WIP Beta released Ibishu Mirena (2000-2010) 1.3

I agree.
But how did Infiniti go downhill after 2013?

 

looked in the files, and with my limited modding knowledge, i'm pretty sure you're using the etk screen from the etk's files

Code:

["beamNavigator", {"screenMaterialName": "@etkc_screen", "htmlFilePath": "local://local/vehicles/common/ETK_navi_screen.html", "name":"etkc_navi"}],

so instead, you should add a custom screen folder with the custom materials or whatever, and in the html file, change bootscreen file to your file

Code:

 <style>
    #bootscreen {
      background-image: url('whatever_bootscreen.png');
    }
  </style>

Code:

["beamNavigator", {"screenMaterialName": "@mirena_screen", "htmlFilePath": "local://local/vehicles/mirena/display/mirena_navi_screen.html", "name":"mirena_navi"}],

(that's what i could make out of it, idk if it is the exact fix or if i'm even accurate, but it looks fine)
(also the ccf has something like it, you could use for reference)

 

they put a CVT in the QX60, made all their cars look the same, and had few V8 options and mostly I4 options. They're not bad, just not to my personal taste. It feels like they went from the quirky sporty brand to a normal, boring rental car brand.

 

yeah, there's almost no difference between the q50 and q70's looks
plus, i'm pretty sure in the q50, they're using the interior from the 2015-2016 model because it is the exact same (with a few material changes)

 

Hello! I love the Mirena, but I want to report a bug. Between the Mirena logo and the GPS, the ETK logo shows. Is this a bug??

 

Yeah. Some of them look too similar to each other. Still, they aren't exactly bad cars.

Anyway, I tried this mod and it's not bad at all. The engines are nice and it's great to drive. I'm just a little disappointed that there's no base parts for it (there's no base rear bumper, for example). Also, some of the wheels look a little too modern for a car that started production in 2000, which made me think, "these wheels are better suited for a 2006-2010 facelift".

 

When I put it into the repo page, I put it as in the "Land" in "Vehicles" category and then it somehow got changed into "Mods of Mods" category.

@Car_Killer Please change the repo page into "Land" category. I justify this as "Land" because first, the Ibishu Mirena has its OWN vehicle slot. Second, it has its own pool of engines (3.5L V6, 5.0 V8, 5.0 V10) which are COMPLETELY different than a normal Pessima (be it vanilla or the EUDM version which I based the body upon) which the normal Pessima has only I4s or a smaller V6. Third is that the Ibishu Mirena has its own interior design and gauges (interior skins, gauges, interior climate control models and internal navigation system which the Pessima could only dream to have). Fourth would be having a COMPLETELY different drivetrain layout as it is longitudinally RWD/AWD layout unlike the Pessima being tranverse FWD only.

In real life for example both the Nissan Maxima and Nissan Altima are practically identical in exterior and having the SAME drivetrain layout (traverse FWD) yet Nissan decided to market them as SEPARATE MODELS (mind you in the L31-L34 generation the top-trim Altima has a 3.5L V6 same as the concurring generations of Maxima). The Mirena having high performance longitudinal V6s, V8s and V10s with RWD and AWD layout should be classified something DIFFERENT than Pessima having a moderate commuter I4 engine with traverse FWD layout. Therefore this mod should NOT be classified as "Mods of Mods" but rather "Land" category.

 

This car has wider tires than nearly all my configs lmao. The rear tires in specific just look out of place. It looks better with the 2R tires, Beam really needs to update all of their models - they look so out of date.
Anyways, really good job. It's well done and handles well, I like it a lot.

 

Some future plans on this mod if you didn't see some additions to the repo page, since @gucci bucket cat gave a rather conservative review on the exterior, I had announced some current plans for future update:

- Getting the headlights more up to light (meaning there would dual round headlights on each side and whiten them as Xenon headlights, referencing from the dual round headlights on each side of the Infiniti G37)
- Doorhandles would be different as well with them being more tucked in, similar to the Nissan GT-R R35.

 

Been experiencing a major issue with the 3.5 Twin Turbo VMax config. Whenever you spawn/respawn the car and accelerate (Mainly under hard acceleration, but occasionally on light acceleration, too.), the car will immediately have left side and left front damage, sometimes causing the car to immediately veer to the left uncontrollably.

After looking closely, it appears something in the left front suspension breaks, leaving it dragging on the ground underneath the car.

I spawned a GranTurismo Z AWD to see if the issue was there, as well, and it didn't break under hard acceleration, so something tells me that there's a specific issue with the VMax config that needs looking into.

 

Aerodynamic new door handles to further distinguish from the original EUDM Pessima



Also decided to whiten the headlight texture as well to make it more Xenon-like instead of Halogen.

 

New aerodynamic handles (similar to the Nissan GT-R R35's handles but with body color instead), also dual round headlights on each side (borrowed from EUDM Pessima's Custom Headlights)

 

As a response to this review of the mod, I want to tell you guys the Infiniti G is not comparable to the Maxima; It is a rebadged Skyline from Japan, which is apparently slotted under the Teana (Japanese equivalent to the USDM Maxima in terms of size) in the JDM lineup from what I know.
Order of sedans from bottom to top (late 2000s):

• Latio (Versa sedan in the USDM; Almera in most international markets)
• Sylphy (Sentra in the USDM)
• Skyline (Infiniti G35 until 2008; Infiniti G37 until 2014; Infiniti Q40 only in 2015)
• Teana (Samsung Sm5/Sm7 in Korea and Chile; Maxima in Australia and New Zealand; Cefiro in most international markets)
• Fuga (Infiniti M35 for SWB until 2010, Infiniti M45 for LWB until 2010; Infiniti M until 2013; Infiniti Q70 for SWB until 2019
• Cima (Infiniti M LWB until 2013, Infiniti Q70l for LWB until 2019)
• President (Until 2010)

 

The drivetrain is supposed to be based on the Infiniti G/M-Series, the Ibishu Miramar is supposed to be based on the Nissan Skyline GT-Rs while the Ibishu Mirena is a mix with the Nissan Maxima and the Infiniti G/Nissan Skyline V35.

The newer upcoming version will use dual round headlights on each side just like the Infiniti G37, and the doorhandles will be similar to the ones found in the Nissan GT-R R35 except they will be body-colored.

 

Ooooh very nice.
Can't wait.

Also some pic dump, featuring sleek handles, 10-speaker audio system, revised steering wheel (WIP)



Note that in the future with @Hell_Raiser_999 's new sounds there will be a repo version and another version on the discussion thread of the forum with the new sounds instead to avoid potential copyright issues.
--- Post updated ---

5 Speed is too slow which I made it 7-speed instead, also I noticed that with your files they do not seem to go well with the ETK-based parts that the Mirena was using (your files were Bastion-based).

My apologies for the late reply.

 

Any chance you could add derby variants?

 

Might add a config for that as a stripped down version.

 

Sounds awesome also I got unbanned today

 

Mechanically this mod is all set except the oilpan issue which persisted even in the initial release, @Agent_Y there are two nodes in the oil pan section being "oilpan" and "oilref". How should I adjust the Z-axis position to minimize the "Oil StarvationZ" without compromising the "Oil Starvation XY"?

Did manage to lower the "Z" by moving up the "oilref" node higher and lower a bit on the "oilpan" node,
however the "Oil Starvation XY" is messed now.



Update: Removed the "oilref" node and its related lines, got the Oil Starvation values back to normal 9-10 m/s^2, now one step closer to update.
