Short explanation:
Somebody at Nissan Enthusiast Forum paid to allow their members access to Chilton's service.
(Even their free memberships get access.)

Longer explanation:
Each and every time you click on any web link,
the receiving server sees the page you came from.

The underlying address of the link at Nissan Enthusiast is -
h t t p://infotrac.galegroup.com/itweb/sava66375?db=CHLL&id=40539003520151
(broken up so our forum software doesn't reformat it for us)

Here, infotrac.galegroup.com is acting as a gateway.
If you came from nissanclub.com, CHLL&id=40539003520151 is a match and you're sent to the correct page.
If you came from ecomodder.com, CHLL&id=40539003520151 is not a match and you're redirected to the error page.

The correct page is
h t t p://www.chiltonlibrary.com/Index.aspx
But if you don't arrive at that page from infotrac.galegroup.com, you're redirected to another error page.
