    S15/Q45 question

    in Drivetrain

    Posted

    No fail, I've just been gone for the holidays! :mrgreen:

     

    I found out that the S15 Silvia SPEC R Helical LSD differential will indeed fit in the Q45 case.

     

    Unfortunately even though the Q45 stub axles are also 30mm and 30 spline, like the S15, you will have to use S15 stub axle shafts because of the difference in length, or modify the Q45 ones to fit the S15 LSD unit.

     

    Here is a useful site I found.

    I've been wondering the same thing about the stubs. If yours are out, take measurements. I've got my S15 helical and stubs on my work bench and can compare.

    I will check this week and post what I find.

    Don Potter Racing Cam?

    in Nissan L6 Forum

    Yes but buying the most expensive cam doesn't always yield the best results. Get the right cam for your application. Not the right cam for someone else. Talk to Ron at isky. He can recommend a good cam. He will tell you that his $360 new cams aren't as good as his $140 regrinds. Racer brown is another old school datsun cam you should research.

     

    Price is subjective, Don Potter did supposedly study under Ed Iskederian and Harvey Crane.

    Isky has a .535" regrind for $140. It would probably do great in most L6s. Why pay almost tripple the price?

     

    According to Steve Bonk, many people are not aware of this, but the same lift and duration on 2 cams can be completely different acting cams in a engine. This cam has very fast ramps, allowing in more fuel and air than a similar sized cam.

    OK, I've been conversing the seller (Steve Bonk) and he says he bought the rights and patterns for the cams he sells from Don Potters widow.

     

    Steve Bonk says, he purchased at least one of every grind Don Potter had from his Widow. And that people who are part of the Datsun scene, know him and his reputation.

    My problem is, how do I really know it is really a Don Potter pattern?

     

    The seller says he will provide a cam card with all the specs, but how do you verify that it is the Don Potter grind that Randy Welch won 3 solo autocross championships with, if there are no available Don Potter cam specs?

     

    If it can be verified as legit, then I would order one myself!

    Thanks for the info, I had no idea!

     

    One of the reasons I love HybridZ is I always learn something.

     

    Anyway, the guy that's sell the cam, is reproducing them using a original #360-09 Don Potter cam profile.

     

    No specs, other than a .535 lift.

     

    He claims this cam should create 243hp at rear wheels in your 2.4 liter motor if you run 12 to 1 compression. For larger motors, you will get a larger number.

    Custom LD28 Crankshafts

    Just buy one of my LD28 crankshafts..... ;)   Made in Japan and tested in a diesel for a couple of miles!

    Lol :D

     

    Thanks, but unless your selling it cheap, it would be cheaper for me to find one state side, as shipping would be expensive.

    For giggles I did a search for Nissan LD28 products on Alibaba.com and a butt load of vendors came up.

     

    With regards to LD28 crankshafts, this one looked interesting. Better information, pictures and they only require a 5 piece minimum order!

     

    They look more professional.

     

    Comments please.
