it would have been a lot easier to check when the motor was out of the car. If u take off the timing belt cover, you will be able to check the condition of the belt. If its an aftermarket belt ie Gates or delco, you should be able to clearly see the logo stamped onto the belt if its a fairly new belt.

The prudent thing to do in a car which has a questionable service history is to bite the bullet and change them! I had a friend who took the previous owners word regarding servicing, in particular the timing belt, and he ended up with a busted engine from a stuffed timing belt.... Cheaper to change the belt than the engine!

right with that one mate:)

iv just replaced the belt on my 33, and its not a hard job to do just fiddly

if your taking the timing cover off, for the sake of $70 i would bite the bullet and replace the belt. At least u have to peace of mind that you know its been done.

of u can do it yourself it makes it easy:)

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.

      Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.

      Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.

      Hence why I've only modified my car into a pure daily. Everything has to remain reliable & roadworthy, while providing value and grin factor. It also must not be handcrafted to the extent that the car will be immovable if something breaks because you cannot get or make a replacement to at least limp around with.
