racetech:"At least you blokes can by off the shelf Datto parts, appreciate it." thats it, and if they went cheaper they either go out of buisness or send you cheaper parts.

Probably wasnt worth deleting the topic title, this has been a massive perk for Maddat

Poor old Maddat gettin bagged.

Lizardpenis - you need to somehow get a little more commonsense.....or a better grasp on reality.

in reply to my gemini comment
it was meant in a way if you think datsun parts are too expensive, maybe you would be better off with a gemini, which parts are a hell of a lot easier to come by and alot cheaper
i didnt say whoever doesnt buy maddat parts are tight arses, i would much rather prefer to do thing myself too as i do,
and lets face it no-one wants to own a gemini

I think that you guys might have upset the lizardman. He is still entitled to his opinion. Personally I think that some of their prices are a bit steep too but nobody is forcing me to buy their products. I have a set of their strut tops as I thought they were definitely the best value for money.

Yay I love these nameless threads!

I have no personal relationship with MADDAT but I can tell you this based on the replies about them sending over replacement gear at their own cost - that imho makes them saints. By crikey, whatever you blokes do, don't get involved in mopars. There are some absolute top blokes in that area, but one or two mopar related vendors, you'd think their real name was Bernie Madoff. ABsolute scum. You just wouldn't believe some of their antics and refusal to honor warranty. Hell one of them even goes as far as to make out the gearbox conversions they bought from Castlemaine Rod Shop were their own creation!

If I had the budget, I'd go the pre-fabbed stuff. I currently don't so have to diy, which isn't always fun. Went through 3 different spring sets none of which were a proper fit or were non captive, only to have a forum member show me an old thread (whcih my own searching didn't turn up!) about using gemini front coils. Woo-hoo- I could have done it for $50, but it ended up costing nearer $400 to find that out!

I have only just seen these posts, and at the start was a bit annoyed with it, but as i read on my my worries changed.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and these fourms are great for that, i have do it myself. I try not to insult or offend people, or make statments that arnt true as that helps nobody.

I would like to thank everyone that has said nice things about there experiances with dealing with Tamra and Myself, and for the parts they have recived. We are a small family buisness trying our best to produce the highest of quality products for the small Datsun market, for the various makes and models. We aim to provide a service for the DIYers out there, by selling components as well as complete packages.
Not every one has the equipment, time, ability, or want to build everything from scratch. Not forgetting designing, trialing, engeneering, manufacturing, then marketing, selling, and shipping the products, and warrant.


And i am going to start working on some components for the 1000 people out there, it has been on my "develop parts list" for a while, I have just finished R200 axel kits for the 180b/1600.

Thanks Lizardhead.

well i am really a diy fabrication kind of guy. if i can do it i will even if it mean i have to sit and learn how to do it and troubleshoot i will. but when it comes to maddat they offer a great service to anyone without the mechanical knowledge to do it themselves. and as its been said what other older cars can you get off the shelf performance parts?

this topic should be call "unpaid maddat testimonials" lol
