N.S80

I work as a professional industrial designer and 3D modeller more than 10 years. For me, the ideal of a beautiful car is Nissan Sil80, I made a model for render a long time ago.



Blueprints and references



But with the news about the mod system, I Change mesh for as I thought at that time, for a more authoritative look, cuz I was not sure if it was possible to create identical-looking to real cars. And optimize the mesh it to fit the limits of the LFS Editor







Try to how its look in LFS Editor. Not bad, But I want more staff.




Optimize mesh a bit more, and add more staff like springs and spoilers..



Different spoilers for different configurations. Stock, rocketbunny, and just big bench






and now it looks something like this

Huh, mighty impressive!

Beautiful work Aleksandr, subscribed to the thread .

Good work!

cant w8
Wish someone could make an E46 m3, or HGK Kitcar

Impressive

Very nice. I see that JZX100 went through as it is so i think this would go through even with the original s13 frontend as a "variation".

Thank you for your positive feedback.
Final view. A bit of testing, finishing touches, and a submission soon.
4 configurations: stock spoiler \ RB spoiler \ bench \ bench + splitter and diffuser. They are all customizable in the garage.
4 color sliders: base \ roof \ hood \ moldings and plastic.




More in attachment.

Looking forward to try this out. Very clean work, great work Aleksandr!

Wow! Many car configurations and color customizations too. This is gonna be the most detailed car on LFS. Great work!

"4 configurations: stock spoiler \ RB spoiler \ bench \ bench + splitter and diffuser. They are all customizable in the garage."

wow !!!

Good job mate!

Great mod. Would like to use it on servers.

Looking good! Hope you make custom rims in the upcoming updates.

Submitted, waiting

hot stuff

Must be the highest detailed model ever seen in LFS.
Congratulations, thank you, and very much looking forward to driving it.

I stand corrected.

It's a nice mod, but that's a bit disingenuous to all the VOB modders througout the years.

These VOB mods are ripped from other AAA games, not created from scratch. what you say is a bit disingenuous to Aleksandr who create this mod from the very beginning all by himself.

Man idk what you talking about, if you talking to mod makers, it’s their business that they don’t export their old mods in the LFS. I have nothing to do with it.

If you are talking about me, but I also do not understand what it is about, since this is my mesh, I made it myself, I threw the screen my wireframe above, you might have noticed that it is in squares. I personally do not know a way to export a mod so that it would be in squares in blender. You can only export a triangulated Mesh. And it cannot be properly edited. Easier to create your own...

Let's imagine that I was able to export the mesh in squares in some way. (which is probably impossible)
Show me a mod where my wireframe matches some other mod, of course, it may be similar due to the fact that the mods were probably made from photos and blueprints of real exteriors and interiors of s13 and 180sx as i do. But there cant be the same wireframe.

Touché, I stand corrected.

It's nice to see so much effort put into mods like this, and the result is very high quality.

However I came across a few small issues in testing. When creating a new setup the maximum lock is changed to 45° for some reason, instead of the 50° available on the default setup. Also, it appears that despite saying "car's wheel turns 720° lock to lock" on the setup page, in reality it turns slightly less than that(I think these two issues are related). On this topic I'd like to suggest raising the max wheel rotation to something like 1080°(or 900°) to be the same as other cars of this style in LFS, as switching to a car with 720° when you're used to seeing something like 1080° can throw you off a bit.

Yeah, you're right. It's some kind of bug, ill fix it in the Editor, I just put 800° and it switches to 720° in LFS...
I thought that it is easier for people with wheel controllers to go on 720°, that value is the majority of wheels I think.
Idk, maybe I made an update to 1080°.

It's not a bug, you just forgot to click one option in the editor:


if you put this option to YES, the limit will be what you put in the default setup.

Otherwise, this "bug" happens and every new setup will be max. 45 degrees with steering wheel angle calculated as if it was adjusted from 50 to 45.

And also i recommend to use 900° instead of 720°, 900° is much more common.


As for the mod itself everything looks great, but there are small visual artifacts specifically on the A-pillar. Maybe it feels slightly too easy to slide around?

Thx for the info.

A huge update is coming to sileighty.
Rebild the stock body: add stock OEM bumper, spoiler changed to more stock OEM looking, rear bumper changed a bit too.
Separate RB spoiler and bodykit + splitters in one configuration, and add 2 more new body kits BN Sports and Origin Labo.

Eventually 4 configurations: Stock OEM, RB, BN Sports, and Origin Labo.

And change tires, engine sound, rims, suspension, etc.

can't wait to see, gratz on this work, awesome!

Amazing, your mod is my favorite so far. Keep the good work!

Update posted!
Changed stock look. Do you know where it is from that blue look? hint in attachments
Try this and let me know how you like it.



Added 3 new configurations: BN Sport Kit



Rocket bunny Kit



Origin Labo Kit





And changed: steering lock to 1080, engine power and sound, suspension, lights, more wide wheels, and add more default setups with new configurations, and more default colors.

Any support for left wheel users? Can't drive with wheel in a glove box.

I haven't figured out how to do it yet, but I'll try

Fantastic modelling, good job.

