There has been four or five threads looking for Nate in the past few months (both this BBS and the "other" BBS). Word is, he's gone.

Good luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

He moved over by Bugformance here in Sac, we could probably call them and they would know.

I have his phone number, one day he just stopped answering it... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

After the move to the Bugformance area he moved to West Sacramento. I am not sure he is still at that shop or if the doors have closed. That move was months ago... None of us locals have seen him. He hasn't come to any events that I have seen him...

I will speak up on my experiences with Nate, nothing but good to say.

I don't know what happened to him but had email exchanges with him earlier this year. He told me there was a recent death in the family and was struggling to deal with that, so there was some delay in our correspondence.

I had bought some parts from him that were described as 'good condition and not rusty' sometime in the summer of 2007. I did not pay that much for them, but when received they are not 'good' but rusty throughout and worthless. I put them in my attic for about 6 months then was reminded to contact him and did. I ended up returning the defective parts and he was resposible enough even after all that time to refund not only what I paid him, but also for the shipping I orioginally paid. he told me that I sdhould not have hesitated to contact him if I was not satisfied.

He is a good man in my book, and always respectful, maybe he just burned out on the 914-thing.

Here is the address he supplied me for my recent return. I dont have a phone #. I only hesitatingly post this on the forum for those needing to contact him, because I believe he is honorable and would want to be contacted if there are any reasonable dissatisfactions.

He goes by the moniker 'addwestern' on this forum and was on here as recently as May.

Nate was always fine to deal with for me...even gave me a few free parts when I needed them quickly. I didn't want to imply anything else.

If I hear from him, I will convey this thread to him

I too had a very positive transaction with Nate. He gave me the best price I could find on a set of new Euro-spec Mahle P/Cs. Sorry to see him out of the business.

Ditto on the positive experience.

Personally I wouldn't be to happy to learn that someone posted my address to a public forum without my permission, especially in a thread with the tone of this one. A phone number is one thing, an address is another.

As would I. But, this is his last known business address. Not his personal address. Nothing at all wrong with giving out the business address to someone who has done business with Nate. It is probably stale anyway. I suspect Nate is out of business and thus, not at the address.

Ok...but that's not clear to me from Jeff's post, do you know this to be true? He just said it was an address provided for a return ~ lots of folks run these little 914 ops out of their garages.

I digress, it makes no difference to me. Personally, *I* wouldn't post someone's address on a public forum. Aside from being polite, if doing so somehow put them in harm's way I wouldn't want that to come back to me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Ummm... the guy owes Jonathan money. Jonathan isn't saying he is a bad guy or anything. He is just trying to find the guy so he can collect. Is that wrong? If I were an agent in Cali I would give Jonathan his home address.

For those of you who have not done business with Jonathan I will tell you that he has been one of the best 914 guys I've dlt with. He also stands 100% behind his products and gets them to you FAST (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) . So if someone didn't pay up and is hurting his business... that sucks.

googles cache comes up with

http://209.85.141.104/search?q=cache:Xcdt7...lient=firefox-a

So your guess is as good as mine, last I know he stopped selling 914 parts and moved into selling all porsche parts, like pelican. I cant remember his new site. He used to post alot of ads on craigslist and then they stopped.

Yes. I know this to be a business address in a business park less than 2 blocks from my own office and operations center. I also know that Nate lives somewhere other than that address given. West Sac. is about 20 miles from the last suburb I know of that Nate lived at. I suspect that if Nate has ceased operations that address is no good. Nate started operations in a storage facility in West Sac. He may have moved back to something like that. But, I suspect that when someone who has been responsive and responsible suddenly disappears, they are out of business or God forbid worse...

Huh? I don't know anything about a guy named Jonathan, and I'm not talking about Nate in particular. I'm talking about posting (what originally interpreted to be) someone's home address in a public forum. That's it.

If I knew how to contact Nate I'd be inclined to share that info with Jonathan too, but I'd do so in a more discreet fashion ~ PM, email, whatever.

Jonathan, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hijacked.gif) ...sorry. I hope you get your funds back.
