umm...i used it so long ago, havent used it since...but like i said, i dont know how to use it properly, so i basically found the MCG in the city, or any other big landmark you know of...then i basically scrolled my way across the maps until i found the freeway out of the city towards geelong...took my hoppers crossing exit and basically scrolled to my house...not the easiest or quickest ways to find stuff i'm sure, but it worked. lol

is the images upgraded all the time or are they the same permanently?

They started taking them in 2001 and finished the earth in early 2003

Now they are using heaps of different satalites to take pictures which is why you see down the bottom of the screen the rights change eg "Google Earth 2006"

Well regardless of how cool all that is i found my banana parked out front of a friends house :wub:

It is a little hard to see but it's there!!!

Matt, Sorry to piss on your parade, but you do realise that these maps are 2 - 3 yrs old (for obvious reasons - ie nasty people who like to plot mayhem).

If you don't believe me, think of some big construction project or new housing estate that's less than 2 yrs old and see if it's there.

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
