If you do the kit alone with a 6psi tune, you wouldn't have to upgrade the clutch, and rear end(service/nismo cover).

Most people that do max tunes spend the extra money cause we don't want to do something twice later on.

10k should be a doable number if all you want is the kit nothing more. Only two things are a must have is a ATF gauge, fuel pump, and tune IMO.

Must haves to me:
T-85 trans fluid
Mobile One, Redline, Motuel engine oil
Gilken OS clutch
Nismo rear end cover with extend vent with Redline 75w90
Boost controller/ATF gauge
GTR plugs

Just a few extras that you honestly don't need, but makes me more comfortable when i'm in boost.

If the OP is going for a DD, then all of the things that you mentioned are great. I turbo'd my car at roughly 25k (Greddy Kit) and DD it. She never saw any track duty, but I attended ZDayZ '13 and attended most of the local meets (which ended up with a "spirited" drive). I agree with the Fast Intentions TT Kit recomendation (if it were available when I pulled the trigger, that is what I would have).

If that car is going to be in an environment that gets sweltering hot like Texas:

- leave Mobile One out because it tends to break down quickly. I used Motul 5w40 in the summer and 5w30 in the winter
- when I used GT-R plugs they pretty much died quickly and I went to HKS plugs and never looked back (expensive in comparison)
- I went with fuel pressure over air fuel ratio. If your tune is solid, it is something that you won't need to watch
- CSF still makes the best radiator upgrade for the Z, don't give in to Mishimoto (read up on them and you will see)
- (not related to environment) get the upgraded motor mounts (I had Z1 solid, but they also have urethane), it will save you a lot of heartache in the future
- I never could find a NISMO diff cover so I just did fluid changes more often and the VLSD was good to go with 62k on the clock
- never skimp in maintenance, as this is the key to your TTZ's longevity
