IMO, unless you love the body kit for the Nismo there are not really any significant advantages over the regular Z. Contrary to popular belief, it is not faster, line them up and it is a drivers race. If the Nismo had a track ready oil cooler or other material changes we'd be talking.

Get a regular Z with the touring and sport package, the sport package being a mandatory got to have. You will get the vlsd, bigger brakes (same as nismo), Ray wheels (awesome!), synchro rev (also awesome!) front and rear spoilers for zero lift and splash guards. The touring package will give you leather, power seats, stereo upgrade and navi.

The Nismo is Nissan's way of selling exclusivity, but there is nothing exclusive about being just as fast as a regular Z or getting beat by a regular Z that has removed the stock cats. Put the savings toward your TT kit. Hell buy a regular Z and throw in my Long Tube Headers (cheap plug but I'm local) and you will out run a Nismo. They weigh more too, never understood that part.
