There can be a problem with some Nissan Skylines or RB powered cars tossing power steering belts at high rpm. Often after some power steering pump, or damper changes. Here are a few things to test/try to sort out your power steering belt loss issue.
Alignment
The biggest thing to be sure of, is alignment of the parts. If they aren't straight, then the belt doesn't run true. Spinning the engine at 8000 rpm that little 4 rib belt is doing its best to stay on.
It is notable that on an RB26, the R32 and R33/R34 have different power steering pump drives. The offset is different. So if you are mixing and matching parts, make sure you understand what you have and what you are doing. Its all based off the power steering pump used.
3PK= 3 rib belt
4PK= 4 rib belt
Then the numbers are length in mm, or inches.
Power Steering Pump
The R32 pump with Hicas offset is different than the R33/R34 pump without Hicas. If you have swapped pumps to eliminate Hicas, you may have a belt alignment issue. Check this first. Get the damper to match the pump, or shim the pump to match the alignment of the damper.

Secondary Power Steering Idler
 |
| Nissan RB Power Steering Idler |
Ross Performance has an add on idler pulley that helps prevent belt loss at high RPM. This power steering idler assembly increases belt to wrap around the power steering pulley. This provides greater surface contact between belt and pulley, reducing the potential for slippage and/or spitting of belts under consistently higher RPM. https://rossperformanceparts.com/product/nissan-rb-power-steering-idler-assembly-to-suit-serpentine-belt/
