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 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.

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..

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.

    • Hey guys, I have dipped my toes into the pool of skylines finally and figured I would get amongst the forums and make an introduction post! My name is Callum, I'm from the north side of Sydney, and I am now 6 months into owning my 1992 R32 GTS-T (already having half of that time off the road in true nissan fashion). It is originally an AH3 car but at some stage of its life it has been resprayed in and out in TH1 with (in the sellers words) extra purple, parked next to an actual TH1 car it is a fair bit lighter in colour. It has also had the original RB20 swapped out for an RB25DET NEO which I presume to be out of a Stagea going off the AWD sump that has been sealed up. I won't go super into detail with mods as I want to create a build thread post soon. Unfortunately the car seems to have had a hard life as many of these have being previously a cheap sub 10k car, and I have barely any history on it so if anyone happens to recognise the car or thinks they may have any history I would LOVE to hear it as I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to car history, the seller had it roughly since 2020 I believe and was from Parramatta area if that helps. Look forward to being a part of the community, I have been to 2 SAUNSW events already (one being in 2022 prior to ownership, and once more a few weekends ago) so you could say I am not brand new to it but can definitely be more involved via the forums! (side note: I am pretty new to forums and struggled to attach pictures of the car, is there an easier method than having to have the pictures on facebook and copying the link from there? would love to know for future reference cheers!)
    • I have GT2860R. I'm not sure if they are -5 or -7. Do you know? These are the exact ones.  https://www.enjukuracing.com/products/garrett-rb26dett-gruppe-n-turbo-upgrade.html?srsltid=AfmBOopSCzHaDtf7nggL6R8KrD8RJP4wxBJitmkRmswmv2SaEbAVcxTe And to be honest, i think the car was the most enjoyable to drive on the streets when it was 280hp (205kw). I could enjoy all the revs to redline i wouldn't be going crazy fast, but just fast enough to know that you are working the car.  
    • If i used a cooling system pressure tester, would it show me a leak with the head gasket? Ive used one before to chase down a leaking coolant hose. Not sure if this will work on the oil-cooler warmer. 
    • Hi all,   suspect this is a common problem. I think I missed 4th gear a bit when I shifted down from 5th. Now it grinds into 4th with the downshift. Is it the sychro and what do I need to replace when I open the gear box up?    added a photo of my new titanium intake I just installed and built. 👍💪
