Hey man looks like you have a nice list of things you're planning on doing. My only word of advice would be this, and I hope someone else can chime in because I don't want to lead you in the wrong direction.

I personally have contemplated, but have not gone ahead installing a short shifter in my Z. Our transmissions are pretty beefy, but the synchro's tend to be the cause of problems to many people who have tranny problems. Installing a short shifter could put additional stress on the synchro's which in turn could cause them to fail prematurely. And with the short shifter installed I don't think Nissan would cover the replacement under warranty.

Just my 2 cents on the issue. I'm sure everyone who has a short shifter installed will post to yell at me. But to me better safe than sorry.
