Well one of the best events in the championship has been run and won. What a weekend. Perfect weather for both Saturday and Sunday in the Barossa Valley.

Scott Pedder won the heat saturday and then Steve Glenney took out the over all win.

There are some awesome stages on this event as you see from the pics, there are some huge jumps and great water splashes

Neal Bates Motorsport brought out one of the ex wrc Celicas to run as 0 car

Definately agree with Ash. I think those are some of the best I have seen for car filling the lens and action at the same time. You should put the copyright on the pic as you are always generous enough to put it off the object. :D

Just looked at them all again, they really are amazing pics! The ones of the Service Area are superb especially.

I should grab that one of the VII - Mine too could like this with a small amount of air and an ascent!

I think we need to work out how to put a jump on the skidpan so we can get some cool hang time shots.

I wonder how balanced the GTR's would be in the air?? :happy:

Now that would be cool to see a GTR with hang time

hey guys

yeah most of them were taken with D2x and 300mm f2.8 lens

Yep il be at DECA with the same set up, so put on a show on the skid pan for me

Pharrrk!! Nice camera @ 12.4 mega-pixel.

Almost $7k for camera body alone.

I found out today that Navara's are pretty well balanced when they get jumped at 80kph in a paddock... :D:O It landed 4 square after travelling around 2 car lenghts in the air (judging by the untouched grass after the hump that I hit.)

In addition to the Navara jumping....

I found out recently that Landcruisers are pretty good at jumping in paddocks as well *looks at adam*.... You can get some really good air if you are going the right speed over the right size hump, I would suggest it would be much better if you remember to take the trolley jack and golf clubs out of the back though first! And too fast is not cool, the front end lands really hard and digs the bull bar into the ground.

HAHA

Bah - Landcruisers and Navaras...

Sure, Colin has been shoveling his works Nav through the Sahara a bit over the past few years

Until he binned it.

But there is only one true rally champ

Oh, no - wait... this is a better shot

Go team!

BTW - I asked Santa for this 'must have' accessory...

    • Give it 40psi and send it to the moon
    • I suspect 550s are on the large side for happy operation with a stock/Nistune RB20 ECU. The Hitachi ECU doesn't love short pulse width operation, and the RB20 doesn't need much fuel at idle. Big injectors can be unpleasant. This could be contributing.
    • Yeah, I still don't know why the idle speed control can't catch the falling RPMs. In the Consult logs I see the AAC duty cycle rising, but suddenly it goes lean and the engine stalls. Anyways, the relevance here is the DW 550cc injectors are probably the same. So if OP has similar issues I would be tempted to finger those injectors as problematic for whatever reason vs the ECU failing for some reason.
    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
