Would I be happy with 370Z

Mookie

Mods already planned:

Lower it, mild drop
FI long tube headers, high flow cats and FI exhaust
CarbonSignal fenders
Spacers but stick with stock rims

Down the road:
AP 6/4 BBK
GTM S/C

Long Tube Headers eliminate the cats

My opinion would be, since your going to be modding, only base buying the nismo off of its looks (which most do already). The big debate seems to be is the nismo worth the cost. To me, when you add up the cost of the rims alone, plus body work, its a good choice to buy it and its worth it

If you dont care about the looks and only care about modding, then dont get the nismo...

You're gonna want a real rear diff too, i think.
You can't run lth's and hfc's.

Things I'd consider coming from an e46:
Trans feel --not as smooth as e46 trans
Engine sound--gets rough up top
Chassis dynamic--z feels stiffer, tad more understeer though
