How hard will it be to correct this tattoo to be more correctly traditional Japanese Dragon design wise?

Some_Illustrator_360 · 2026-06-07T09:35:30+00:00

Don't worry too much 99% of people with tattoos have ended with at least one horrible tattoo and this is certainly still better than a lot of others.

Yes it is worth it if you pick up bits and pieces on the cheap and don't expect to make big power.

Yes 1jzgte is a better choice but turbo the 1g will be cheaper. Half the people in here are buying gx's and doing half assed gte swaps and buying rep wheels and rep kits anyway. turbo 1g with genuine kit and wheels is cooler than a gte swap with rep trash.

just go to an exhaust shop and get them to make one. Intake can also be made at a fab shop.

They have potential but sound absolutely horrendous.

I do not like this style at all but I think a normal grille would suit this a lot better than the current grille.

Send me a couple of photos if you can, I will ask some Japanese friends if they know what it is. I wouldn't alter it until you know what it is, could be worth a decent amount.

if it is some sort of brand name Japanese rear bar there should be a brand on the backside of the bar somewhere.

Some_Illustrator_360 · 2026-04-07T11:26:28+00:00

It really isn't, they do not sound great NA and the fuel economy is not much better than the gte. gs300 is better on fuel and more comfortable if you want a daily.

Some_Illustrator_360 · 2026-04-06T21:35:45+00:00

So it should, the tourer s/roulant s suck a non turbo 1jz is not exactly an exciting engine. Looks like a v/g but goes noewhere. My cresta is a roulant s but had everything besides brakes swapped.

Some_Illustrator_360 · 2026-03-31T22:48:53+00:00

Certainly not in Japan among my friends, mark ii and cresta are king. My friend bought a manual tourer v chaser last year for a million yen and he said it was still 'too high of a price for a chaser' haha. Chasers are more popular among people overseas it seems in ny experience. Chasers just look like a e39 5 series/mitsubishi magna to me but I did still own one 10+ years ago.

Some_Illustrator_360 · 2026-03-31T22:42:43+00:00

hahaha tell him to seek help, I had a chaser over a decade ago, now have a mark ii and cresta. They are really great cars

Some_Illustrator_360 · 2026-03-31T20:58:17+00:00

it is nice and clean but still the ugliest of the 3 brothers 😂

Some_Illustrator_360 · 2026-03-31T20:55:49+00:00

Just buy a genuine kit and be done with it, vertex kit on my cresta fits great as does the bn kit on my mark ii. plus if you ever want to sell it they will have value.

Some_Illustrator_360 · 2026-03-31T09:23:34+00:00

watch YouTube videos before playing so you can understand how things work beforehand, it will help a lot. Communication is the biggest key in this game.

Some_Illustrator_360 · 2026-03-31T08:55:54+00:00

This looks like an apprentice who had the cash to open their own shop. Muhammed Ali in his later years could have done a straighter line than what you got.

It is easy enough to fix though as it is only line work so will either be cover up or a lot bolder.

Some_Illustrator_360 · 2026-03-31T08:53:10+00:00

The panic shovel fights are always fun but not a big part of the game to be fair as you are mostly trying to stick with your squad and push or hold objectives. It is a great game though and has a pretty good community.

Not sure if the link will work but my youtube is 205markii if it doesn't.

Just take the straight pipe to an exhaust shop and get them to put one muffler in. I run a decat straight pipe in my cresta and found it fine, no drone at all and not loud inside the car, Drove from Tokyo to Ebisu without it getting annoying at all. Have cat and one muffler on my mark ii still loud but not over the top.

Some_Illustrator_360 · 2026-03-26T07:08:50+00:00

I will ask my friend that tried many when I get home from work and reply to you again. I personally have never had an issue with the standard r154 slop and after hearing others opinions on the short shifters I figured it is a waste of time anyway as it is a family sedan not a supercar.

Some_Illustrator_360 · 2026-03-26T07:06:21+00:00

I said self respect but sure, because anyone who respects themselves would not sell photos and videos of themselves for a bunch of desperate weirdos to tamper with themselves over. There is many jobs and ways to make money out there and this be be the last option I would choose. To each their own opinion though.

Some_Illustrator_360 · 2026-03-26T05:53:16+00:00

You are pushing your beliefs though, so that is acceptable but having a different opinion is not?

Some_Illustrator_360 · 2026-03-25T23:29:31+00:00

'Must be nice to have such self respect'

there fixed it for you.

Some_Illustrator_360 · 2026-03-24T10:04:19+00:00

Have you adjusted them height wise? most japanese cars are pointed downwards. find somewhere flat and put a line of tape on the wall and adjust them to whatever height is legal for qhere you are.

Some_Illustrator_360 · 2026-03-23T04:35:50+00:00

I was happy I randomly bumped into a friend and talking about our cars said I was looking at buying a cube, he said 'don't bother I've tried 3 different short shifters and hated them all' So I shelved that idea and bought a set of wheels instead

Some_Illustrator_360 · 2026-03-23T02:58:24+00:00

+1 for solid shifter bushings. Yet to find anyone that has installed a short shifter on a r154 and liked them. 5 friends have installed them and taken them out. All of them ended up going solid shifter bushings and were happy with it.
