Break.

2010-11-21T18:17:00.005+02:00

Hey folks. I thought of making a post to explain why this blog hasn't been very active.
First of all I am amazed how the GTASA community is still alive and kicking. I got me a new PC over a month ago, so I have the chance to play GTA IV. I guess there's something special, something different about GTA San Andreas eventho GTA IV is a huge leap foward on GTA series.
Besides GTA IV I enjoy playing Fallout 3, which is one of the best games out there, and NFS Shift. That is whenever I get time. Every week is the same: School on workdays and dreaming of weekend when I get to party again hahah. I haven't had much interest in any sort of creative activity. I could blame 11th grade for that and all the bollocks included. Also I am in progress getting driver's license and hopefully get it in january.
There is some progress on my projects in that time. For example I worked on the RX7 a bit. Should post some screenshots soon and I hope to get working on these projects soon. I tried getting Zmodeler 2.2.3 to work so I could convert stuff from NFS Shift. Unfortunately Windows 7 begins to bitch about something whenever I try to start it. Same is it with the Zmod 2.2.2. I looked up and turns out to be a common problem, but haven't had a solution yet. I hope to get it fixed.
Anyways that's all for now. Hopefully I'll manage to keep this blog more alive. :P
See ya!

S13.5 updates

2010-08-15T23:33:00.006+03:00

Hey guys! Here are some updates on my S13.5! It's been through some changes as you can see. First of all I got rid of the carbon fiber texture from bonnet and replaced with body texture, same with roof texture. I don't know if it's me but the car looks somewhat better.

Here it you can see how well the S15 front end looks on S13 hatchback!

Made some details in the engine. Engine itself is now about 10 000 polygons.

A scratch made S13 dashboard is replaced with S15 dashboard from Juiced 2 since it didn't look good.

About other projects. I am quite close completing the 200sx project and also I have few ideas for my FD.

That's it for now!

Some updates!

2010-07-23T20:31:00.005+03:00

Hey! Here are few updates of ongoing projects.
First off we start on 200sx. I started to have second thoughts about the Zenki headlights since they were bollocks. I converted it back to Kouki. Also I thought of making Work Varianza T1S rims and trying them on the S14. My opinion they look quite good actually.
Probably I'll make a new muffler for it altho it's just a thought. One thing is for sure - this 200sx will always be a sleeper!

Completed a brake set for the S13.5. Cross-drilled rotors and Stoptech calipers.

Some changes of the 13b.

Random screenshot.

That'll be all for now!

Comments are always welcome!

S13.5 progress...

2010-07-12T17:01:00.003+03:00

Yes! Moment that some of you have been waiting. The updates of the S13.5 project!

Let's start with the most 'exciting' part - interior. Not much interior now isn't it? We have Recaro racing seats, new steering wheel, some gauges. Dashboard is scratch made by myself based on the NFS Pro Street one. Rear seats and some panels are removed.

I remade the rear bumper.

Some stickers.

Here we have fitted a radiator, fuel rail and some other details.

Beautiful, shiny paint 100% rust free! (heheh)

On top of all that I have made door handles for it (instead of a NFS PS texture) and the infamous Work Meister rims.
A lot of progress has been made. Still, I need to:
*do brakes
*do suspension
*correct and make some stuff for interior
*make some other corrections and anything which comes to mind.

That'll be it until next time!

Nissan S13.5 RB26DETT (W.I.P)

2010-06-15T14:56:00.005+03:00

Hey guys! Glad to see positive feedback on my FD! Thought of giving a little update on my newest project. It's a 240SX (S13) with a Silvia S15 front end, could be simply referred 'strawberry face conversion' due S15's front end. On top of the conversion it has different engine also.
So far I have matched the both ends, fitted the engine, added bumpers and made rear bumper and side skirts fit on the 240SX. Along that, engine bay is completed and the whole car is textured.

Carbon Fiber bonnet and the roof is painted black.

Engine fitted...

It took me actually just few days to make the engine. Air filters are taken from my S14. Polycount is dramatically lower then on my previous RB26. It should be nearly 8000 right now, but it's in progress also.

This is it so far. There's a lot to do:
*Get it in-game (top priority)
*complete the engine
*make a better dashboard (It has a lousy NFS one)
*interior stuff (seats, roll cage etc.)
*make proper rims for it (considering: Work Meister S1 or Volk CE28)
*anything else that pops to my mind

That's all for now!

Mazda RX7 FD!

