please make sure to read the Stickys. the first one in the Performance/Tech forum is this very detailed writeup on intercoolers for the z32.

I've heard that the stillen piece is the best bang-for- buck.
And as Zlover stated in thread he wrote(props), that it mighte be the better route. Although... Having HKS is sexy

HKS is a little over rated, they make great exhausts though. honestly, stillen or even ash'es but those are huge, go stillen side mounts. and that is a great write up by zlover

dont need one, you can duct them, but it would be an awesome opportunity to go to a 99 jspec front, but zlover is using the stock front end and the stillen sidemounts. and search on here or maybe twinturbo.net about the turnsignal thing.
