Like the others said the first thing I would change out are the bushings. After that next would be to change pumpkins with a 6MT car to get the 3.5FD. That was the biggest improvement on my 5AT G35C (even more than the engine mods).

The order of doing things advice is part of the suggestions I am looking for on here and I appreciate that. I agree that it does have plenty enough power for the average driver but coming from a racing background it just needs a little more for me to be content.
Has plenty of power actually and as others have said, you will not gain much power for your budget. Biggest improvement for your cash, 3.7 gearset, get a diff from a 370z or G37. Simple to swap.

Then, nice lightweight wheels with a wider tire. Stock wheels are boat anchors, and stock tires are narrow. Lighter helps, and wider helps

(I usually don't trigger easily but this is a very sore spot to me, if you couldn't tell. )

So, I harken back to earlier posts by myself and others.... when you say you want to enhance the feeling of the car, are we talking handling, aesthetics, power or....?

And again, the key question: BUDGET?

In general, the Z33 has enough power for most people who can handle it.

Next comes handling then. You swapped springs, OK....but what about the shocks - which control said springs? Sway bars stock? If so, that's the next thing (or the first thing if shocks are already decent). Is your alignment set with the new springs? If so, how? Alignment gear? Within stock adjustability only?

Point is, you need to get specific here as one thing is attached to another and there's an order of doing things to get it right.
Hey you snipped me on this and beat me to the punch - NOW I sound like a echo - dang you MICHAEL...

Ha!.. No, please don't. It gets recycled, trust me. I learned a lot about the Z from you and a couple other members here(Most of them are in this thread). I know cars, but I don't know the Z like that yet.. A big thanks for that.
