Ever wondered where the photos of the cars on prestigemotorsport.com.au and some on j-spec.com.au are taken?

You know, the ones all with the same suspension bridge in the background...

Well I did, so I went looking on google earth. and I found it.

Car Pics (link to google earth placemark)

Have a look around, you can see all the landmarks that are in the background of pics like these ones

Have a bit of an explore of the port of Nagoya. See how many thousands of cars there are in the yards there!!

uni student? :starwars:

Who me?

Farkoff, I work for a living.

It wasn't that hard to find, just look for that very distinctive bridge at a major Japanese port. I got it third time lucky. Not f*kuoka, not Osaka, bingo for Nagoya.

Found the big bridge and then matched up the two barges across the channel from where most of the cars are photographed and then some of the other bridges, buildings and other details. Too easy.

Perhaps I should work for ASIO...

p.s. anyone else having problems getting onto prestigemotorsports website? I'm just getting error messages.

HAHAHA that's really funny, the thought police module of the forum won't let me type F-u-k-u-o-k-a. It thinks it's a rude word like Fu(k. ;)

settle down mate, it was just a joke, hence the -> :)

man...

as the guy said above, it was just a hint to "time on your hands" - hence, uni student...

:D

sorry, no offence taken dude.

Looking at some other pics on geoff's site, you can see that bridge in the background of a photo of a "Car Auction holding yard". bridge in background

I am guessing that this buyer (my money is on Mark Hocking) buys the cars, drives them a couple of k's down the road, "snap'snap" and then stashes them in a rented corner of lock-up yard to wait for one of us to buy them.

not that there's anything wrong with that...

hey not bad :)

Now.. what am I wearing? :D

Like I said, angle too high, can't see in window....

Amazing what you can do with just a person's name from the copyright tag on their website, www.whitepages.com.au and google earth isn't it?

scary technology..............

Hope this is all taken in fun, and if I got it right and you don't like the info being "out there" I will edit/delete any incriminating evidence.

      By Therry · Posted

      I'm in the market for 370GT.  I live in Canberra and not much available so I'm looking interstate.  Can anyone recommend an inspection service with expert knowledge of Skylines? Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide (Elizabeth area)

      High EGT mystery

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      A million years later, searching for something else I posted, I was reminded of this thread. I eventually bought a new gauge. Put it in using the same probe (which has been installed the whole time stopping the exhaust gas from coming out the hole) and.... normal service has been resumed. The old gauge was definitely broken. /semi-pointless closure.

      They're available from Nissan! I was able to buy a GTR (R33) one.. relatively* recently. Perhaps this stopped now but I bought mine ... relatively recently. I believe the 300ZX one has a different knee-point which is more rear biased, which I think the HFM one echos.

      370GT ( Type SP ) - Sedan - Cruise Control - Forced Induction - EcuTek

      By MrCodZilla · Posted

      Hey Team, A bit to unload here. Hello from New Zealand I have a 2009 Nissan Skyline 370GT ( Type SP ) Auto 7 Speed, that I've had since 2022 and have loved the car since. Its painted in its factory QAB ( White Pearl ) with the Impul front lip and rare boot lid/spoiler with woodgrain interior. Mods since I've bought it and installed: Stillen Gen 3 Long Tube Intakes Motordyne Shockwave Catback Exhaust JDM Skyline Taillights Fake carbon spoiler and front grill ( Will be taking off.... its cringe ) VR30DETT Transmission from the Q50/Q60 to hold up to 550 Foot pounds of Torque ( 753 nm ) reliable  Currently I plan to turbo the car and have all the parts needed ( Photo Included ), I have my tuning day set on August 8th and choosing EcuTek as my tuning platform. Two of my work colleagues has their 370Z ( Manuel ) and 370GT coupe ( Type SP - Manuel ) also turbo'd and they have inspired me to get it done I have prepped quite a wee bit for this, as I had done the VR30 transmission swap over to this car so that I can achieve my HP goals without torque being an issue. I've taken quite a cautions route, as im always thinking about the safety as well as performance with my build, I'd rather do it properly and not cut corners etc etc. Any who, I've recently picked up the AutoStrada cruise control kit with all the included cables/wires/instructions. I've been hella researching around and can't find much on the integration that it has with the ECU and/or system. the only reason why im asking is, because I'm getting EcuTek and one of them RaceRom features allows the ability to switch maps via the cruise control function, which I am currently in the grey area if this would add-on via the Canbus will allow me to switch maps or have the option to use Cruise Control to begin with ( showing up on the instrument cluster to advise Cruise Control being set etc etc )  Because of my model being Type SP, Cruise Control on these models was never an option from factory unfortunately.  Anyone here that is able to shed some light on if the Cruise Control via AutoStrada gives OEM ability over the cruise control. Would love and appreciate any response and/or assistance with this, also happy to answer any question about my build and ill try pitch in where I can. Warm Regards,

      I thought the only (new) BM57 that was readily available was the one that was a BM57 but with the wrong bias. HFM or someone's?