2010-06-07T13:40:00.006+03:00

Hi folks! Can't believe another month has passed since last update. No worries tho', because 10th grade is behind and I have 3 months of summer break. That means I got more time on my hands and hopefully I could update more frequently.
Anyways. Many people have really wanted the 200SX for download already. Why? I have no idea! It isn't flashy, Unless you don't keep the bonnet up or look inside there's nothing much interesting. I'm planning to do more works on it so stay tuned and stop asking for download.
What I have completed is the AE86. I have thought of sharing it, because there may be some people who would really enjoy it by driving or using some parts on their creations (hopefully asking for my blessing). We'll see about that!
To the point now! During the 200sx I had a slight crush on RX7 FD. Wanted to do few modifications to a stock one. I have swapped the stock bumpers to C-West ones (from Juiced 2). It still has stock bonnet and pop up headlights. It's riding on 5zigen FN01R-C rims. Inside we get HKS gauges, roll cage and a new steering wheel. I have created a twin turbo 13b engine for it.

My AE86, RX7 and a beautiful R33 by Matheus-340

Clean metallic paint with no rust at all. :P

That's all for now.
Big thanks for Neos7 who bothered to give me Juiced 2 file for RX7.

200SX revealed!

2010-05-08T13:23:00.005+03:00

Finally took time to post the 200SX. Been working on it as much as I had time or will and achieved great progress on it.
As seen on the small teaser pic, I have converted Kouki headlights to Zenki headlights. I thought about converting the taillights also but the Kouki ones actually look better. I have swapped the stock rims to Work VS-XX rims. This 200sx also features a tuned SR20DET, Tein sport suspension, cross drilled brake rotors with Endless brake pads, Recaro racing seats and much more. All scratch made! :)

On top of the racing seats inside we have:
Illuminating gauges, Momo steering wheel, an custom gear shifter.

Took a while to get the brake pad placing right.

Entire engine (not including engine bay) is nearly 8000 polies.

This is it! Car ain't finished yet, still needs shit to be done.

Comments and suggestions are more than welcome!

Gratitude & things to come...

2010-04-18T10:46:00.004+03:00

It's been 2 months since the last post. Time is sure flying!
Anyway I wanted to thank people for feedback on the Levin. Also thanks to the guy who pointed out the obvious by calling me a "selfish asshole" (heheh). Hopefully I try to dedicate more time on mods.

Any progress on something during the 2 months? Sure there is...

That's all for now!

Gone Levin!

2010-02-24T13:12:00.008+02:00

Helloo! As promised, the AE86 hits the blospots once again. First of all, as said in the title, I converted it into a Levin as planned. Also I remade the front bumper (again) and raised the lip of the rear bumper. Both bumpers are painted black for better looks (my opinion). Overall it has slightly more stock(-ish) and clean look. Another thing i wanted to do to install these rear lights as seen on screen shots. I find them very good looking and very suitable for my Levin. Another notable update is the wheels I made. I replaced old ones with some fabulous Advan A3A 3-spoke rims which i find really great looking, especially on AE86's. Engine hasn't got any changes, only a color change on the valve cover and made a new intercooler. On top of this i finished the suspension i was working on. Did some 'detuning' on the interior by installing the stock panels and rear seats.
I'm currently out of ideas what to do on the AE86. Right now I keep working on the 200sx. I have made some massive progress on it. So stay tuned for updates! :P

Some cool images! Finally found me the perfect ENB series version!

New intercooler looks much better then the old one!

Valve cover's color changed to more lighter blue.

So this is it! More to come soon...

AE86 updates

2010-01-10T14:55:00.007+02:00

Back here on blogspots again. Some of you may have seen me on SA-MP already. After that comeback post of mine, i was shocked how much response i got. I can see this place is still quite popular among fellow GTA fanatics :D. I thank everyone for their comments on my AE86.
I have spent much of my time working on the AE86 and it seems like it will not be done so soon. I have made some progress on it. For start i have fixed numerous bugs, made some re-arrangements to the interior (dashboard to be more specific). For a while i had a problem with the headlights. I tried to make some fog lamps for this but they didn't look so good. So finally i decided to pop up the headlights permanently. Im panning to convert it into a Levin instead because i find them better looking then Truenos. Personal opinion. The rear spoiler i had before got removed since i found it quite silly. Engine haven't been touched, apart from few texture changes. Some modifications were made on bumpers also.

Real drifting action, not just photoshop. ;)

All the digits and needles are white because im using the original vehiclelights texture. I used another vehiclelights textures for them.

Attempt to make axles and suspension for this car. Front ones need to be done.

