The title is misleading, nothing JDM about that car. Every pic i saw shows a USDM LHD 350Z, nothing that would set it off as a "JDM Interlagos Fire "

^ Yes 
Hmmm, your car doesn't have to be RHD to be JDM. Even UK spec models are RHD and have different bumpers, does that make them JDM? Converting your car from LHD to right doesn't constitute JDM either. That sprung up from the Honda heads and lost its "wow" factor as too many hype beasts are jumping on that trend and making too much of it. The 350z, GTR, and Murano are the only Nissan cars that are actually made AND assembled in Japan before it goes out on the market so LHD or RHD, the car has its base in Japan.
You need to understand first what the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) is before you make your statement. The market is split two folds; OEM and Aftermarket (my setup, aside from my OEM Nismo bumper). The commonality of the two that makes them JDM is "MADE IN JAPAN." Nothing on my car is JDM? Are you familiar with JDM parts? Nismo, SSR, Muteki, Sard, JP Aero, Amuse, Greddy, Eneos, Eclipse and Bride are all JDM. Yes I have a few parts that are not JDM, but 80% of my aftermarket parts are JDM thus the title.

Just bolt your steering wheel to the passenger side airbag for shows and THEN itll be JDM fresh.

No the Z is not JDM cause its made is Japan. Its just a USDM car made in Japan. Plain and simple.
The GayDM bandwagon is so played out, especially by Honda kids/typical ricers.

The only thing we agree on is to "disagree." I've had this thread for 17 months with 55 pages of photo's and discussion (67,000+ views) and aside from you, no one has ever accused my title of being misleading. That speaks volumes in itself. If you don't agree with me or my car that's completely fine; it won't hurt my feelings
