Best thing you can do is service the engine.
Dont get a cold air intake, stock airboxes are dyno proven to make more power than a dodgy pod filter sucking in engine bay heat.
Diff gears to 3.9 or 4.11, get em from the wreckers out of a skyline or pintara
Convert to manual, NA manuals go so much better than NA autos
Echaust like sweeny said but not too big
Anything more is a waste of money

Not even a "BT1 Chip" will give you more power. You really are better off saving your money (even if it's only a hundred or so).

Punch a hole in the bonnet and run a poddy straight off the inlet upwards... best cold air induction

Nah mate... I got this s**t
But seriously, exhaust/extractors and keep it clean and well maintained is the way to go for sure. As well as suspension mods... VLs need those. :|

When I brought the VL calais turbo it had a cold air intake. They had a hole inserted below the air box with a pipe running down & towards the front bumper in the gaps/fin part of the bumper. Don't know if it made much difference but I noticed more of a difference when I placed a pod filter on.