That would be all for now. I might soon post some stuff about my JDM contest entry which is a Honda CRX. Soon i would do some progress on the S14 also.

It's been a while...

2009-12-13T16:52:00.006+02:00

Hello everyone! It's been nearly a year since i last updated my blog. For i while i had lost interest in modding, but last few months i have regained that interest. During that time i have started quite few projects. I started a project on Skyline R32 GT-S, but lost interest on it. After the skyline, i started working on a AE86. That project became a more serious one.

The AE86. Started this project somewhere in summer. Managed to stay with the original idea of AE86 with Nissan's CA18DET engine swap. Entire engine is made from scratch. I have also done huge modifications to the interior for lightweight purpose. On top of that i have modified the exterior.

Here you can see the engine. A modified CA18DET with fuel rail, fuel pressure regulator, turbo, aftermarket radiator and intercooler. For support there's a strut bar.

Side skirts are actually modified by moving polygons.

Front bumper is mostly scratch made. Own design, didn't follow any real life front bumper.

Gauges, speedometers and such need to be redone. Probably making them all illuminate like the turbo gauge. Also there's a racing steering wheel and (shitty) sport pedals.

That decal ain't just for show ;)

It may seem to be done, but i am still not happy with some stuff.

On top of this, i have another project started.

That would be all for now folks. I will try to update this blog more frequently and show more stuff.

Bye!

200SX with RB26

2009-02-09T18:47:00.011+02:00

Hi! Long time no see. I am here to present my newest 'creation'. Actually i managed to go with some damn S14 period where a lot of people made some shitty S14's. Not me! Been working on this for over a month whenever i got time n shit.

So, what i created is a Nissan 200SX with a RB26DETT. Im not kidding, it actually has a RB26. It's based on my converted 200sx from Juiced 2. Everything except the seats, bumpers and bonnet are scratch made. Everything else is from Juiced 2 so i don't need to credit anyone but the nice folks at THQ who blessed us with their decently detailed cars. Polycount of the entire car (including wheels) goes up to astonishing 120 000 polies *insert people calling me a detail whore here*.

So what on earth i have changed then?
*exterior* Front & Rear bumper, Side skirts, Decals (made from scratch because i couldn't be bothered messing around with alpha files lol), Carbon fiber bonnet, VOLK GT LM4 Nismo 17'' rims, some message in japanese letters which says "holy shit, oversteer!" just to mock kids who put japanese letters on their cars w/o knowing what it means. Even if they do, it's something lame as "drift" ,"touge" or "panda rape".

*interior* No brutal get-rid-of-everything stuff this time. Kept the back seats and replaced front seats with Recaro racing seats. Also it has a Momo gear stick, Momo steering wheel and gauges.

*MOTORRR related!* New engine bay, New RB26 Twin turbo, air filters, Koyo radiator, big intercooler, AEM fuel rail, fuel pressure regulator and other basic shit. Motor itself takes nearly 49 000 polies.

Enjoy these screenshots!

That's all folks!
Turned out to be a pretty decent drift car eh?
Note: The RB26 was actually made for the 240 but it will have a single turbo. I didn't even plan the 200sx, just happened that way ;).

So what's next? I will try to finish my 240 project. Maybe im going to make something else. Nissan, Toyota, Honda, whatever, only time will tell.

Did i say i don't need to credit anyone? Of course i do.
Shitload of thanks to people who bothered to comment my work or share any tips.

Suggestions, critic, comments are always welcome.

Good Night!

EF9 Turbo completed!

2008-12-29T18:15:00.015+02:00

Helloo! Missed me? Of course you didn't! But im here nonetheless. It's been a shitload of time since my last appearance on this blog. Thru this time i have worked on EF9 whenever i got time, even managed to complete it.

Before we go see the Honda, have a look at the Rota Slipstream. My very first scratch made rims. Poly count is nearly 2200, so they're quite low poly for me. These are meant for the Honda but they might fit brilliantly on other cars too. I hope i will make some other rims in the future.

Now for the Supra Killer!

Let's start with the exterior part. Nothing really special about it. I added some trims to make it look more like a civic. Bonnet pins, custom taillights, stock bumpers. There you go, basic shit!

But be amazed of the screen shots anyway.

Now the interior part should be more interesting. I created a Oil Pressure gauge along with boost and air/fuel pressure gauge. Also i replaced the ugly blue seats with only one black Sparco seat with belts. On top of that i created a roll cage, steering wheel by Sparco as you know.

