Everyone likes to hear a positive review of their effort and, just like the previous two editions, we've started hearing from people who have received their books and owner's manuals. For those of you who have not heard of us or our publications you may be cautious about the investment or if the books or manuals will be of any value to you. For that reason we are providing this page of comments we've received from customers of the NEW 3-part Datsun Roadster Book. All of the previous comments about the previous edition have been deleted except for the very last one we received - we just had to keep that one! Please read on and if you still have questions, please feel free to email us at s_sheeler@hotmail.com. We're proud to have international customers in Canada, the UK, Australia, Norway, Finland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Mexico, and Japan and we thank them for their comments. Hopefully there will be more positive comments in the future to add to this page. Maybe yours........? Oh yeah, most importantly, if you're not COMPLETELY satisfied after you receive the books or manuals you can return them (please - in new condition and well-packed) for a FULL refund! You read that correctly - we're that sure. |
| The Best Compliment Ever - June 2009 (from the 2nd edition)!! "I received my copy of "The Datsun Roadster Book" today, then spent most of the rest of the day perusing it. Thanks to all of you who described it honestly and without exaggeration. To those of you who don't have the book, consider this yet another endorsement. Buy it! There aren't too many left. Beside the dry mechanics and specs, the book has plenty of anecdotes and sidebars for liberal arts majors like me. Reading "The Fairlady Story"translated from the Japanese, I found it interesting that we all drive"Dutsuns," not Datsuns. But then, who hasn't exclaimed, "What?!" when reading a translated-from-Japanese repair manual? Plus, the photography is extraordinary. Shortly after I ordered the book, I received a kind thank you from Scott Sheeler. No Scott, the rest of us wish to thank you and your crew for such an exemplary book. Now, how do I keep the book clean, reading it while it's with me underneath my SPL? Finally, here's the standard disclaimer. I don't personally know, nor work for, nor am paid by, anyone who is responsible for the writing and publication of "The Datsun Roadster Book." This endorsement is mine; no one else's." |

| Comments About the New 3-Part Datsun Roadster Book July 18, 2010 "...I won this set at the Mitty a few years back. It was the first time I had won something really great that I really wanted. Anyways, I'm looking forward to this volume." July 14, 2010 "Didn't believe it until I saw it - what a great source of information!" " June 24, 2010 "Your books are awesome!" June 23,2010 "Scott, I bought your books awhile ago and wanted to thank you for the resource." May 26, 2010 From Australia - "G'day Scott. Part 3 arrived and is excellent. So good to know what the text was on the Fairlady 1 and 2 books from Japan. Brilliant work on your behalf to produce the 3 parts. Thanks again." May 21, 2010 "Scott, the number on parts 1 and 2 that I have is 019. Great books by the way. Thanks..." May 3, 2010 From Norway - "I just received the number three (096). I`m very satisfied with the book. A lot of things I didn't know." May 1, 2010 "Thank you so much for going to all of the effort to translate all of this material, I really enjoy the books as they have come in very handy as I restore my '69 2000." From Japan - "I came back my home yesterday a long time. I read the Datsun Roadster Books and some (owner's) manuals. How nice book and manuals!! Items had already arrived. I'm sorry I say thanks for you too late. Thanks again." April 30,2010 From New Zealand - "Thanks so much for the huge amount of effort that you have put in to assembling this information – I am sure the whole Roadster community really appreciates it. Later this year I am hoping to start on the restoration of my 67.5 Roadster that I imported from Arizona a few years back and I am positive I will be referring to the books a lot. Still unsure if I will restore it as standard, convert it to right hand drive or drop an SR20 in at this stage but look forward to the challenges involved." April 26, 2010 "Thank you for your wonderful manuals. I hope it's enough inspiration for me to get off my butt and finish my long neglected (23 years) restoration of my 68 2000. Although it was originally sold in California, I bought it in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada when I was on an exchange tour with the Canadian Air Force. Over the years I have acquired most all of the parts I need and have had a frame off restoration of the body done, but now it's a shell that needs to be reassembled, I'd almost forgotten how, when I got your book. I also sweet talked a local Nissan dealer into letting