Heck yeah 2JZs are awesome. Sounds great, makes amazing power, can be reliable. Still an inline 6, and loads better than an N53. Nice.

I replaced the aluminum motor mount arm bolts which had sheared all four under hard acceleration. Car felt like worn motor mounts having a vibration in gear at idle. Luckily lifting the engine up with lift bar made it possible to remove arm and access the broken bolts in the block.

the only issue, here, a GTE in good shape will run around 10-15k$ cad At that price, nothing around . Would be cheaper to get a complete aristo or get a GE and built it. And find a suitable or built a r154 manual transmission. At this price I can built 2 or 3 n54 But not as cool and prestigious. |

I also looked for alternatives including the Indies and they were like $50 difference. Keep in mind the 1 series is not daily driven. I've had this set of tires on it for a couple years but I bought them used to try them out and they are not showing signs of dry rot |

A set of michelin 4s here is 2300$ Indy : 1550$ 750$ difference... in 18'' for few bucks, I wont mind, but 750$, with a very high risk to not go through them , because of a flat/pot hole/too old. on my F25 need to replace 2x 275x40x19, because wife hit a pothole, got a massive sidewall bubble. The tire had only 10k km on it. 800$ right there. Last edited by oVeRdOsE.; 04-09-2024 at 06:46 AM.. |

You have to drive it on the ground (like around the block) so it can see the difference in abs sensors when turning. I’ve gotten that one twice when I left the doors open and ran the battery down.

But must be something else, it wont go away. I did not had time to check this yet. Ill check wheel rotation with INPA, all 4 should read the same, if tires got same pressure. Not impossible that a cable on the abs sensor internally broke. Did not go to my alignment yet. soon. Hopefully by next week |

From what I read you have it up in the air, so all 4 turn at same speed. That is a fault, because they should all be turning at different speeds when you turn a corner/turn the wheel.
If the abs sensors all check out as good, go drive it around the block or drive a figure 8 or drive a circle clockwise and then counter clockwise. That walkways cleared it x3 and on my e91 x. Anytime it loses electrical power you will get the trifecta of lights. Mine usually clears after I back out of the driveway amd then turn left at the corner.

Excuse the filthy engine bay....but installed an OEM performance strut brace. Shout out to NOKO for selling it to me.
Had to make an 1/8" spacer to lift the brace up as it rubbed on the top of the engine cover; these bars were meant for N52 cars. |

Ordered new tires for my E91, because . . . well, this:
I had been feeling looseness and sliding in the rear the last couple of times I drove it so I pulled off the wheels to check suspension components and found the rears with severe inside wear. The fronts are also showing uneven wear on the insides, but nowhere near this bad. I'd had it aligned in December and am hoping that this uneven wear was from before the alignment, but I am surprised that the shop did not notice the wear and try to sell me new tires. Anyway, new Continental DWS06+ tires. Then, get the alignment checked and sorted so it doesn't reoccur (and then better monitor tire wear).

FYI that is almost always toe out.
Finally got the tools cleaning supplies, paints, etc etc mostly put away from everything I worked on over the winter and got the white mini (needs clutch) scooted over from the middle so I could finally get the e91 into the garage.

You have two R53’s!
They are awesome especially the feeling of using the indicators! |

Yes, the before report from the last alignment was:
LF 0.06 RF 0.09 Total Toe 0.16 Steer Ahead -0.02 LR -0.13 RR 0.10 Total Toe -0.03 Thrust Angle -0.11 After: LF 0.05 RF 0.04 Total Toe 0.09 Steer Ahead 0.01 LR -0.07 RR 0.11 Total Toe 0.17 Thrust Angle -0.02 So, my bad for letting it be so out of alignment for long enough to ruin the tires - Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3, five years old but with only 20k miles on them.
