Nissan is one of the most famous Japanese domestic-market automakers. It produces a number of models that are designed for the Japanese domestic market, including the Nissan Micra, Altima and Sunny.
Nissan is based in Japan and many of its models are designed solely for the Japanese market. However, the company also has a strong presence in other global markets, including North America and Europe.
As a result, not all Nissan cars are Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) models. Whether or not a particular Nissan model is JDM will ultimately depend where it was originally sold.

The Silvia has a great balance of power, handling and driving feel. It’s an extremely capable car on both the track and on the street. It’s a true drivers car, and it’s definitely one of the best JDM Nissans out there.
The Silvia, a popular car in its home country of Japan, was also made for export under the 200SX and 240SX badges.
Nissan GT-R
In 2007, Nissan discontinued the Skyline name from its newest sports car, and the GT-R became a model in its own right.
The GT-R was a bold move, but it ended up paying off. Not only is the GT-R widely considered one of the best Japanese sports cars ever built, but it also helped boost Nissan's popularity in Japan.
Powered by a twin-turbocharged V6 engine, the GT-R is an absolute monster on both the track and the street. Its latest model can reach 0-60 mph in under 3 seconds and top speeds of around 200 mph.
The GT-R offers a combination of superb performance and comfortable luxury, making it one of the most capable sports cars on the market.
