genuine are pretty good. all the gates belts i've seen were noisy as hell. and personally I thought the quality a little suspect.

gates are not noisy if u dont tension them like a banjo string, mine is silent and fine once adjusted correctly, when i first installed it i did it tight and it did make a whineing noise.

yeah, sorry it could have been installation no doubt. but it just seemed awfully coincidental. i've seen nismo, trust HKS, none noisy. then i saw probably half a dozen gates and all were noisy. you are right though improper tension will make any belt noisy.

no need to be sorry mate :blink: i see those comments about gates belts alot on the forums. i was just stating my experiences with them, i know alot of noisy ones too and even a workshop i used to use said mine was normal when it was whining like crazy, the next time i put it on i did it with a touch less tension and it sounds silent so im happy, ive used 3 gates belts now and they are all quiet so alot is to do with installation i reckon

This has been my experience. Have heard of half a dozen noisy setups using blue Gates belts; slacken them off a bit and they are fine.

As for whats best, OEM is best in all but the most hardcore setups imo.

Oh, and search :blink:

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
