Great DIY! Thanks!

You could always donate it to SAU. What a beautiful car, I'd be scared to drive it.

Great intro! Theres a lot of people here who will relate to a lot of your post; Gran Turismo, Just Jap opening, Exvitermini (GTR700 and his Supra), getting an R33 Gtst for 25k (Got mine for 23k when i was 21 and paid > $3k insurance). Very cool memories. I'm looking forward to seeing more pics of both cars, in particular those 400R seats. And then, more pics during the build process. Welcome to SAU!

Thread closed.

This seems like a dupe. Closing this one as the other one has more info and pics.

Can you try again for me? I just tried now successfully.

Yes! This looks awesome! You'll get a lot of info on here. I'm looking forward to reading the updates!

Nice! Thanks for this!

Hi and welcome to the site! That looks like an OEM kit on that GTR unless i'm missing something?

OK, it looks like you need to put the topic title in, not the URL.

Looking into this. Sorry I missed it. @MB38 has he responded yet?

On my way back up the coast on Sunday I was overtaken by an SAU'er in a Patrol! Was chuffed.

Whats it like to drive with a welded diff What a stupid video.

Cygnett Magnetic Vent Mount 5 / 5 stars After having a less than optimal experience with the Cygnett MagMount 360 I was given a Magnetic Vent Mount by Cygnett to try. TL;DR - This is a brilliant phone mount. Go and buy one. I have tried cheap vent mounts before and they barely hold on to the vent before you even attach your phone. I was nervous that this would be similar. I was very wrong. In fact, my first go at attaching the base to the vent caught me out; I thought I'd don't something wrong because it was so firm. It has no lateral movement at all. The mount base has a little button that pries the spring-loaded clamp apart so you can put it on and off. The best part about this is that you can very easily take it with you and it will mount just as securely to any car you get in. NOTE some cars do have different gaps between their vent shutters. Our Passat has very little gap between the shutters and so I made sure I could put it on there. I could, perfectly. It was also mounted to the Bora and a Mazda 3 with no issues at all. You will likely lose the ability to move the vent shutters on the vent being used. This is the same across any vent mounts and not a Cygnett problem. If you need the vents pointing at you when driving you may wish to rethink a vent mount. The mount comes with some sticky magnets for the back of your phone or phone case. You can also slide a larger magnet in between your phone and its case, which also works well (this is what we've done on my wife's phone). I did find that my Samsun wireless charging either doesn't work at all or gets dangerously hot when using these stick-on magnet pads. I've had to cease using it until I find an answer - this is not a Cygnett problem, this is a problem with all magnet based mounts. Driving with the mount is fine. At no stage does my phone (Galaxy S6) or my wifes phone (HTC One) look unstable or like they will fall. They are secure while driving and firm enough to change tracks or re-centre Google if needed. This is my new favourite mount. Well done Cygnett.

Oh man, so nice. Looks mint!

Thats what the Cygnett one looks like. But, it refuses to stick on anything. Hopefully @Sophie from Cygnett has some insight.

So, unfortunately, my replacement from @Sophie from Cygnett did the same thing as the first one. I cleaned all surfaces before this. I didn't clean with anything oily like Armour All. I tried it ONLY in my Mazda as the dash is all hard plastic (as opposed to my VW's that have leather/pleather dashboards). Even the very smooth dash plastic on the Mazda would not stick to the mount. I held the mount in place for over a minute on each one (and changed the sticky pad between tests) and neither provided much stability at all. The top of the dash held the best but I couldn't remove my phone from the mount without pulling it off. I reckon it'd work if I used some Sugru, but then it'd be hard to get Sugru off the plastic. @Sophie from Cygnett I just do not understand how you got yours to be as strong as that. I just had no indication of it being even remotely stable during these tests. Note that the air vent mount was properly good and I'll write that review shortly.

Welcome to SAU!

Hey Morne, welcome to the site. You might want to start a build thread if you plan on modifying it. Otherwise, enjoy the site and all its resources! :welcome:

Oh great, the new one might break it!

Hey @Hadouken in a few hours a new Android version will be available. Can you let me know after you've updated if the problem is fixed?

Hmmm, how odd. Looking into it now @Hadouken.

No. While I've never tested this, as has been already said the bonnet is different, but so are the headlights. You could pick up an OEM series 2 grille for bugger all if you wanted to test.

That ad is brilliant. Wish I could understand it.

I'd love to give it a go, that'd be fantastic! Yeah its not the apps so much as the dongle. Torque works with it but needs specialised dongles.