- it only shows 40° steering angle in setup
- I think 600hp is too much for LFS, around 350hp is fun I think

Published update to 55°, different suspension for more comfortable drifting, rear wheels to 265 wide, front to 245.
Engine power can be adjusted on the info tab.

Yeah, open diff on a 600hp car is weird. I made a quick drift setup which handles much better if you want, also intake restricted to around 380hp

Appreciate for a great mod.

I thought [Stock Cruise] and [RB Kit Race] were a bit extreme,
therefore I've made some S13ish settings and I'll leave them here.

Thank you all for the feedback, I will do an update based on yours setups and make power around of 400hp. I just wanted the car to be competitive with other S-series cars uploaded in LFS. And add other small fixes such as button textures and some materials.

I just have an idea for other mod (Nissan 400z) and I will be streaming live that weekend whole process of creation of that mod, from finding references and 3d modeling in blender to uploading on site.


if you are interested here is my channel where I will stream here - https://www.youtube.com/c/AlexeyDesign
I will start streaming on Saturday afternoon.
Project thread - https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/96117

Personally, I also like drifting monsters with 600 hp, so I understand your decision too.
However, in that case, it might not be a bad idea idea to offer a choice of slick tires and downforce for Racing setup.

Especially with the downforce, current version generates lot of lift.
It's Realistic as old tuning car, but most people will confused.

can't wait to see update and new project. Many thanks.

Update published
Added fuel cap, fixed RB front bumper, engine changed to 426hp, changed default setups.

Quote from Aleksandr_124rus :

I haven't figured out how to do it yet, but I'll try

in tri mode press "l.r.swap", select triangles and then in upper right corner choose if it may be "static" or "swap"

Top job on the modelling, looking forward to any future cars you create

I'm trying to make better suspension setting, but there are a few things I want to confirm.
I'm wondering if the downforce, weight and weight distribution settings are what you had in mind.

The downforce, (as I mentioned earlier, )creates a force that lifts and the car makes unstable at high speeds.

For weight and weight distribution, see
N.S80(Ver.8 ) 1230kg F:49.8 R:50.2
180SX 1210kg F:53.2 R46.8
S13 1120kg F:54.2 R:45.8
I'm not expert, but
I think about 1180kg F:52 R:48 is a more reasonable value.

If the current setting is by design, that's OK!
For reference, I have attached the setting currently testing, with 100 kg weight at the front to reduce the effect of lift and weight distribution.

Update posted.
Added: new rims, swap side.
Changed: aerodynamics, default setups.
A bit mesh fixes. A bit of materials change.

Update posted. Edited Rims a bit, changed the engine, changed weight balance, changed default setups.

Update posted:
Added Skin ID, and templates.
Added 2 Skins.
Edited Suspension.
Edited Engine sound.

Here is all templates for skin. The difference in bodykits.
N.S80 Stock
N.S80_Origin Labo
N.S80 BN Sports
N.S80 RB
N.S80 Skin All (all in overlay)

Physics have improved significantly! However, 7.2 caster angle makes the wheel pretty heavy compared to most. Brakes feel a bit weak (1300Nm is where I have been putting my setups) and the new engine sound is clipping quite a bit.

Dashboard has a few oddities like the second gear display that's cut off on the right (the main one in the centre could be moved to the left a bit too; feels cramped against the tach) as well as indicators on the top and left side.

It's getting more fun to drive, though, that's for sure.

I tried to take into account all your wishes. It was a hard and long job. I did the improved physics, did the templates and the skin, add to swap side, and much more. I made a mod for everyone, although some mod makers make mods for private.

⚠But now I will have a request for all of you.
In order for the mod to appear in the "approved" as soon as possible, go to the mod page and put all the ratings. Of course, I will be grateful to you if you consider it necessary to put 5 Star. It is ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT to rate for the animation, as apparently, they are not enough for the approval.
❗https://www.lfs.net/files/vehmods/284E1F?information❗
I think it will be convenient for you to find the mod in the LFS without clicking on any tabs if you like that mod.

The fact is that the approval depends on the algorithm, which is calculated from the amount and higher of the rating. And because this rating category was added last amount the rating for animation is very low.

I was wrong when I said that it depends on the automatic algorithm, but still having enough rating is quite important.

The setup with slicks on is easily flippable I think that is a thing preventing this mod from being approved.

I fix it.
Btw ill could do flip nonmoded XFR on slicks R2 when I have max stiffness and max ride height.

Update posted! Changes:
Mass, suspension, default setups, wheels from 19 to 18 inches, engine a bit.

So it can be approved now?

One side on the skin mapping is flipped, which makes it harder for skin creators. I noticed it on this skin. Can you fix that? I think you can do it by selecting "Flipped: yes" in the cutout settings.

Update posted:
Skin Template changed (fixed flip side)
Add two more color sliders for the Rim for more optionality
Add two more default skin
Removed spoiler on Stock OEM Kit. I don't sure that is better or not.

nice, change steering wheel to smt cool

Fixed clock texture for left interior
Changed steering wheel position
Fixed steering animation for 1080 degrees
Fixed right lights texture

- LOD2/LOD3 should have skin mappings too or at least same color as the main level of detail;
- LOD2 could be more detailed;
