Japanese tend to use a lot of fine threads so you would have to go to a shop and ask for M10 Fine or M10 extra fine. These are available in ISO metric which is widely available. The bit that is different is the spanner size. ISO/DIN and JIS are different on a number of sizes. You'll find the car has a lot of 12mm headed bolts, the standard in ISO/DIN is 13mm
