Intake+exh+headers+hfc. $2k. (You would have 26hp=9more thn nismo)
Oil+diff+p.s. + tran cooler. $1.5k (optimum perf)
Carb fiber hood+diffuser. $1.1k. (Reduce 40+lbs)
Ecu prog. $800. (8100rpm will give u better gear2power ratios than 7400)
The numbers come out a lil more than the cost of a NISMO with parts installed.
Honestly its so much more bang for your buck in the long run. You'd be guaranteed better track times in your modded nissan than nismo.
You will be missing the bodykit and rims for the money but, whatever u decide to put on l8r is your own idea of hotness... not some nissan marketer tryin to take your money.
Imho nismo isn't worth it yet. Maybe a refresh in 2011/12 will make the NISMO worthy

People still consider Eibach springs as a solid upgrade, when you could get a good coil over setup for not much more? Show me one person on this board actually tracking their car with Eibachs...
Not to mention your horsepower numbers - people with those intake/exhaust mods are putting down numbers north of 300 on MUSTANG dynos. Seeing as 370's in stock form dyno right around 255 on a Mustang dyno...where the hell did you get 26HP from? That's far closer to 60-70 crank horsepower...not 26.
You honestly think a carbon fiber hood is going to save 40lbs over the stock aluminum hood?
