Orange part numbers are for Nissan OEM belts. Green part numbers are for Gates belts. The 3-Rib Power Steering Belts are used by ALL Non-Turbo Z32s and 94-96 TTs. 90-93 TTs used 4-Rib power Steering Belts.

V1 or V2

There are two generations of Underdrive pulleys. The V1 had an underdriven power steering pulley (the front-most section), and the V2 maintains the stock size for the power steering, and ALL V2 pullies use 4-rib power steering segments, though they can still be used with 3-rib belts. The V2 is also only available in the aluminum finish, whereas the V1 was available with several color options. Refer to the image below to determine which version you have:
