In Apple's defence, I wouldnt like to be the techies that have to look after the update servers. I would hazzard a guess their peak connection rate is second to no other server(s) out there. When else do that many people try to connect at exactly the same time? But it does reiterate my point about them capping connections. The update itself is quite quick, the one this morning took no longer than half an hour from start of download to backup to being restored and functional. However last night it took an age as the server was so busy, and you can resume part way through, so if you fail during download, you have to redownload. Or more annoyingly, if you fail during validation, you have to redownload, backup and validate again all which takes about 15 mins at least!

You do have the new version of iTunes dont you? Should be automatic, showed up in my iTunes at ~6:15pm last night

Should be fine this morning Al. The last of our iPhones was done this morning and went through A-ok first time. Cant see any major differences in iOS5 TBH, not like night and day with iOS4 is it. Some nice new features, but nothing that I expect a major version upgrade to achieve other than new wireless updates and sync'ing. But Wifi is so slow for that kind of thing I think I will stick to using the cable.

Hope this serves a a pertinent warning to all members running 95RON fuel other than in an emergency (and mixed with higher grade). If you want to run 95RON and not get det, you need to get it UpRev'd! On that basis Mark, does that mean when you map for 95RON, you wind back the timing to start with to keep it safe before advancing it to a level just before you get det?

So in relation to the other threads currently hot on the topic of running 95RON in a stock car - this shows that the car will get det if you rev it above 5k RPM on 95RON fuel

Equally Tesco 99 is fine. Ran it in my 350z for about 70k miles with no problems what so ever. Never had the problem BM saw with cloudy fuel when I filled up my bike either.

Plus iCloud has been around for years - its just MobileMe rebranded Cloud should be more than safe enough, its the people using it that need to be careful with what they do with it. Just please dont rely on it as your only backup solution

True, but if you're Apple you can either spend another $10M on some more server space for one day, or just accept that the early adopters (myself included!) are just going to have a little whinge for an hour or so and then start raving about how good iOS5 is, and when the dust settles 24 hours in no-one will have an issue at all. It's sound business sense, and I can totally understand their point of view. The problems was Apple let far too many people onto the server at once. They dont need the server capacity to handle everyone at once. but they need some kind of quality of service set up on it and limit connections so those that are connected get a good experienece. If it said when you started "We're sorry the servers are busy, try again later", and then when you are on it you can download at a decent rate then thats fine. The problem I found yesterday is I did the iPad at about 6:15pm and it flew through. I tried the iPhone after that, when the servers were then obviously loaded, and it took me a further 2hrs to download. Thats just @*!# server configuration I'm afraid. They should stress test the servers, decide on a cap on the number of connections and when the reach it dont let more people on. Needless to say both my iPad (1) and iPhone (3GS) both went through without a hitch once it got past the point it required the Apple servers.

See the 2 blown engine thread - the quotes from the owners manuals are pretty definitive

Dont see why they shouldnt be PS'd myself. Not really sure you can make a crap photo good using it, you can just make it better. And if you have the skills then why not

BOOM TSH

Pretty sure it tells you to run 98+ unless in emergencies then you can use 95. As Mark has pointed out countless times, it goes into high det map when you run 95RON which looses you power, but the assumption was this would also stop you engine destroying itself. If it doesnt stop it then this high det map cant be relied upon and everyone should most definately be using 98+ . However there are quite a few people who have run 95 for a long time. Dont know if they are just lucky or what.

Stock map doesnt look happy on 95RON when you get upto 5k RPM does it, looks to go a but haywire. Is that it winding back the timing for knock?

I'm hoping all these stories of engines going bang isnt down to running normal unleaded as theres a lot of people out there that do. I assume you both checked and topped up the oil regularly?

Erm... no better not

It really is the only way to make it fair. Otherwise its just a case of who can throw the most money at it. I mean Alex would just come down from Scotland and wipe the floor with everyone if it was an open modified race

The problem is its very hard to tell the difference going from 95RON to Super. What you can feel much more easily is going from Super to 95RON. I find that if you put crap fuel in you can tell within a few miles something isnt happy. I urge anyone on 95RON to run Super for a few tanks (say 3-4 for adjustment) then try 95RON again and you will feel the difference.

Not that I know of. I dont use high beam often enough for it to annoy me, and you get used to the lock symbol eventually - well being the driver you do!

I think its ~1600kg. I seem to remember my coupe was about that on the weighbridge when I had her done. I'll see if I can find the slip at home.

This. It even says so in the filler cap

Its a better investment than a wedding and will cost you a lot less in the long run... Cant argue with that

Got a wedding to save for - and given my undertray is perfectly fine atm, I dont have any kind of excuse to buy it

Maybe a US member can order it and let us know - someone post it on my350z.com

Should have kept my old 350z, wonder if its for sale somewhere hmmmm
