For budget 2k or less preferably.. the handling is nice and tight as is and I don't really have any intention of tracking it until wayyy later down the road. I am looking for a little more power and I'm also aware that it doesn't matter how much you have unless you can apply it to the ground. Aesthetics is also another point of interest for me as well. 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.
Then, nice lightweight wheels with a wider tire. Stock wheels are boat anchors, and stock tires are narrow. Lighter helps, and wider helps

OK, now that that's cleared up, let's make something perfectly clear here. This is NOT about anyone "putting anyone down", it's a general condemnation - in this case, miscontrued and for that, my apologies - of street racing and the stupidity of those doing so. (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.

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.
