i would love to give this 5 stars but the 2.8 diesel has been set up so poorly that it's almost unusable, it's severely lacking the torque a non turbo diesel delivers, and the turbocharger is set up like that of a petrol engine, delivering the power higher in the rev range than it should. the emissions are also too high compared to similar engines i have worked on from that era.
furthermore, the gearing on the 5 speed diesel is horrific, the jump from 1st to 2nd is so big that unless the car is on a downhill it's almost unusable, 2nd to 3rd are too close, with the default 3.27 rear end it becomes almost unusable in 5th gear as the revs are too low to consistently hold 70mph.
even with the highest stock rear end ratio it still feels like shifting from 1 to 3 instead of a nice 1-2 shift

Nice! Can you do a South american RHD Version with the same engines and a 1.8 98hp a 2.0 with 110hp and a 2.5 carburated with 85hp?

For now the mod is planned to be JDM/LHD only but you never know what's in there for the future.

I love this update!
P.S Would be cool to add:
-manual/auto transmission dashboards
-v6 variant
-automatic a/c unit-
Author's Response
Thank you, the dashboard thing is kinda complicated and I do not know how to do it yet. V6 variant might come in the future. And not sure what you mean by automatic AC unit.

Really great idea, looks awesome, the rear though is still very much grand marshall if you can put it to resemble a Nissan Cedric rear like the Japanese taxi's it'd be awesome!! loving the progress so far.

Yep, might work on that eventually!

It would be interesting for there to be an airbag steering wheel from the 200bx

Now that you mention it, that could probably look even better than current gen 2 Pessima one

Loved the mod! Could borrow some strengthening on the engine blocks though (go to maxtorque in the engine jbeam).

Thank you for suggestion, they are bit weak (some people reported blowing), so I will check that out

I like it, but there is one thing wrong with it:
1. The interior is still from the Grand Marshall, including the steering wheel and dashboard badges. An Ibishu-ish one would be better.-

This has been fixed now!

To be honest, in its current state I feel like it's really an RHD Grand Marshall that's been rebadged. The only other change I really noticed is there's orange on the edges of the taillights so it's like orange blinkers. As an RHD rebadge it isn't bad, but I feel like it could use more changes if you want it to be a separate vehicle - especially if you're aiming for it to be a lore friendly Toyota Crown. I still give 4 stars though because it's not bad, it just could use more changes in my opinion.
Edit: I see now you don't know how to make models and would like ideas. Perhaps you could borrow parts from vanilla cars, I saw that done on the Ibishu Dove which was meant to be like the JDM Gavril pickup. It used the front from the Gavril van.-
Author's Response
Thank you for your feedback. There are plans to change the interior and yes, I will probably go the route of using vanilla parts from other cars and adjusting them :)

radical badge engineered land yacht! in the future it would be neat to see some super small high revving 4 pots just for giggles, or even a 3 rotor like a Eunos Cosmo on the big-ol fullsize.
thanks for the awesome mod!-

Thanks, I'll take that in mind :)

Strange, I've seen an automation mod with the same name somewhere-

Not related to this one, I thought of name by thinking of Toyota Crown :)

Would've been better if the 4 speed transmission ratio adapted for lower engine size, a 5/6 Speed Automatic Transmission, or maybe a new final drive to make the performance more better. But overall this mod was such a good thing to have.

Author's Response
Thanks, yeah, I noticed weirdly slow acceleration and low top speed, will do something about it for next update
