if you had 1500 bucks
Not! Worst bang for the buck ever. Depending on what else might have been done already, hi-flow cats at a minimum, plenum spacer, exhaust, sways bars. Then a track day so you can really learn how to handle the car. Next up would be suspension upgrades. IMHO only of course and we don't know the year of the car so spacer might not apply.

Sorry just had to get that off my chest.
You know I get so tired of seeing this. YES we all know almost 95% of threads started are going to be asked again. Why not just answer the dang question to an be on your way, or here is a better thought hit the back button on your computer if your not interested in answering. Its a forum there will always be a question brought up hundreds of times. SO WHAT!
VO...
Totally depends on how you drive. If you like sliding then get a LSD if you like spirited driving with a little sliding then get coilovers. If you like both then keep saving...
I'd save another $5500 to purchase the Momentum Performance Turbo Kit, have it installed and tuned for non-stop, heart-throbbing adrenaline that would leave a big smile on my face each time I put my foot on the gas pedal.
I'll just fess up and list all that I've done and spent since I got my 08 Touring MT about 2 months ago. I considered these *must do's*
Rear Sway bar $150
Invidia Catback $790
Osirus Tune $550
Nismo S Tune Shocks/Springs $600 (slightly used)
(4) 18X9.5 Rims $670 (Konig Zero In)
245/275 Cooper RS-3S tires $700
Total $3460
If I were to shell out my first $1500 it would be rear bar, Nismo S Tune, Rims
for a tad under $1500.

Sorry just had to get that off my chest.
1) OP didn't specify if he wanted his Z to go faster, handle better, look better, be lowered, ride better or any other criteria. Therefore any and all random answers will be in line with his directionless goal. Kudos to him for at least specifying a budget - most don't
2) You're right, we're all tired of "seeing this", i.e. asking the same question over and over. It deserves and gets the same answer over and over. I'm saving him the hassle of searching out a bunch of threads on the subject he's asking about.
3) I did answer his question, I pointed him to threads with lots of suggestions for mods. What did YOU do for him? Other than get something off your chest.
4) Look at the majority of the replies here. It sure seems like few members take these kinds of questions seriously.
You want to do something about this besides venting? Write a FAQ.
