no aftermarket ecu's, no cut wires

my car used to stop dead on 175, and one day i thought, lets try this speed cut again, and to my suprise, well off the speedo, well past 180. All on a private road, true story

if you car has a speed cut, and u would like it removed, an Apexi RSM can do the trick for u

mite as well have it set as permanent u know.

i switch would be funky and all, but id save the hassle of it for something else really.

Normal driving u shouldnt get anywhere near the cutout, and i dont think it would mess with your car in any other way except remove the ceiling on top speed

OK, my R32 cuts out at 180... thats it... gets there pretty quick (you guys are right about the 100+) but when the needle hits the top... forget it... but nismodified has a good point, when, in normal driving conditions, does ANYONE need that sort of speed? never ! so i think the philosiphy of getting to that speed as soon as possible should be everyone's. big words comin from an n/a driver i know, but we can all dream....

:burnout:

    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
    • I just used a can that's easy to empty after every session and pour it back into the fill hole. Takes about 40 seconds when you have 40 minutes between runs :p I don't see how changing any catch can stuff will reduce pressure if the system is sealed. And if it's vented - Does it matter where it's vented with regards to overall pressure?
    • Welp, too late already committed to the cam cover breathers to be welded on. I did think about adding a catch can in line with the drivers side sump breather as a phase 2 along with a drain to the sump on the original catch can but with an inline ball valve so I can have it closed if needed.    Likely a single breather would have been enough but I think I’m overcompensating to hopefully not have to empty my catch can and clean up oil over flow every session.    out of curiosity has anyone actually measured crank case pressure before and after various mods? I’m considering adding a sensor for science 
    • Is it a dog or synchro box? I guess either way, if it is new and crunching in one gear only, it has to come out and go back to the shop to check/measure as there is either an assembly or manufacturing issue
