hey guys im wanting to get into the slidding scene and was going to do a budget r31 slidder. But a few of u have said that the r31 is no good to drift. one is this tru and second. where is the best place to start looking for a shell or whole car just for track use. i cant find em any where.

is there a side on the webb i should know about

or if any one knows where i can get a shell (and but saying shell i mean rolling shell not one up to the axles)

cause i want to build one my self ya know and now have some spare time to do so

i already own an r33 as my daily driver so im maybe after an r32, 180sx or s14 200sx. or if anyone should tell me the r31 is good to drift one of those

let me know. cheers :P

I drifted a 31 for about 18 months, good to learn on as u dont rely on the handbrake (it doesnt work at all) I never ever had a wheel alignment, you just adjust your driving to suit. Learn to drift in one then upgrade to a drift friendly s13/180 and u will be the king

    • Yay. I'm the lucky one who got the bad LCD. Only 138,000km or so on this car.  🙄 On a non-Nissan car I have, similar issues were related to failing cold solder joints. At least with the Stag, I'm not losing my speedometer, odometer, gas gauge, and temp gauge. I guess I get to go into the dash at some point. I'm not overly concerned about it, but it's annoying. Seems to be happening more frequently in the past couple weeks too. Not sure if that's the summer heat causing hassles or the problem genuinely getting worse. Bleh.
    • Hi mate, I have never had an issue with the odometer in mine (450,000+ klm now) and can't remember another post about it. Still, your description of the likely cause sounds spot on, so an electrics repair is probably the next stop.
    • Cheers. I more want it quieter with the varex open. I only have the varex closed when i start up and roll out the driveway to keep everyone happy on days i take the car to work at 5 AM or come home late. So just a mod muffler will do tge trick? Something like that would require a retune hey?
    • I was going to say generally speaking if it's like 80k+ miles since the valve cover has been replaced you don't even attempt to just replace the gasket. The valve cover itself will likely be warped and it will continue to leak after replacement, just not as severely. The valve cover PCV diaphragm can also tear and create a major vacuum leak. Welcome to BMW life. My friend's 2006 330i was t-boned and totaled out so he also just got a 335i so I can add to this thread now.
    • Hi all, For my '98 260rs... The odometer LCD occasionally turns blank or gives me only the bottom half or top half of the numbers. It's intermittent, which leaves me to believe it's a dead solder or loose wire somewhere. The odometer itself works. When the screen comes back, kms have been added to the trip and overall meters. A couple questions: Is this a known issue with the Stagea? I didn't see it pop up in my quick search, but that could be my searching skills. How accessible is the LCD screen in the cluster? I'm hoping it's a remove and replace type situation versus cracking open the whole housing. I'm hoping you all can narrow some of my initial troubleshooting. Any experience or opinions would be helpful.
