I took these videos in Milton today at Mohawk Racetrack. It was a charrity slalom for the Milton Safe Streets campaign. The car is a 72 (I think?) Datsu 240Z with RB26 swap. It has no revlimiter, hence all the valve float. I’ve driven the car and can attest to how hard it is to drive. vs Subaru Wagon: [http://youtube.com/watch?v=l4q8p9tSmDY](http://youtube.com/watch?v=l4q8p9tSmDY) vs VW Scirocco: [http://youtube.com/watch?v=C-YKDi0xuMw](http://youtube.com/watch?v=C-YKDi0xuMw) BTW if you live in the area and are interested in slalom there is a provincial championship event on Sunday, May 13th that is open to the public. It’s at Mohawk Racetrack on Guelph Line, just north of the 401. ---

You can get lists of most of the events in ontario from the official region autoslalom site here: [http://solo2.casc.on.ca/schedule/schedule.php](http://solo2.casc.on.ca/schedule/schedule.php) More will be added for WOSCA in Sarnia for later in the year. Otherwise I think all the clubs that submit schedules to that site have already done so. ---

Hell, people have paid close to $20K for a ‘clean’ one. A stock 240Z vs S14 is a laugh. I really don’t think that’s valve float. It’s tough to float a mechanical valvetrain, and the GTR has a very good valvetrain good to 9,000+ rpm If it’s floating valves it’s not shimmed properly. It is a lot of money to be just as quick as a stock 120hp Subaru wagon though. ---

Its autocross tho…your S14 would get smoked by a stock civic or miata. ---

No it was valve float. The car doesn’t have a rev limiter and when he got home that evening he found out his tach was reading 1000rpm low. Another competitor showed him how to set up the revlimiter in his stand alone and he had the tach fixed for the Sunday event. ---
