Hey everyone.

i wanted to know everyone’s thoughts on timing belts and brand choice. I’m currently building an RB25DET. Nothing on the crazy side, it’ll be a reliable (hopefully) 500bhp.

Regarding timing belts, there’s a lot of choice in terms of OEM, Gates Racing Belt, Nismo, Tomei etc etc.

My question is, are these aftermarket belts actually superior and recommended for a build like mine or is stock perfectly acceptable?

I’m taking the correct measures regarding belt stretch with a crank and cam trigger kit. I just don’t want to make the wrong choice for my timing belt.
