Greddy Timing Belt

[Logikal]

Hi all,

Just wondering who has used the Greddy Timing belt?

Anyone have any opinions on it?

If so, is it as good as the Gates timing belt or better?

[Logikal]

no body using one?

[gun32gtr]

i use gates and its good...

[hanyou]

i dont think it really makes a difference to be honest. if i were u id jus go with gates

[Mr Italy!]

I use gates.... it does just what a timing belt should and not much more

[gun32gtr]

yeh i think it would be hard to go wrong when choosing a belt...

i stuck to the original after racking my brains comparing all the other aftermarket ones. i guess unless your making mega power gates or standard is fine. i just wanted a belt thats guaranteed not to hum and im not after mega power so yeah.

Its not the belt that hums its the tension set on it that causes it to hum. If its too tight it will do exactly that, hum. Usually quiten down after a week or 2. So no belt can be guaranteed not to hum.

Gates Racing timing belt is the same thing as the Greddy one. I've seen the Gates Racing (blue) belts on heaps of high performance Nissans, I have one sitting in the shed ready to install soon myself.

I'm pretty sure the Gates belt comes out of the same factory as one of the Jap brands anyway, it says MADE IN JAPAN on it (it physically looks identical to the Greddy one except the logo & part number on it). So the quality is exactly the same, but HEAPS CHEAPER. cant go wrong really. Gates also just released new adjustable timing cam gears too...funnily enough only to suit Jap cars and have the EXACT same part numbers as the HKS items...hmmm (only difference is the the centre part is blue)

quality the same...cost less....Go for the GATES RACING belt. Should be able to get it for less than $100. I paid $89 for mine.

part number on my box is : T1040R

hope thats of some help. Cheers

I just did my r33 4 door belt & I bought one off ebay!!!! Its a Mitsubushi (spelling!!) brand but looks fine to me, cost $75 all up with postage......there is a great link with step by step instructions on how to change the belt on the STAGEA links pages in this Skylines Aust site too.......the hardest thing is how to get the bloody tight bolt undone holding the crankshaft balancer pulley on........

I just put in a Trust/Greddy timing belt on thursday.. NO issues and no noise.. (Gates belt are noisy)

The quailty of the belt is excellent..

Any users of Pitwork Timing Belt / HKS Timing Belt?

Am considering to have either one in my ER34.

i use the Greddy belt on my RB26. the gates belts may be ok, but if the noise is all set-up then why do you never hear of anyone with a hks, greddy, nissan, nismo belt complaining. it's awfully coincidental that so many people have problems with the gates belts but no other brand.

Im using a Gates belt.

Never had any problems.

As someone told me belts are all gates do, all there RND is on them and they are very good at it. Its how they make their money.

Greddy only do some Timing belts on top of everything else. (not saying theres anything wrong with Greddy)

Both are made in Japan anyway!!

I agree. I just replaced the one on my car with a genuine Nissan- no problems at all. My friend has a gates on his & it hums its little head off.

what drugs are you on, gates belts arent noisy.........

and get a gqates one the diff between standard and a gates is like $25 why be cheap on something that lasts three times as long. And greddy are just overpriced.
