Who makes those smooth intake tubes?
Cobb did for awhile but they stopped when they gave up on the Z platform. Not 100% sure anyone has taken it over actually, I know a few vendors have some in stock still as left overs.

Yes, I have been tuned twice with Uprev.
Once NA, the other with my SC. They are your best bet in terms of 'tuning' your car for more power, but I view it as more of keeping your car in check. If you just do HFC/exhaust I would not be overly concerned with a tune unless your car feels off.

I agree with the drop-ins recommendation given your plans for FI down the road. HFC and CBE would also be a good call - 2nd the recommendation that you could sell the CBE after a few years.

Put the rest into handling mods and/or aftermarket clutch.

Ok, so you would recommend the Osiris over a Cobb?

Don't waste ur money for bolts on, trust me its just a waste of money

you will end up paying 4k, and with this 4k you're pretty close for SC kit from GTM

Some ppl prefer bolts on (i was one of them) and some ppl save money to buy FI kit.

its your choice.

Look for a 4.08 differental, It will really wake your car up.
You should save your money and go for a GTM stage 1 SC,'
120 to 130 rwhp again vs 42 to 46 rwhp.from the bolt on's and your going to have to get your car tuned (Uprev). That will be a few more $.

I see your point, however every performance shop I have spoken to says go TT over SC. That being the case I will do upgrades that can carry over to the Turbo. Save my money for 3 years then have Forged drop a TT in my car, one along the lines of Godzilla. 2009 Nissan 370Z and 2009 Nissan GT-R - Modified Magazine

at 12psi
518rwhp
450wtq

That is a lot more powerful then a SC!!!

I most definitely want to upgrade my rear differential. I was thinking either a 3.73 or a 4.08.

It really sucks these are not available options on the Nismo from the factory.
