Laecaon Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Really bad history. Like never buy a Datsun from him or have engine work done there. Many people here can vouch on this. Stay away, buyer beware. 1 Quote Link to comment

I live 5 minutes away from Bill's Datsun, but based on what I've read on Ratsun, I'm too afraid to go... I don't like getting prison raped dry. I don't even want him to know that I have a Datsun! :rofl: 1 Quote Link to comment

d510addict Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 He scammed me for like 25 bucks for a resister? (the thing that goes in points dizzys), I had to pay it because no one else could find one. Quote Link to comment
paradoxx Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Iv seen a motor from him intentionally have the cam timing set a tooth off so they would have to come back to have it "fixed" along with a "rebuilt" motor that was just a polished turd This is how normally chep mechanics work here, that is why me and my dad had to do our stuff ever since. For example, an engine rebuilt that my dad did like 25 years ago, he asked for japan valves, so the mechanic bought taiwan and kept the remaning money......the engine lasted rebuilted 3 months. Poor original Bill, his name is being pounded! Quote Link to comment
danfiveten Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I knew a guy that had something done there. He had just had the carbs adjusted, car was running great and just needed something small done, cnat rmember what it was. He was then told his carbs were acting up, started the car and it was running like shit...yah great guy right, rigging shit to fuck up on purpose. Quote Link to comment
Hardwyre Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Sounds like he needs to have a cammed and micced car brought by his shop. There's tons of lovely videos all over Youtube of people spying on their mechanics by hiding microphones and camera. The shit some mechanics say about their customers. "(on phone) Hey dude! Ya, I'm going to make that stupid cunt pay a grand to replace her cap and rotor. Ya, she things I'm rebuilding the head." Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 WOW THIS IS SAD I HATE SHYSTERS SPY CAM AND YOU TUBE SOMEONE PLEASE Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 hes deff not still in buesness from Datsun stuff locals know to stay away. every time Iv driven buy it I never saw anything but shitty american cars and boats outside. the same crashed Z parts car has been sitting on the side for like 5 years :rofl: Quote Link to comment
Silky_Johnson Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 If he was smart, he would have: A. Been a good mechanic (honest too); and B. Joined this forum to actually be a part of the Datsun community. ...Could have made way more money that way rather than cheating people and poisoning the well. From what I hear, he has a lot of parts? He just charges WAY too much for them. And his headers suck. Quote Link to comment
DRIVEN Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 He once quoted me $25 each for used A-series pushrods. I had to pass. Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 Haha, wow. You could have them made for that price. Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Sorry for digging from the grave but just wanted to say thanks for this thread. Was about to try to purchase an A-series header for the B210 and now I'm gonna look elsewhere. Maybe someone should remove bill's as the place to go in the US for good A-series headers on the 1200 wiki... 2 Quote Link to comment

355K+ Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 I apologize ahead of time if I step on any toes inadvertently - Im new Ok I had used Bill's datsun previously - so far havent been ripped off (that I know of) - I have seen other reviews too being negative now that I dug around on that place. Metro Metric also used to be good while Chuck was at the helm. When it passed to new ownership - well things went downhill from there. So my question to all here - What is your recommendations for the Portland Oregon area for a good datsun/nissan mechanic? 1 Quote Link to comment
