Ok, I'll add a few myself...

Some buddies and I went to a Yakult Swallows baseball game a few weeks back, and when we got to our seats, this is what we saw in the row next to us. (FYI - The guy woke up, but only about an hour after the game started.)

Not too rare but still interesting to see: An Autozam Mazda AZ1 in the carpark at Tokyo Auto Salon 2007.

I live near Mr Mt Fuji. Someone buy me a camera and I'll take some good shots. Until you do, you'll have to be satisfied with shots from my phone.

Just some pics I found in my photo file...

This is Honda's 'TORABAI' (Trunk Bike). It was designed basically as 'the worlds first simeltaneously designed car (1982 Honda City) and bike (Torabai) combination. The whole idea was that the 'trunk' of the Honda City was the 'Garage' for the bike... ie: it doesn't take up any space. The Torabai could be brought as a stand alone bike, or as a 'CAR-SET IN' (Torabai + Honda City) or in other words, a Happy Meal with bonus toy. The Honda City was pretty small as it was (the whole rear of the City was designed to accomodate the bike), having a bonus mini bike in the back for those romantic excapades down a deserted beach just made the whole package unbeatable. The Torabai had a 50cc 2-stroke engine which put out 2.5hp, just 64.5hp short of it's rolling garage home, with a 70.0km/1L fuel consumption.

Some people were gutted when they found out their spare tyre was replaced with a Torabai. yes that girls Torabai is doubling as a coffee table...

Rezz-

Those aren't men--that's Madness! What? You don't remember that crazy English ska-pop group that had a few minor hits ("One Step Beyond" and "Our House") in the early 80's? I'm seriously disappointed in your lack of trivial 80's knowledge. :(:wave:

...and another of the Uni's 'Harbour Wing'. It was only just completed earlier this year.

Portopia Hotel. When you read the English sign, you think 'Por-TOE-pee-uh', as in 'Utopia'... but the locals say 'Poooooorto-PEE-ah' which actually was supposed to mean 'Port Pier'... there was an Expo called 'Portopia '81' held as a grand opening of the island in 1981 hence the name, but any remnants of that are long gone and has made way for an extention to the island itself so yeah, it's in name only now.

All pics were taken with my Sharp 910SH mobile phone.

Anyone who uploaded attachments or linked from the SAU gallery should re-upload them if they want to see them again... I was told the problem was being worked on but I wouldn't hold out for it anytime soon.

Japan has won 3 Baseball world championships, the most recent in 2023. They're pretty damn good.
The two guys in the mural on the wall in the last pic are Darvish and Otani, both of who play in the MLB, both played for the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters team in their pre-MLB days. ESCON filed is the Fighter's home stadium.

There's a micro brewery inside the stadium as well, first time I saw such a thing... Had a beer then was told it was made right over there -->

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
