Get the Defi D gauges. I think those look closest to stock. They're 52mm and will fit in gauge pods perfectly. Check out forgedinternals.

With my TN kit, I have the EGT, BOOST, and UEGO A/F gauge. I also highly recommend a turbo timer. I went with autometer carbon fiber, but I have the nismo carbon fiber ****. They make black faces and the UEGO has six faces to match whatever you go with. I may add a fuel pressure gauge later, but as of now that's all I am going with. Autometer is a lot cheaper than Defi and the quality is very similar. Call either Sharif or Jesse at turbo-kits.com, that's where I have gotten all of my stuff.

If sharif told me correctly, they have the last set of these guages (7 at the time) that are left in the country headed to their shop...may want to call him and jump on them if thats correct.

I have a TN kit and plan on doing a return style fuel system later, so I went with fuel pressure, an Innovate Wideband, and boost.

Hands down Defi BF- Amber series quite expensive but they are digital and by far the best looking gauges for the Z!

Boost, AF of choice (I like Innovative) and oil press. Those are really the things you have to have a eye on all the time. Don't put anymore gauges unless you like your car to look like an airplane.

Defi BF series and Innovative A/F. Just got mine from Sharif and installed @ CP, they look awsome. If your spending the money go all out, you won't regret it.
