Driver clocked at 208kmh, say police

July 25, 2005 - 10:37AM

A man has been charged with reckless driving after allegedly driving almost 100kmh above the speed limit on a freeway south-west of Sydney.

Police said the 27-year-old from Bellevue Hill, in Sydney's east, was clocked driving his Nissan GTS coupe at 208kmh in a 110kph zone on the Hume Highway near Mittagong about 11.40pm (AEST) last night.

He was charged with driving a vehicle reckless or furiously and will appear in Moss Vale Local Court on August 15.

His licence had been immediately suspended.

all I can say is he must have had some serious intent if he really was in a non turbo skyline. it would take some pretty long road to wind a GTS up to a 'real' (ie not speedo indicated) 208kmh. the speedo would be reading about 230-250 at that speed (if not still 180kph speedo).

he will now be enjoying ye olde public transport, and the lifto-bludgo for many moons to come.

If its on the Hume near Mittagong, I can pretty much guess where he did it, too.

I'd assume he did it on the northbound side, since it runs downhill. At which point, if he started at 110km/hr or so before hitting this section......200km/hr would be easy to achieve.

actually the last guy caught speeding in a bentley is in jail. or perhaps it was a bugatti? either way I believe that counts as 'uber-exotic'...

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
