Gates 1993-1997 Infiniti J30 / 1990-1996 Nissan 300ZX Racing Performance Timing Belt
The Gates T251RB is a racing performance timing belt designed for high-revving engines in 1993-1997 Infiniti J30 models and 1990-1996 Nissan 300ZX variants. It replaces the factory belt with materials built to handle racing stresses including elevated temperatures and torque loads. Drivers choose it for consistent valve timing in demanding track or street performance use.
Key Features
- Circular tooth serration: Reduces noise and ensures positive engagement for accurate timing under high loads
- Reinforced construction: Extra high-modulus cords resist stretch and breakage during prolonged high-RPM operation
- High-temperature compound: Rated for continuous use up to 250°F with resistance to oil and coolant exposure
- Narrower profile: Cuts weight by up to 30% over stock while maintaining OEM-equivalent width for pulley compatibility
- 251 teeth precision molding: Matches exact OEM tooth count and pitch for drop-in installation on VG30DE and VG30DETT engines
Product Notes
