great silvia, i like the last one a lot, but wut the hell is a ONEVIA?
basicly its a S13 SILVIA with a 180SX front end, the S13 SILVIA in japan and in GT4 doesnt have pop-up headlights, the U.S version is called a 240SX COUPE but in GT4 there is only a 240SX HATCHBACK. so i took the front of the 240SX HATCHBACK and put it on the S13 SILVIA
here is the history of the SILVIA conversions:
"SIL-EIGHTY"
The "Sil-eighty" or "SIL80" which was a common conversion of the Nissan 180SX in Japan. The SIL80 is a Nissan 180SX with the Nissan Silvia S13 front, but with the rear end styling from the PS13 180SX. This is what one correspondent had to say:
"...in Japan people kept smashing the front ends of their 180SXs when they were drifting... into mountains or whatever. simply put, the S13 Silvia front end was cheaper than a 180SX front so they put the Silvia fronts on as a temporary fix. This caused a craze in Japan and it was basically the look in Japan for young people. Nissan had been observing that many of their 180's have been going around with Silvia fronts, and (for an unknown reason) they built a hybrid and released it in 1994. this hybrid was known as the "SIL-EIGHTY", which is exterior-wise just a PS13 with an S13 front end. changes went further though, with changes to camshafts and the ECU, which gave roughly 16~18Kw more (not sure about how much more torque) than both the Silvia and 180SX. also, the suspension was tweaked for drifting purposes. Genuine Sil-eighty's are snap-tail happy, given too much power thru a corner will result in a drift, maybe a spin if you try too hard... Nissan only made about 400 genuine and documented examples, just about all were snapped up upon their release. Now at auctions they apparently go for as much as immaculate R32 skyline GT-Rs"
"ONE-VIA"
Extending this idea to the next stage, why not take a 180SX nose, and put it onto an S13 Silvia? Apparently it's not that hard to do (if you have both). The result is sometimes called a "One-via". Note that there is no factory-built car bearing this designation.
"STRAWBERRY FACE SILVIA"
And of course the newest oddity is the SIL1580 (180SX with an S15 nose). This is not a factory product, but kits are available from a number of Japanese styling houses. Incidentally, The word "strawberry" come from the fact that one - five is pronounced "Ichi - Go" in japanese which also means strawberry in japanese and "face" is the front of the car..
"S13 CONVERTIBLE"
There was a limited edition S13 convertible, build around 1992 to 1994 (Convertible was the only body style available in 1994). A few hundred cars were built by the factory to use up the last of the S13 coupe shells. All of the original cars were painted "Royal Blue", and had the fixed headlights of the Silvia, rather than the 180SX/240SX (PS13) pop-ups. There have been several conversions. In the US, there was an S13 240SX convertible. It is distinguishable by the pop-up lights, being left-hand drive and having a 240SX badge.

Your really getting the hang of the photoshop.
If this car was available in real life I can easily visualize you driving it!!
