WIP Beta released 1997 Ibishu Pescoupé (2nd gen) 1.0

Hello, since i have some major progress already done on this mod, i thought ill share it here sicne im banned on the discord (sadge). This mod is based on MK2 Pessima (obviously), it is continuation of the Pescoupé nameplate which began with the 1st gen pessima (mod here: https://www.beamng.com/resources/1989-ibishu-pescoupe.15323/ ). This mod wont be just 3-door pessima and thats it, ill try to make some custom lights too and of course itll also include RHD variant, which will be quite a challenge but not that big. If you're worried about approval from Stiv (author of original pescoupe), i have it, he approved it back in May 2023 when i started this mod originally, that attempt was awful and i gave up, but i restarted on the 22nd December and already made the basics. This is all info i can provide as of now, mod is in its current stge tested by my team of beta testers on my discord ( https://discord.gg/f4GyxnZwfF ). All current issues i know as of writing this is that the right colored trim doesnt work and im still trying to figure out why since console doesnt give any errors.

Cool!
I’m wondering what you could do for the custom headlights. Maybe something less tall and more long? So kinda stretched but also slightly changed so it doesn’t look bad with both the roundness and the stretching.

 

im taking a lot of inspiration from the original Pescoupé because as we all know, all 3 skyline GT-Rs were basically identical in the design language, and i wanna do the same

 

Looks good, but I think it could be two or three inches shorter to look more like a successor to the og Pescoupe. Right now it looks more like someone welded the doors shut

 

I agree with the above reply. i want to add that you could make the doors extend further back. for example, the 200bx doors are probably 1.5x the size of your 97 pescoupe. Maybe the roofline could be made more "aggressive"? Overall, i like the way this mod is going, even without the changes everyone's suggested. when this comes out i will absolutely street race the gtz version.

 

Rear quarter windows could be smaller and also the front row windows could be larger too. Anyways very good start!

Side question will it retain the same engine choices with the vanilla Pessima? Or will it have its own pool of engines?

 

it will retain the same engines, i do not plan on removing any, but i may add a engine swap from something, idk yet

 

RHD Done ️️️
next up: custom lights (thats gonna take a while)

 

That looks great!

 

im planning to add a RWD and AWD, i want to use Sunburst as a base and incorporate it into the lore like a collab because ibishu wanted to rally or something, should i also add the sunburst engine or just the suspensions and diff?

 

Just the suspension and diff will suffice. Notice that you will have to edit the fueltank as well since I am working on a Pessima-based car but it is longitudinal instead.

 

i understand, i will be transfering the fueltank flexbody too sicne its easier than editing the existing one

 

Looks incredible! Glad to see this idea finally coming to light, can't wait to see what you do with it man!

 

Almost forgot the exhaust too, you will need to watch out for that as you are trying to fit the driveshaft between the exhaust and the heatshield.

 

Hey, ur still welcome on the server if you wanna come back, i post more progress there

reshaping that one rn

 

For the love of god, don't use the Sunburst's suspension. It is WAY less detailed and its handling is one of the worst from FWD cars. If you want to take the model from another car, use the Vivace's. Other option would be model the rear diff inside the vanilla rear subframe, since the Pessima's suspension is REALLY good, not only texture wise, but also geometry wise.

everything works perfectly, currently just need to lower the rear springs so the rear wouldnt be so high and im done and can finally move onto the lights, which is the last and hardest part

 

is this going to get any new parts like those from the 2005 nissan skyline?

 

done, the rally config has been made, so im finally heading to sleep at 5:30 in the morning

2005 Skyline? also what parts do you mean?

 

I think they might be referring to the "Skyline" that was sold in the U.S. as the Infinity G35.
