Sung Kang, better known to all of us as Han from the Fast Furious franchise, was perfectly suited for his role in those movies because, unbeknownst to most people, he’s actually a pretty hardcore car guy in real life. That much was evident when he recently paid a visit to Jay Leno’s Garage 
to show off his resto-modded 1973 Datsun 240Z, which he proudly calls the Fugu Z.
Origin of the name notwithstanding, the story of Kang’s 240Z is incredibly fascinating. He scooped it up on Craigslist, thinking that it would be a cool project he could do with some of his car-loving buddies. The project escalated pretty quickly and soon enough, fellow car enthusiasts from all over the world began assisting Kang and his crew on the build. At some point, Greddy even got in on the fun and helped Kang turn the 240Z into a bonafide, wide-bodied track car that’s powered by a naturally aspirated RB26 inline-six engine sourced from a 1994 Nissan GT-R. Yep, the turbos were taken off the engine, but if you watch Leno driving it towards the end of the episode, you’re going to understand why Kang opted for a naturally aspirated option.
Nobody could seem to agree on what kind of output it has – 233 and 245 horsepower were being thrown around – but for the most part, everybody, including Leno himself, was in agreement that what initially started as a small-time build turned into what can only be described as a labor for love from Kang, his buddies, and car enthusiasts from all over the world.
