I've just got off the phone with UAS and they have had some delays with the manufacturer. At present the arms are getting the final coating done and should be ready in the next couple of weeks.

have given john a kick in the arse.... but he is waiting on a machining shop

if you want to bail i can refund your depsit

Will these be for sale after this groupbuy? I wanted to be apart of the GB but funds have been tight up until now.

I really want these so I hope they will be available.

Or if you can ship to Canada and someone is going to drop out I will take there spot!

group buy is sold out so they made 40 and its fully subsribed so john says

So who's on the list to get them? I have money sitting here ready to pay the full amount when ready.

So I went out to Bosenjack engineering today to have a look at these things for myself and get some up to date pics for everyone.

Tell you what they put on the best smoke and mirror show I have ever seen. Awesome workshop, very clean and well equipped. Terry is a tope bloke he took a good half an hour off to show me all the bits and pieces, draw diagrams, answer all my questions, etc etc.

But I guess you all want the pictures? For starters here is a shot showing all of the pieces made up and ready for assembly. I will save black baz the trouble and point out myself that the bits are in fact silver, not black (or paisley, tartan, plaid :P) as previously indicated. This is because the zinc coating process for black is not perfect and can result in a slightly tarnished finish. An executive decision was made to get these done sooner with the better finish than to bugger around trying to get the black finish perfect.

And this is what they look like assembled

Terry's work is far better than the prototype that was supplied. For starters the end pieces are not just welded. The large section is notched and dowl pinned, and the small piece has a ball end at the T piece so that it fits together and is then welded. See illustration below.

The parts have all been heat treated and hardened, and the arms are completely serviceable.

As discussed at some length, the fixing system now uses a cotter pin instead of a grub screw. For those that were as confused as I was, the advantage with a cotter pin is that it is a tapered thread with a nut so that it positively fixes into place and cannot come loose. The picture below shows where the grup screw was used (see red circle) in the original design.

See below for an illustration of how the cotter pin is used in the new arms. Have to stress this is not a brand new design, it's an improvement on the what Terry was originally working with.

So what's the holdup? As I mentioned before the cotter pin is tapered, so you have to drill the tapered hole before you make the pin. At the moment the guys are waiting for the tooling to turn up so that they can drill and make the pins. The remaining labour is minimal, as in less than a day to finish the set. As soon as the tool turns up we are all good to assemble.

im sure they will make a few extra but you may have to wait

No Probs, I'll keep my eye on this thread and please PM me if possible if there is a set for me. I will transfer the funds strait away.

I've been actively watching and posting on this thread from day one I didn't pay a deposit as I thought we where waiting for responces for construction turn around times Fatz are all orders been taken already or can we now place orders and pay a holding deposit?.

Hey guys, I have had a buyer pull out on AUS300. If anyone wants to buy his order you will need to pay $197.50 deposit.

Drop me a PM, first in first served...

DSTROY has got these, was first in with the PM by roughly two hours.

There is already a second run in the pipeline that will be much smoother as tooling etc will already be in place. There is enough material to make another 30 arms but need to get the first batch out the door first.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