And at last: the engine. This B16A Vtec has Garrett turbocharger, APEXi GT front mount intercooler, APEXi N1 exhaust, AEM fuel rail, radiator, blow off valve, AEM fuel pressure regulator, air filter, large diameter downpipe, Cusco type OS strut bar, recreated valve cover and bucketloads of different stuff. Parts may not look identical to real ones, just created stuff after pictures to make them look real as possible.

Doesn't take a genius to understand that this car is made for racing and track days. Polycount of the entire EF9 is nearly 100 000.
For next i will create a RB26DETT for my 240 or even do some other cool stuff. We'll see.
Of course i wont stop making stuff, since it's a good way for killing time.

For finish, here's something for all of you 350z fanboys!

Good night!

Turbo EF9 goes ingame!

2008-11-09T12:42:00.008+02:00

Oi again! Not long ago i introduced my EF9 project. From that til now i have done some great progress on it. Most of the work went on the interior and bug fixing, but i worked on the engine also. Here are list of changes including pictures. No fancy HDR, instead you get Anti Aliasing 3!:
*Engine*
New turbo and downpipe setup (should be correct now), created a radiator, replaced some textures, created a strut bar.

*Exterior*
Added more chrome on the body, Removed specular from black trims, created a grill on front bumper.

*Interior*
Created a steering wheel, textured everything, added a pair of racing seats, created a roll cage, tachometer and gauges from my 2 fourty (couldn't bother making these again lol).

Shit to do:
-Even more bug fixes!
-Create more details and parts for the engine.
-Create some stuff for interior.
-Work on exterior if i get any good ideas.
-Add sponsor decals. (maybe!)

Next time i hope i could add entire list of parts, their manufactor and model. Since im creating (or trying to create) real parts. No imaginary crap! :D

Big thanks to:
Drifty - For Help and tips
Bl3w - For Help
Tom2 - For the EF9 model

And thanks to anyone who could bother commenting!

Tips and comments are always welcome! And of course if i done something wrong, ESPECIALLY engine then let me know!

I hope i keep getting time or will to work on this, like i did before!

Bye!

Two Fourty again and a new project!

2008-10-31T21:23:00.009+02:00

Oi tharr!

Finally a update! Been really busy since school takes a lot of time and other shit. Anyho, whenever i had time i tried to do some modding.

Well i have stopped the 2 fourty project for a while, since im working on the other ride. I have only replaced the regular low poly body with one from NFS PS. There's still some bugs which i will fix later.
That's not really all. Im planning to stick an Skyline R32 front to it and make an RB26DE or RB20DET engine for it. Not very sure if they use the RB26DETT on that conversion. But i'll see!

Some screens if you miss this car.

And now the new project.
Once i got pretty satisfied with my 240, i wanted to start something else. For first i wanted to mod some 4 door car, later an EK9 civic. Then i saw that there's a EF9 converted, i decided to mod this one instead.

So there's the new project: Honda Civic (EF9)

So far i have worked on the engine and a bit on the interior.
I plan to make this car for racing so it must have some performance. It's going to be a turbocharged B16A engine. So far the base of the engine, turbo, intercooler and exhaust are done. Also the engine bay is created and rims are installed.
Shit to do in near future: Fix any bugs i have so far, texture the interior panels and floor, add some bucket seats and a rollcage and create more details to the engine.

Here are some pics also:

MOTOR!

Big thanks to tom2 who converted the original EF9 from Racer and credits to the original author whoever he is.

More to come!

Any mistakes or flaws in the engine? Let me know!

Suggestions and tips are welcome.

Bai!

Two Fourty gets new parts and goes HDR

2008-09-20T13:00:00.008+03:00

Sieg Heil ! \o
More updates on my Two Fourty. First i like to point out that i believe engine is basically done. I made an blow off valve and recreated the air filter. Engine has entirely over 15 000 polies. Too much or too less, you decide. Also i got tired of those old rims, so i added some old school 4 spoke rims. From interior part i just made an Air/Fuel ratio gauge.
Shit to do list:
-Still, i need new doors.
-Some good taillights.
-New textures and some changes to interior.
-Fix some crap.
Also i might get new ideas in middle of the progress. But anyway, here are some screen shots including HDR.

Temporary taillights!

Big thanks to Bl3w for tips and Drifty for help and support.

Also, thanks to people who commented!

Cya!

240SX update!

2008-09-14T11:52:00.007+03:00

O hi tharr! Little update on my Two Fourty! I have remade the below part of the engine and small changes on engine bay. I only worked on the engine, but i will work on the body and interior soon. Anyway, here are some pictures.
Comments and suggestions are always welcome!

