After reading a whole bunch of comments i would like to add this: Do you your research and you will discover that the iphone 5 is an S3 with apple stickers on it. Apple paid samsung to use their internals. Not to mention that the new screen technology is also owned by samsung. I'm not an Apple hater by all means but a company that sues another company because "If you squint and look from this angle it kind of looks like our product". Apple have the same issue many different companies are falling into. Same shit different smell. They don't innovate anymore. They match the current best product on the market, slap their OS on it and go "ours is better buy it" and people do. Also if you have been following apple/the news lately you will see that last week their shares droped 20% in one week. I think that shows that people are getting sick of the same thing over and over. Apple was dead when steve resigned.

iPhone 5 isn't quite S3 with Apple stickers, but thats almost what I was looking for: a S3 that was smaller, but didn't sacrifice power.

Processor in the new iPhone is a custom Apple design manufactured by Samsung, not a Samsung processor. Screens were all Samsung, now I think Samsung have been cut back, and its mostly LG and Sharp supplying screens.

All these wankers who think their iPhone is better than all the other phones are deluded. But they're pretty much a copycat of everything else now, which is scary. After years of offering phones that were based on 2-3 year old hardware, they've finally made something current. Imagine if they keep this up and do finally make something better?

Or maybe Samsung et al could realise that not everyone after a good, powerful phone wants a 5" screen, and start making smaller phones that don't suck more than Lindsay Lohan.

Yeah, I really can't go back to a smaller screen after having an S3. The size isn't even a problem 99% of the time. Plus, it's waaaay better for reading/browsing as you don't have to zoom as much, and you can hold the phone a reasonable distance from your face without squinting.

Seriously, phones have gone this way for a reason. Our needs are changing.

Battery life is horse shit however.

Thats fine, but my point is that not everyone needs the bigger screen. I have a tablet, why do I need a phone with a big screen as well?

Surely smaller screens need less power too?

the s3 has a small screen compared to the note2...

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
