John Lau<\/a> debuted his 1971 Datsun 240Z (S30) called “Devil Z” in the ENEOS<\/a> booth at SEMA 2024. <\/p>\n

Power is generated by a turbocharged 3.0 L L28 inline-six. It features forged 87 mm pistons, forged steel H-beam rods, ported P90 head, custom Isky camshaft, Schneider Performance valve springs, and billet intake manifold. Boost is generated by a Garrett G35-900 turbocharger paired with a Turbosmart WG45 GenV Hyper-Gate wastegate and Pro TunerZ exhaust manifold.<\/p>\n

\"1971<\/a><\/p>\n

The motor runs on E85 fuel fed by Injector Dynamics 1340 cc injectors and two Walbro 525 pumps in the fuel cell. Everything is controlled by a Haltech Elite 2500 ECU through a Turbohoses Mil-spec wiring harness. Behind the motor is a Nissan CD009 six-speed manual transmission with a Jim Wolf Technology HD clutch and Ford Super 8.8-inch rear end. <\/p>\n

\"1971<\/a><\/p>\n

John improved the car’s handling thanks to Apex Engineered<\/a> front and rear suspension. The frame was reinforced with diagonal braces and differential cradle. Braking is handled by custom four-piston calipers with 340 mm carbon-ceramic rotors on each corner. <\/p>\n

\"1971<\/a><\/p>\n

\"1971<\/a><\/p>\n

Jon Sibal<\/a> designed the widebody. Supreme Auto Body<\/a> assembled and covered the body in Porsche PTS San Marino Blue Metallic paint. The body also features a carbon fiber hood and Skillard custom front splitter and rear diffuser. Jon completed the look with Work Meister M1 wheels (17×11.5, 18×13) and Toyo Proxes R888R tires (275\/40, 315\/30).<\/p>\n

\"1971<\/a><\/p>\n

In the interior John installed a set of Recaro GT seats with Sabelt 4-point harnesses beside a custom center console. Behind the seats are a Dynamic AutoWorks roll bar<\/a>. A set of custom Speedhut gauges sit behind a Momo Blackline Series steering wheel.<\/p>\n
