    Tested the mod today and found some important issues. First of all, the rear suspension is too soft and has too much camber gain. Maybe the 200 bx suspension wasn't the best option (I know you use D-Troxx's IRS suspension, so it's not really your mistake), so I'd recommend either trying to tune it better, or using other car's IRS with a better overall geometry (the Tograc's Multilink or the I-Series trailing arms are good options, although the Tograc's is the best one, in my opinion, and it wouldn't be weird to imagine that the Diadem was one of the first cars with Multilink rear suspension).
    The other problem is the floor shifter moving in the opposite direction it should.

    Other than that, it looks week made and looks really good, and, in my opinion, looks even better than the Grand Marshal

    this also gave me an idea: recreate Car Trek with it (with the Stambecco, and that one Miovi) as imported cars that you can finally buy in the US

    Hmm, I imagine the Vladivostok police use that but they import the RHD Japanese one instead of the LHD Chinese market.

    IRL,that's because the one that imported by Russians was used cars.China didn't get into the used car export business until 2019.While the Japanese already took over the whole Russian used car import market.
    Moreover,nobody would really export the old Japanese cars here.Nostalgia emotion in Chineses' mind makes these cars rise in value.In Africa and central Asia(The main destination of exported Chinese used cars),people won't mind this because cars are more likely to be a tool for them.
    That's why Russian polices uses RHD ver Japanese luxury cars rather than LHD ver IRL

    If possible, the v12 uses a special transmission because it has too much slip for the torque converter and most of the wheel spin, so if you can, use the Gavril D-series transmission which has a gear ratio of 1 which is suitable for this v12 configuration

    It's a great mod, but I can't help but think the auto shifter looks extremely basic and unfinished. upload_2022-12-20_12-14-4.png

    Of course not. Even Toyota Century had LHD version, mostly for China, but one was imported to Germany

    One suggestion also. You know that until 2000s, all japanese cars were ECU limit to 180 km/h. This should be standard option in Diadem as well
