regular shaken. If you compound these costs with the fact that new cars in Japan are not really expensive, makes it easy to understand the reasons why the average age of vehicles in Japan is 15 years. The Quality of Pavement in Japan is controlled According to the Ministry of Land, Transport, Infrastructure, and Tourism, in Japan, the total road length was 341.509 km in 2012. The asphalt plants in Japan produce about 55 million tons of hot-mix asphalt annually, and about 41.9 million of those contain recycled hot-mix asphalt. Most of this is used for surface repairs, keeping the road quality at a very good status. Because of the high quality of the roads, the vehicles suspensions and engine do not suffer too much. Public Transport in Japan is Convenient This is probably the most important factor that leads to the good quality of the JDM engines. Public transport in Japan is reliable, convenient and cost-free, so many people will take the public transport to go to work, which leads to the good maintenance and low mileage of cars in Japan.
