Supercharge it (find a good mechanic you trust) a good mechanic can build you a supercharger kit for dirt cheap & install it for cartons of cigarettes.
Exhaust.
Nismo V2 kit (or just front)
Nice 19in/20in cheap wheels (TSW Thruxton, Axis blahblah)
Buy some cheap springs

I'd dump it all into a built engine & FI..you'll be the king of the road (most of the time).
There's a reason you saved up a *whole* 13k. The perfect amt for a nice FI system. Afterwards, you just need to spice the exterior up, little by little...
Just check out a few member galleries; the sweetest looking Zs are all FI and have a cosmetic makeover.
I love the $9k TT installed&tuned deal.Then you have 4k to do as you wish; build the engine or get some rims,etc.

ps. i am not looking for someone to tell me to invest it in stocks or a roth ira or some **** like that. this is money i have DEDICATED to my Z. and therefore am going to spend it on it.
these are some of the things id like to get done, however, i know that i can't get all of them because 13 grand won't cover it
-seibon CF hood with Buddy Club 2 body kit
-greddy twin turbo kit with intercooler
-greddy evoTT exhaust or Evo2
-tein flex coilovers w/ UPBM
-tein edfc
-diamond black volk gt-7's 19"
-nismo headers
-air intake
-bride seats with takata harnesses
-2006 tails and dual projector heads
-CF parts (pillars, radiator cover, battery cover, ...)
but what would you guys do??
im looking to make my ride look good, but also give it a little extra then what its already got. id like to get up to 300+ at the wheels...so...if that helps. and i realize the TT kit will obtain that...but idk...
what do you think??

You are at a weird price point. 13k is a decent amount of money as it is way more than you need to do a bunch of n/a mods, rims, and body panels, yet not quite enough if you are looking to do a built tt setup. I believe Forged has a special on a tt Greddy package for around 10k installed and possibly tuned (again not sure and I am certianly not speaking on behalf of them but it might be worth a phone call to them) this should be a 5-7 psi setup good for about 380rwhp on a normal dyno and you would have money left over for gauges, clutch, ect. Of course you would be on a stock block but I believe yours is a revup and you have better connecting rods than us non rev-ups. I say go for the sleeper look and get some power first and then add the bling, but that's just me.