Entire engine in zmod.

In-game

An interesting post involving a car.

2008-09-05T21:25:00.013+03:00

Hi tharr! I haven't been posting anything here for like month already. Summer is now basically over and im busy as hell. School takes most of my time. Don't play much games anymore neither.
Speaking of summer, i came to a conclusion after playing SA-MP. Not only 95% of the people can't mod, they can't fucking drive either. Seriously! I have more fun with AI players. That's one of the reason why i wont be bothering playing SA-MP ever again.
But enough of this, let's switch topics.
Most of the modders steal everything. One set of gauges and rims are like on 100 cars. Most of you know i haven't done nothing really big on my cars. Not anymore!
I have started a 240SX project. It is still in progress but i thought it would be nice to publish some screenshots. Nearly 70% of the new parts i added are made from scratch. It's kinda special and different stuff because for first time, i attempted to modify an engine. I believe i succeed. This is based on Picolini's 240SX.
Here's list of things changed:
*Exterior*
I left stock bumpers on this car, because what kind of a moron adds a bodykit on 240sx? Its rolling on old school SSR MkIII rims from GTapex. I removed tags, emblems and some other useless stuff just to make this car more clean. This car has custom tail- and signallights. I tried to make it look stock so it's defenetly not the flashiest car on the street.
*Interior*
For first i like to point out that i replaced the entire dashboard with an S14's. Inside it has Recaro Racing Seats, Sparco Naxos steering wheel, Momo gear shifter, And cage behind the seats, Sparco pedals, Tachometer and a Turbo boost gauge. Everything but the dashboard is made from scratch by me. On tachometer and boost gauge, every unit and detail is created just for the vehicle lights can work on it. Basic racing equipment.
*Engine and Performance*
This car has a turbocharged SR20DET. For start i changed the textures of all pipes and stuff, made them chromed. Then i made a HKS intercooler, turbo by Turbonetics with a intake, new downpipe, Cusco Titanium Strut Bar, new valve cover and HKS Carbon Ti exhaust. I nicked a battery with some other small stuff. For handling parts, i made new springs and shocks, and i nicked some axles. I tried to make this car just for racing around or just for everyday drive.

Basically this is it. Not much, but took me a while to make these.

Some screenshots.

Like i said this thing ain't done. I still got a lot of shit to do on this. For example, i must recreate new parts for the engine, recreate the nicked parts, make new doors.

Any comments about this are welcome. Also if i named something wrong or you spot some flaw in engine or anything, let me know.

Believe me, making stuff from scratch is much better and exciting then just steal.

Bye!

Watch out riceboys!

2008-08-14T01:43:00.006+03:00

Hai! You all probably know how much rice there is being 'produced' into GTA San Andreas. Hell, do they ever use their produced ricers?

"Yo! check mah new honda crx illegal drift spec bich, changet is exh, nos, 18 ft high spoiler, bodykit. cya!^^ I is go produce new rice!" - shit like that

It's been an idea for long time, but now there's been taken actions. A new Anti-Rice club has been created! It's called [rKc] which stands for rice Killer club.
After several insults on rice producers and their so-called 'creations' i hope there will be less of this bullshit ,or even better, the end of it.

Note the new 'ricer list'. The title speaks for itself.

Ah, btw! Hope to get back into modding again! Reformatted my PC, now i just have to get my tools and stuff from a dvd whenever i can be arsed looking for it! :D

Goodbye!

Nissan Skyline (R32) GTS-t Type-M

2008-07-30T14:33:00.005+03:00

The godfather of japanese cars! In my opinion, the best japanese car ever created. Since every R32 in gta sucks, i decided to convert an detailed R32 for myself :).

Big thanks to tom2 once again!

Toyota Corolla Levin Coupe 2-door (AE86) !BETA!

2008-06-14T12:38:00.007+03:00

Hello! Actually this project was done many days ago, now i decided to post it. The window part was solved by moving polygons actually but i had to create the entire rear end from scratch. Car is still at beta stage, because it needs more stuff done. I need to recreate the taillights, and a part of roof. After the car has made it to final stage, i may even consider releasing it, since a lot of people seem to like it. REMEMBER that's not a yes, i might as well decide not to release it.
Credits to K_Maccer for pointing any mistakes which helped to make the car a success and for the idea in first place.

Anyways, here are some screenshots. No fancy HDR bullshit this time! :D

Cya! ^__^
