Since you're happy to mod, and you're already planning to replace some of the NISMO upgrades, I'm inclined to agree with others who suggested that you might be better off to skip buying the NISMO. It's basically a base model with perf upgrades, and you can probably save $10k by buying a base and upgrading the bits separately. Unless you're really tied to the NISMO aerodynamics and wheels -- personally I think they make the look of the car, and didn't want to deal with replacing them with after market stuff, so I stuck with the NISMO.
I not actually looking to replace the NISMO stock parts; I just want to close the fender gap some with springs. Like you, I'm in love with the NISMO aerodynamics, wheels, and additional power and I don't think I would want the Z any other way. Maybe it's trivial, but coming from a GT-R I feel I have to have something somewhat exclusive/limited.

How large is the fender gap on the NISMO? 2 inches?
