R34 Drive Belts

[jessiek]

Hey guys time to change my accessory/drive/fan whichever one it is, on my r34

just wondering which one should i be getting Nissan,Gates, Bosch etc? thanks!

i have searched but could not find anything actually on which one to get.

Any of those is fine

The blue gates ( kevlar racing)can cause issues if installed wrong

But gates imo lasts the longest

Bosch next

Nissan next

But any of those is good for a while if installed right

So gates wouldn't be the best bet then was intrested becasue of the 3x more strenth but probaly just a gimmick,

will probaly go bosch or nissan then

thanks

Gates is the best you didnt read that right!! gates makes a black rubber belt and a blue silicone / kevlar racing belt

I have used all of them and gates outlast all

If you use the blue ones , clean the pulleys well

And your hands and be prepared to retension a couple of times the kevlar is fussy since it doesn't allow expansion and contraction like a rubber belt with nylon/ cloth does
