Base and mods or nismo?

Agreed, but there's also another $5-10k that you need to have access to for an "Oh Sh*t" fund. These motors are solid, and a good tune does wonders - but you're boosting a car that came from the factory NA.

OP, you mentioned not doing anything but exhausts in the past. Jumping from there to aftermarket FI might be too much of a step. You need to be able to handle some moderate to advanced wrenching even if you have a shop do the install. Everything gets more complicated and annoying when you've put that much aftermarket stuff on the car.

Honestly, do basic bolt ons, a tune and gears. That'll be a plenty quick car and you'll have a lot of leftover cash for suspension and cosmetics.
