Figured it was worth a shot.

On a side note, my truck exhaust is postponed due to the proper parts not being found until yesterday. Gonna drop off the truck while I'm at work and have them finish it. The contest will still go on but with a later completion date. That is all

I Thaid good day! Lol

Actually the GTR is the Skyline - in Japan it's still called the Skyline, but on this side of hte pond, the name was changed...

Lemme google to this to confirm.

(Nice, for some reason CSS logged me out!?)

wait a second - I was right;

Nissan GT-R - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It appears as though Nissan has made the Skyline morph into two disinct vehicles post the R34 Skyline.
The Skyline started out as a four door car, something I knew previously;
from my quick read it appears as though it has been built virtually continuous from 1955 to date - but hte GT-R ~ The only one in my book worth mentioning was a special version based on the Skyline, but only offered for the following years;
Skyline GT-R
C10 1969-1972
C110 1972-1973
R32 1989-1994(?)
R33 1996(?)-1998
R34 1999-2002

The Skyline did continue to become known in North America as the Infinity G35, which has the same underpinnings as the 350Z (and presumably the subsiquent 370Z)...
Then also became the Infinity G37...
But it seems as though Nissan made a decided effort to depart the GT-R from the Skyline marque post 2002 ~ to make it re-appear as it's own car... and an awesome one at that.

Nissan Skyline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Since the 'GT-R' moniker is the only one worth mentioning, who cares what's currently being called a Skyline?

There is no current skyline. When Nissan stop making the skyline in 2002 that was the last skyline ever made. The new one is just a GT-R since there is no n/a driven model like the skylines. Wikipedia isn't a good resource in my opinion as anyone can add information as they see fit. The last skyline was the R34 model

wikipedia might not always be nuts-on, but it is a good resource IMHO;
The 11th-generation Skyline (V35) was another major turning point for the nameplate, as it dropped some of the Skyline's trademark characteristics such as the straight-6 engine and turbocharging, eventually separated the GT-R into its own line, and moved to V6-engined era, this decision which extended to all later Skylines. Nissan decided to retain the Skyline for the luxury-sport market, while its platform-mate, the 350Z, revived the Z line of pure sports cars.[5] The V35 was the first Skyline made for export to North America, being sold under Nissan's luxury marque Infiniti as the G35. The Skyline (V36/J50) is sold in Europe, North America, South Korea, Taiwan, and the Middle East as the Infiniti G37.

Down pipes already have the cats in them. Pretty sure he's a troll if he's only got 4 posts lol

But to answer the question, a downpipe for a manual will not fit and automatic but the manifold will work

Where are you at these days?

Working up north, at the family farm, or down in my neck of the woods?

Up north now. Down at the farm this time of year visiting people and moving vehicles around.

Those are just G35's and 37's to me