me Xerox their parts manual, but again your version is much easier to read. Enough rambling, thanks again for your wonderful books!" April 19, 2010 "Excellent product. You have my endorsement." April 14, 2010 Click here for a link to "What Others Think" April 12, 2010 "Dear Scott, Thank you for the books. They are SO GREAT. And represent a mind-boggling amount of work and research. You are to be congratulated on taking all this on and succeed at it. These are well worth the money charged. WELL WORTH. AND, it was such a good idea interspersing all those color pages thruout the books. These really dress-up the books in a very pleasant and interesting way. For me those color ads and bits of history bring back such pleasant memories to when Joan and I were so involved with her 1966 SPL311; the car that I bought her in lieu of an engagement ring. She LOVED that little car so well, that she got a job selling Datsuns, at a time when there were very few women car sales persons. She sold them right up thru Nissans for the rest of her working life, until she retired in 1995. And all because of that SPL311 Datsun Roadster. Joan passed on 15 years ago. Thank you again for these 3 great books. These will become an actual PART OF MY 1967, just as it's spare wheel is. April 4, 2010 "Thanks for putting another volume together and yes I do like the white paper better. The minute Dean had listed the book I bought it... Thanks again for making these three very nice reference manuals." April 3, 2010 "And I'm here to tell ya they look great! Road tests, racing articles, roadster ads from Japan, etc. Want to know exactly how the optional roll bar is supposed to mount? It's in there on page 124 of Volume III. And Scott's collection of analyses and service notes (which date back to the original Rising Sun Racing catalog) is still the best and most thorough reference I've ever found on our cars. But the part I'm thrilled with the most (so far - still checking them out) is the translation of the Fairlady Vols I and II books. I've owned these beautiful hardcover books for years and always wished I could actually read the text, not just look at the pictures. Now I can! Did you know a Datsun 2000 finished 9th overall in the 1968 Monte Carlo Rallye? Some people may balk at the price. Maybe I'm immune to it because, as a software developer, I spend $40-50 each for books about a particular version of a language or database system that will be made obsolete in four or five years when the next version of the software comes out. But the information in these books will never go out of date, and you can spend years trying to track down all this information yourself. I know, I've been doing it since 1971 when I bought my car. To be able to have it all put together for you in one package is definitely worth it in my opinion. Scott, thank you for all your work over the years." OWNER'S MANUALS July 12, 2010 "Great item." "Very nice reprint... Very informative and helpful with restoration." "A very nice item. Thank you!" June 20, 2010 "Very nice manual, fast shipping. Thanks!!" June 7,2010 "GREAT - love it. Thanks." May 26, 2010 "Great product, very quick shipping." From Japan - "How nice manual ! I want to do business again!" May 14, 2010 "Hi Scott, received my 1500 Owners Manual today. Very impressive! I am pleased that such a good quality reprint is available for a 45 Y.O. car, at such an affordable price. Another step towards my total restoration to a factory spec 1965 SP310! Regards from ... in the land of OZ ; )" "Thanks for pulling this together!!" "...so that's how the damn seat belts work!" "Very nice book!" "Good quality, fine book and well packed for overseas shipping. Thank You." "Great owners manual, high quality, fast shipping. Thanks!" "Awesome product. Got it today and was extremely happy." "...a beautiful reproduction manual. Thanks" "Very nice reprint, Quick service. Thanks!" From the Netherlands - "We had a meeting with 12 "Fairladies" in the Netherlands last Sunday. One guy had one of your owner manual copies: great quality! I'm looking forward to it." "Someone once said, "When it's true, it ain't braggin'." The Owner's manuals arrived today, and they are absolutely beautiful. The print quality, photo quality, color work, cover and paper quality -- all just great. I have an original manual, in fair condition. I can't say just what a genuine original looks like, but I suspect it would be difficult to tell yours from an original. Much, much better than any other reprint I have ever seen. Excellent work. "Hey your books and the owners manuals arrived. They are all Awesome!! Thanks so much." "Quick ship, properly protected. Very reasonable price. Super satisfied." "Great quality, probably better than original, quick shipping!" "Product as advertised. Super fast shipping. Better than I expected." "The next best thing to the original! Quality repro!" "Scott the manual was perfect." |
