Stick a set of JATO packs on the roof & it'd do that speed, but it'd only do it ONCE! :D

JATO ='s Jet Assisted Take Off rocket packs. Used for getting C130 Hercules off the ground in very short spaces.

A guy in the US tried this very same trick in an old Chev. He got plenty of speed (500km/h+ from memory?) but after attempting to brake (brakes cook & failed instantly!) the car lifted off the road & hit a cliff face @ full speed.

It is very unlikly that the Camera could pick that speed, I've seen some camera's used on F111's on take off and the are quite blury, let alone a domestic type speed camera

That JATO system sounds interesting, never seen that in use, the C130 takes off in pretty short distance already.

If you want to see a JATO rocket in action on a car have a look at the movie "Cannonball Run" the police car that spins out in the desert has one mounted east west across the car to put it into a spin. The stuntman drove along at 50mph and then hit the go button......its an awesome spin it goes into....I don't think they ever used this set up again!!!

first of all.....the speed camera must have been made in some eastern country...second of all even if he DID reach those speeds..he cant cop the g-forces and the cops wont be able to catch him cos he will be in a totally different country by thetime they reach there car and turn it on..third of all...even if he did reach those speeds...how the f*ck could he have been stopped....fourthly there is no street long enough in malaysia for a car to reach those speeds...fifth the wind resistance would cause great resistance..thus a road car wouldnt have the rigidity to cop such resistances..it would probably break up into peices at that stage just like a space shuttle re-entering the earths surface ata an angle to deep......and the list goes on....

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
