Hey guys,

I should have joined here sooner so I could bug you to post Reference images :D

I've been working on this for a while, infact I started it in 2006 but put it on hold when things got too busy.

I recently picked it up again and gave it an overhaul to make it fit for GTAIV - It was for GTA:San Andreas initialy so it had much less detail.

Currently there are many issues to resolve (it never ends with GTA modding)

The issue that bothers me most is the wiper pattern when the windsheild acumulates dirt overtime, but thats pretty easy to fix.

I have many plans for this car including to eventually release it. It still needs an engine bay, underside and other detailings.

I would gladly accept any offers for detail photos from members to help me finish this.

Anyway, heres some screenshots and a Fraps video on youtube if your interested.

That's done good work!

Since most of the detail had been completed, hopefully it's an easy conversion into GTA 5.

How's the damage effect on custom cars? Does it use a generic method or do you need to play around with that as well?

Thanks Eli,

Yeah from what I've seen GTAV looks to be just an expansion on their current technology, which is pretty common and follows the trend of GTA3 with vice and San andreas. Usually there are a few minor improvements here and there.

Infact you will find files from GTA3 in the GTA4 archives, even lots of files that aren't even used. One that was left in, but looked like it was modified for testing with GTAIV was the Carmods.dat file which had all the universal car mod parts that was used in GTA:SA. Im suspecting that they had bigger plans for GTAIV but decided to release what they had and wait for GTAIV for extra features.

As far as damage system goes, its much more advanced than the previous GTA's which used to swap pannels out with a damaged one when a collision too place. In GTAIV, the speed, angle and location all factor into collisions so they are somewhat dynamic. Some vehicles are more rigid, and some are crumple like tinfoil. The setup is quite advanced and requires a lot of work to get right. Most GTAIV car mods cut corners and dont have things like, dirt, breakable lights, working indicators etc. I think it makes a big differnce in terms of getting it to blend with the game instead of standing out from all other cars.

Ive experimented with increasing damage multipliers, and its pretty halarious when you turn it right up. If you hit a curb half you car would cave in and the front wheel gets jammed somewhere in the engine bay.

Anyway, can't wait for GTAV for PC, who knows when they will release that. Once they've made their money from console sales they tend to release it around a year later.

I have the C210s rival, the Toyota Mark II '78 in the works too :)

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
