good timing belts? - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Is there any real difference between the various different aftermarket timing belts (HKS, Nismo, greddy, tomei, etc) for the RB26 or are belts just belts? Can't think of any other performance attribute for a timing belt other than not to break...

they use different material, like tomie with kevlar

Like anything else, the more you push it the better you need, below 450hp stick with the nissan belt but change it at more regular intervals

how about the Nismo timing belts, an upgrade over stock?

Timeing belts arent really upgrades as you wont get any performance boosts, any belt not installed properly with wrong tension can lead to destruction wether stock nismo greddy tomie etc.
