Cold Air

does anyone know where I can get my hands on, or get my air intake re-done with lots of shiny piping and stuff?

Sure, find bright shiney stuff on ebay then take it to any shop. Else go to a place like Trojan who might have some gear lying around.

Me, I prefer to get something that would help the performance over just looking bling.

If you want competition level bling, not sure there is a place in Canberra.

I wrote that badly. I'm not after bling, rather performance

So, you are looking for someone to do aftermarket, larger intercooler and intake piping?

[Vera]

No intercooler, non Turbo. That pretty much sums it up

Leave stock and wait till u upgrade mate.

A non turbo skyline wanting some upgrades with a bit of wow factor....

Short of bolting on a turbo, I can't think of much that would help. Sure an after market computer and exhust would help a little bit, but it would only be a very little and at big cost. It is a lot like the guys with an Falcon xr6 who want more power, new computer and new exhust from the headers back will get you like an extra 20kw and a "modified" 180rwkw car after a $3000 bill. Or just sell the N/A buy the turbo for the $3000 difference and get a "stock" 210rwkw.

It sounds harsh but don't waste time and money on a car that is never going to have the performance of a normal next level up car. Look at what power you want to be making (or other aim) without rebuilding the entire engine GTS (200kw?) < GTS-T (250kw)< GTR (300kw). Make a choice on what your aims are and purchase for that aim.

As you said on your first post, and being as your car is a N/A, making the car look nice at a reasonable price is probably all you can do. I.e go ahead and add some not over-the-top bling. Then save up for a car that has real performance. GTS-T if you are on a budget, GTR is you have an additional $10K after the purchase price to maintain it.
