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.

poor block, i feel sorry for him, should be allowed to have a little fun every now and then...

LOL just kidding good luck to him, coz i got caught doing 30 ver the limit and im out for six months, wouldnt want to know how long he's out..

hahaha! yeah i read this on the way home from work 2day...on the train.... and it kinda pissed me off that he 'happened' to be driving a Nissan GTS... we're back in the spotlight for the wrong reasons because of an idiot... why couldn't he have been driving a BMW....:uhh:

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'...

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
