Porsche PET is the online route to genuine Porsche parts identification in Japan. Built on Porsche PET, it covers the JDM Porsche models delivered to this right-hand-drive (RHD) market and keeps factory supersessions current.
Why do Japan workshops use Porsche PET?
In short: Porsche PET earns its place by pinpointing the genuine Porsche part for the exact build, not a generic family list. Japan's volume leaders are Toyota, Honda, and Suzuki, but Porsche holds a committed owner base whose cars still need precise OEM identification that generic aftermarket lookups rarely get right.
It maps each VIN to one exact build, so a Japan technician sees only the parts that fit that car — not a generic family list. With ~90,000 workshops competing on turnaround, that precision is the margin.
What Porsche models will I service most in Japan?
The Porsche models you'll most often identify parts for in Japan are 911, Macan, and Panamera (full list below). Porsche PET covers every market year and engine option for each, with exploded diagrams down to clip and fastener level. Genuine Porsche part numbers follow a format like 991 351 045 00.

Are Japan-spec Porsche models covered?
Yes — cars here run right-hand-drive (RHD) and are homologated to JDM domestic-market specifications; that combination changes brackets, harnesses, lighting and emissions hardware versus other markets. VIN lookup accounts for all of it.
Japan's four-season conditions drive wear patterns that shape what gets replaced — and the correct part still depends on the exact build. Porsche PET keeps that identification accurate.
