Again I'm still just putting my foot in the door. Don't know where I want to end up but definitely going to learn how to drive it at its current power before I add more ha

You are on the right path wanting to learn with what it comes with.
No ITB yet, and might never see them as this is a small platform to develop for & most companies go for the big tickets items and stop.

SC is still going to run you $10k to jump in, a bad day with the kit might set you back $5k but still with boost you will always want to have plenty of reserve. I would jump down the FI section and read through all the stickies and long term reports people have.

My final piece of advice, if you want boost, plan now for it. Look at what items you may want to upgrade & if it will help or hurt if you have a TT/T/SC kit in the future.

Congrats on the new car. Very nice!

Like others have said, your stated whp goal isn't achievable unless you go FI. Plan to drop anywhere from $10k - $15k to do it the right way with the supporting mods.
You also need the "my motor just blew up" fund available just in case.

If that is too steep for you, a bolt-on and tuned N\A car will get you anywhere from 320-335whp and will cost much less. It'll be very fun to drive and have a nice flat powerband.

Good luck and be safe!

Supercharged you are looking more in the neighborhood of $5k-$10k still with supporting mods.

And yeah learning to drive the car at the power it already has is a smart first move. In the end you may not want to put a TT or SC, it all depends. I honestly think a TT kit would be more beneficial to a Z just to get a faster start off the line in AutoX or track

This is only needed if you decide you want to go ahead and boost the car. It shouldn't be blowing up if you aren't pushing it to the 500whp+ that a turbo kit would.

I will say this: "Track" ready
Yes the Nismo has a slightly stiffer/rigid suspension setup but many find it to be a minor improvement over the standard coupe suspension. On track ready in other areas, you will need to look at better fluid/pads for a track.

Yeah that fund would definetly be something to just have on the side haha. There is nothing but time, you wait to upgrade until you want or have the money haha

Its what I am having to do with mine, save up to acctually invest into the car more. I already went through my first set of mods though.

Most people would say swap your brake pads over to something more up to the duty as the stockers will likely fade. Also, need to upgrade the stock fluid to Motul RBF600 for brakes and clutch. That will prevent the stock fluid from boiling over after a few sessions.

An aftermarket oil cooler is a must, especially with you being in Texas.

The car isn't 100% track ready from the factory, I'm not sure of many cars that are. A few minor upgrades will make it that much more enjoyable though.

My model is the touring sport model originally but since I started with the OEM nismo parts, I call it more of a Touring Nismo, especially since my next investment is the OEM nismo exhaust.

Right now I have installed the OEM Nismo Air Intakes, Black XXR Racing wheels(rims) deep dish wheels on the back, sitting on nexen tires and an Eibach suspension system. I blacked out the decals too, Both Nissan Emblems and the 370z on the back left.

The bose sound system came with the touring sport package that I got
