Onevia1380

Hey wats good everybody? Names John Tran. Im currently living in Japan ryte now for the next two years. I been here for about 7 months already. The first car that i bought here was a stock R32 Skyline GTS-4 (4wd single turbo) for $1800. It was sweet and all but it wasnt doin it for me, prolly because it was an auto and everybody and thier grandma has one here. Your skyline isnt worth **** unless its a GTR, period. Alotta people fail to see that and think all skylines are GTRs.



No more than a month later i found a car that i had to buy especially for the price. It was originally a 1993 K-club series S13 (Sr20det) but the previous owner converted the front end to a 180sx. A Onevia.



It Came with 129000 km on the car.
- Momo Steering wheel
- Bride racing seat
- Apexi Boost Gauge
- Nismo Gauge cluster (260km/ph) of course i can never actually get it that high
- Nismo suspension
- Nismo exhaust

I bought this for $2500, pretty Phucking cheap. Now i altered it a lil bit. So this is what it is now.







So far I spent prolly over a grand in this car. Maybe i shoulda bought an older Evo haha. but i love this beast! So far i put:

- 17 in. Buddy Club P1 racing rims w tires
- HKS Intake
- Blitz blow-off valve
- JIC Coilover suspension
- J-pipe/straight pipe
- Momo & Nismo shift **** (To match either my Gauge cluster or Steering wheel haha)

Parts on Stand-by
- Tomei Downpipe
- Exhaust manifold
- Vented Eye lid cover

Parts planned for this Beast!
- Boost controller
- Front mount intercooler
- Oil temp/pressure and water temp gauges
- Intake Manifold
- Subs and amp
- Possibly upgrade to a T28 turbo
- and thats about all i can think of for now

I pray to the god that i can bring this home with me lol

Dang. Thats a clean ride. I cant believe the prices of those cars, japan is like the promised land.

On a side note, the Type X aero is pretty much the hottest there is.

For some of those that are wondering. Yes i am military. Im currently stationed at Yokota AB. Close enough to Tokyo to go WANGAN style! Also close enough to the mountains to go INITIAL D style. I have not been on zeroyon but i will check it out. I am actually interested in finding out how i can bring this back with me to the states, if anybody can help me with that, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
