I have a distaste for making threads, but here we go again.

The project was conceptualised during development on the SLI GTR "Matador".
Early drafts on the design started in January, however, I haven't picked it up again until recently.

Concept:
- GTR Class Car
- Inspiration from the S14 Zenki and the R33 LM
- The car will align with GTR regulations.
- Will attempt to keep tri count low while not looking like poop
- Will try to fit the LFS style
- RWD, NA 2.8L i6 (derived from the R33 LM)
- Sequential gearbox without the ignition cut (out of pure spite)

Below is the January draft design.

Day 1 of modelling like an unemployed person. (Retroactively Updated)

Premise:
I wanted to lean more into the S14 body shape rather than the R33 LM, prompting a ground-up restart on modelling. Managed to get a simple version of the body done in a day.

I used 3D scans along with schematics to form the shape.

Day 2 Progress (Retroactively Updated)

Premise:
Continued modelling like a lunatic with nothing better to do (procrastinating on other things).
I'm almost finished with the base S14, which I will use as the foundation for the KSR.

Day 3 was yesteday (Retroactively Updated)

Premise:
Finished up on the S14 Zenki body. Moved on to working on the LM style kit.
My sleep is getting worse...

Day 4 so far

Premise:
I'm almost finished with the body; all that remains now are minor tweaks to it.
Will probably... eventually... move onto the interior.

KSR is finally looking the way I envisioned: an elegant Rubik's cube of a car.

Day 5

Premise:
I despise this part of the job, yet here we are. I (as usual) have taken an unorthodox approach to modelling the interior. Don't worry, the driver's side of the dash with the gauge cluster is in the works.
Don't expect a high quality interior, however, the interior will should be better than that of the FXO GTR.

My next concern is that I have no idea how to set up custom gauges.

Day 5

Here's a photo of it as of now.

Quote from Metalmoltres121 :

Day 5...

Day 6+

Premise:
Uploading exterior shell to LFS Editor.
Installed frame, engine, suspension, aero, lights, LOD2 & LOD3.
Still a lot of work to be done before release.

A big thank you to instasam for providing the headlight and taillight textures.
The car would not look nearly as good without the support.

looking good, are you planning a config without the licence plates?

looks good!

Just like with the SLI GTR, I've set up a config without the front plate.

Day 7?

Premise:
It's been a few days, but we'll just call it day 7...
Side exhaust texture has been added
New rims installed on the car, took a lot of tinkering to get them the way they currently are. The wheels have a prebaked shine coating to them, which I made using viewport shading and a light source, then taking a snapshot of the rim to use as a texture. Rims were modelled based on Nismo LM-GT1 rims, which I have comically rebranded as Nikmo (MRT reference).

The texture files were produced through a combination of blender and gimp since I'm much better than 3d modelling that using photoshopesque apps. The NIKMO _ALP file was attached using alphatest -> matt, which allows the logo to be transparent while on a spoke.

Postponing interior for a bit due to skill issue.
