As I'm sure a lot of you know, WADRIFT Round 1 was on at Barbagallo Raceway this weekend. It was a great day of drifting, even though we had a little bit of rain later in the day and as usual Steve and I were out in the sun shooting photos and video.

I've just finished putting the photos up and Steve will be working on the video editing through the week, though no promises on when it'll be done.

As always, all photos are available as prints or high resolution digitals and we've got additional photos of most cars that didn't "make the cut" if you're interested.

Prints are available anywhere from 6x4" right up to 30x48", so if you're interested you can email us at [email protected] - we're still working on putting together a full online ordering system at the moment, so email is the way to go!

You can see the full gallery here, but here are some highlights:

Oh great stuff, glad you like them!

I should really make the effort to come along to some more events, it's been ages since I've done anything with SAUWA! :(

Levi those are some awesome shots, I was there on sunday also. It was a great day until the rain came down... must say I got rather wet. :mrt: Ive recently gotten my hands on a dslr and had a go at some of the motion blur shot.... I have a long way to go to get anywhere near shots like yours :D

Hi Levi, Driver Training on the 31st, come along :ninja:

I'll try my best to come down and shoot a few pics, maybe even do a video.

will be getting in touch with you about the 3 photo battle sequence you got of me against my team mate

Great, just let me know your car numbers and I'll dig up any of the shots I have.

I didn't think the rain would last very long, so I stood there trying to wait it out. Needless to say, both my camera and I got very wet. Thank god for weather sealing! ;)

For the panning shots, get a decently long lens (150mm or more) set your camera to Tv (shutter speed priority mode) then set your shutter speed to somewhere around 1/150th of a second. Set your cameras focusing mode to continuous/sports/servo and then as the cars drive past, pick a spot on the car (I usually use a headlight or door mirror) and try to pan with the car keeping a focus point over that part of the car. Then, pick and choose your shots (don't just machine gun for the whole pass or your camera will probably struggle to get good focus and you'll find it hard to track the motion smoothly).

When I'm feeling brave (or I'm using a lens with IS) I'll go as far as 1/60th of a second, but usually I find myself hanging around 1/100th.

Mrs has a 1D, what lens would you recommend for motorsport?

Depends on your budget, but the 70-200mm f/4L IS is great for motorsports (image stabilization makes things much easier). if you're looking for a little more reach, try the 300mm f/4L IS or 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS.

The mrs has a "raincoat" for her camera, she tried using it to protect against paint spray but it's too hot in summer so she only pulls it out when it's going to rain.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
