RB25DET NEO powered Skillard Datsun 280Z

The Zaddy is back at it again with another dope Z feature. Larry Chen found a very custom and very clean 280Z built by the guys over at Skillard. Not only is it powered by a Nissan Skyline RB25DET but every panel and bumper on this car has been given the special Skillard touch. Custom bumpers, louvers, diffuser and interior panels have all been converted to Skillard custom fabricated parts. If you have a Z or love Zs, this is definitely a car you will appreciate, enjoy!

Man just like Larry was saying, this cars style is hard to define. I love it in so many ways. First thing that pops in my head is OEM SkillSpec. OEM in its style but done better by a Skilled Specialist. I feel like any car would be lucky to have a guy like him get ahold of it. Some much potential it could open up for any car community, especially older cars that are lacking in attainable parts. I want to buy him some cars just to see what magic he could provide for the chassis. Thank you Larry for introducing me to this amazing fabricator

[@TheFelepeno]

Knew this car as soon as I saw the thumbnail. Huge props to Skillard for making some seriously great parts for my old girl.

[@Treaxvour]

I would describe it as sleek, smooth, simple, and clean.

[@justis_4_all]

Love all the Z content! Keep pumping it out!

[@solanod12]

That RB2525DET Neo is a goal!

[@JaredR1996]

That Datsun looking fresh 🔥🔥🔥

[@DJ_NOOB]

Beautiful build! This for me is the perfect Z looks wise. Pretty much exactly how I'd want it. Love the parts Skillard's put together. I really liked his comments about making install videos and having them be empowering. Very cool.

[@hatchbackhound]

Skillard makes great stuff.. filled them for a wile now

[@dattepo7534]

Can he make stuff for the 620? That floor pan idea is great .. and the dash block offs

[@JohnKonye]

you should take all of your sexy B-Roll footage and doa compilation with Non-Copyright music over it (frome whatever service you use). Make it like 1 hour... would be an awesome thing to work too or wrench with.

[@kenneki_chan3343]

Love everything but the bumper

[@anhiirr]

need to get the 50th annie running and on the road.

[@pistons_n_pizza]

I wanna do what this dude does 👍👍👍👍

[@katran_2393]

Να (εχει) Ζ κανεις, ή να μην (εχει) Ζ

[@Blaqs1]

More Z Stuff, Yay! *sarcastic tone 😐🙄

[@_blinkerfluid]

Dude from skillard is such a great person to the Z community. So much love man. THANK YOU🤧💕

[@betopistolas4644]

I'm guessing this will be another episode of Larry talking about his own Z 😂

[@redknights2007]

No matter how many different cars I see. I still think a modernized 280z is the sexiest thing on the road.

[@Ghstn]

One of my favorite companies in the Z game, got me going crazy for my zx build, sick vid and happy for the boys skillard ftw! 🤟🏼

[@tinystar3010]

When I first saw the thumbnail and title, I thought this was Larry showcasing MightyCarMod's 240z that Moog built. It looks nearly identical at a first glance. And same motor swap.

[@bigtym]

Moog has an RB26 GTR engine.

[@dvinirazeh583]

Yes but the mcm Z looks sooo much better in my opinion.

[@charlesstine1952]

Been buying stuff and talking with Ben for several years now, such a great guy. as always nice video larry!

[@Mighty_Marty]

Cool build. 👊🏼🐒✨💨
I'd call the style something like "retro-tuner" or around those lines.

[@Dan_AYP]

These things NA sound amazing 👌 kinda wish it was but the det is cool all the same

[@em2attic]

One of the very few cars produced that actually came with a factory louver option. Louvers on new cars is a disgusting crime.

[@DEZ1172]

Great build ,looks and sounds amazing to and some really well thought out products for the "Z" community , how big is Larry's shopping list ? 👌👍❤

[@bretta3]

I love the louvers and the spoiler, however, the louvers cancel out any downforce the spoiler might provide.

[@rayjon237]

ok Larry you are costing me money, my 240 will have some Skillard stuff on it soon..

[@123divad]

Class engineering and fab work great job

[@DavelyDriven]

Translate to English

[@initialspeed]

This one is up their with street banditos . my top 10 for sure

[@chefjono]

So many ways to mod a Z. What is it about Datsun owners that we love to f around with the build so much?

[@chasegreenbauer7414]

Would the rb25det fit in a 240? Or just the 280?

[@bobbyching6008]

Superduper clean build, love the bed liner paint on the engine bay!

[@jamesytvids]

Ben deserves the attention, bad ass parts!!

[@AlistairLattimore]

All the custom pieces look amazing 🤩

[@offtap6]

Illiminate is doing a build like this.

[@zacklyman2332]

I love this z such a beautiful car.

[@sayedmahdi3379]

Can I get their website please 😬

[@buf0rd]

Beautiful details. Larry, really appreciate the interview.

[@donaldmokgale3123]

I am so blown away what the fuck, incredible build sheeeesh!!!! Larry you need to step your game up man hahaha

[@rikkatheconure2395]

Thank god it’s NOT an LS swap X,D starting to get tired of seeing SO DAMN MANY.

[@timurslabun978]

With respect to the owner of this car, I was owned RB25DET on Nissan Stagea it gives you so much fun. This Datsun is built with soul.

[@pab3783]

So fresh and so clean clean

[@Elhajmalikshabazz]

Salute to Skillard!!!!!

[@winstonpratt604]

L28's sound so beefy outta the 2.5 single exit exhaust especially with a Flowmaster and then you can't forget the Arizona zcar intake with a baby holley carb lol

[@Cars-are-cool-ish]

Simple modernism??

[@da_aloha_z2403]

FINALLY, skillets getting a video about their own car.

[@andrewkoroluk6863]

I'm pretty sure his name is Ben Lillard. That's how all his emails are signed.

[@EJMags]

Skillard needs 280zx install videos asap, I got some parts but they need a little love

[@ShoutingKuyaWill]

Really Cool!!!!

[@uhhhnthony]

Love how Skilliard is supporting the s130 platform.

[@kentbeitel9966]

The sound clip the the beginning sounded like a clip from forza

[@solidsnake3861]

must be nice when you can buy stuff for your car and not make everything like i do eastern europe

[@kamailo99]

beautiful

[@seethruhead7119]

I want to do a treatment like this to me 370z now. Down with plastic interiors

[@tomop5603]

Mighty car mods rb26 240 much nicer

[@ironguy6482]

Ah shit, now I need to make another Z432 in FH4

[@dominicsoto2533]

I have been waiting for Larry to interview Ben. Ben has been so big in the modernization of the Z

[@salsarriba5695]

[@adamwuest3958]

Wowwwww this thing is absolutely gorgeous

[@highlander7462]

I love everything but the spoiler.

[@johnnyr25]

[@CGM350]

Look up MZR roadsports they’re the true Singer of Z’s

[@caralho5237]

[@wrighty338]

[@FORGETYOU8]

Slammed that door a little to hard there Chen 17:28

[@anon1561]

Guess you’ve never closed the door on an s30 lol. That was gentle

[@FORGETYOU8]

@anon1561 I have one I don't slam my car especially someone's else's

[@familyfuncarscrypto9879]

Larry is my hero! Thanks for bringing my dream car to my vision!

[@PooRadley]

Time to get off the Nissan kick. Yawn....

[@NeverLetOff]

I love Z's and I know Larry loves Z's but can we get some other cars, please? Great video regardless!
