.........    ...	Short Version Roadster enthusiasts selling parts and answering Datsun Roadster questions since 1976. Datsun Roadster hobbyists since 1972. Thousands of parts, ambitious dreamers one day, sensible professionals the next. Restored a few cars, dismantled a few, repaired a few, produced catalogs, put up a website, sold a part or two, answered the phone a few thousand times. Long Version Rallye is a USA company that specializes in parts and service for Datsun Roadsters. We have been operating in Washington State since 1976 and have been involved with the roadster since 1972. We distribute Datsun Roadster parts to all 50 states, U.S. possessions, Canada, Australia, South America, Japan and Europe. In 1987 we received mail from Antarctica and had a visitor from Kenya, Africa. Finally we could say we were known WORLDWIDE! We in many cases import parts ourselves or have them remanufactured for us. We buy tired or wrecked cars from local states and purchase new and used parts from all over the world. With new parts we try to sell genuine factory parts or in some cases parts from the original suppliers for Nissan. As time goes on this becomes harder and harder to do; however, we do not sell any part that we wouldn't use on a car here or put in our own roadsters. We have no interest in doing a service job twice, and we assume you don't either! We've worked on Datsun roadsters for 33 years and know how frustrating it is not to be able to get that clip, snap ring, or other small part needed to FINISH THE JOB! If you need a new cylinder head or just a head bolt washer...If you need a rebuilt transmission or just a snap ring...If you need a new fender or just an emblem clip...WE CAN HELP! We try to operate this business on a more personal level than you may be used to. Hopefully you will get some feeling of that from this website and I know you will from our catalog. (2004: or would if I could ever find the extra 1000 hours to reissue it!) Installation questions are gladly answered on your "Rallye" parts! We've been able to see our 29th year in business by providing service AFTER the sale. In addition to stock parts, we carry performance parts, accessories, and also many kits and fixes to help your roadster live a long, happy and economical life. All of the parts we try to stock are listed in our CATALOG. Our catalog is far from just a parts list, it has lots of service tips and discussions of the roadster problems that can happen...AND HOW TO PREVENT THEM! (2004: Sooner or later I'll realize I'll NEVER have time to redo the catalog and will put the old stuff on the website) So relax and disregard all those times you have been told that you can't get parts for your car! The availability of parts is good and in some cases getting better. The roadster wasn't in production long enough for all of the rough spots to be "engineered out", but with a little tinkering, you can have one of the best built sports cars around. More and more roadsters are making the journey from a dusty barn to the local car show, and if you haven't fixed your car up to the point where you can enjoy a long road trip you've missed one of the best parts of sports car ownership. If you decide to make your roadster a "museum-piece," or just dependable transportation, we can help. We have some closure periods which are listed on the home page. During many of these "closures" we may be in and out, and sometimes only the phone service is suspended. Faxed, emailed and mailed orders may be shipped as usual. These times are used to rebuild components, procure parts, work on the long term tasks that will enable us to continue to provide you parts and service in the future, and to enjoy the people and pastimes that make life worth living. Future? Retirement? Since I voluntarily committed myself to this nut farm we call Rallye I suppose I could quit and go back to the real world if I want to. I'd feel terribly guilty though, about leaving numerous federal, state, and county agencies to fend for themselves without my taxes to waste. Sometime in most people's lives they start making a list--of what they want to do before they die. I've been doing that and it really will take some time to complete. My first entries have been: Be a Shepard Be a Street Musician Have a Beachfront Cafe in Hawaii Drive in a Demolition Derby Hop on a Moving Freight Train Make Candles Captain a Charter Boat Teach Kids to Read Grow Crops Tip Over another Excavator (no other rush has ever matched it!) Drive from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and from Canada to Mexico on the oldest/worst/smallest roads possible Spend enough time on horseback that I forget my previous two adventures on same. Finally learn how to weld...PROPERLY! Visit all of my friends and family members until they actually ask me to leave. It goes on from there...some tongue-in-cheek, some not. When I started this I had no idea it would become our lives, that the demand would be so strong and for so long. At one time I thought I'd be happy to make it to 20 years, then I REALLY felt I'd cut it off at 25. Now I'm looking down the barrel of 30 and thinking 35 is probably the limit. I have a feeling the cars, the parts and I am all going to fade out at the same time. I don't think there's anyone dumb enough to take this operation over, so we'll just keep roadstering along. We have always ordered inventory looking 2-3 years ahead. Parts availability is making that hard to do, so if you want something get it before they are gone. I'll look at this page in 2010 years and see if I've changed my mind... Have a good one! Dann		........ ...
