If you've got the mod bug it's really hard to beat a Mustang. Speaking from experience, there's probably 10x the aftermarket options out there for half the price vs any other platform. Plus the power they can make is just plain stupid (in a good way).
But if you want another Z there's certainly nothing wrong with that. I'd be going TT with my nismo if I could afford it, and wouldn't get rid of a boosted Z for a GT-R even if they offered a straight-up trade.
As far as modding a nismo vs modding a base sport... it makes more sense to start with the base if you're going to be swapping a lot of parts anyway. HOWEVER (somehow this point always gets missed), a lot of that "wasted" money is no longer an issue if you're buying used. If you like the body kit on the nismo get one and mod it because it costs a LOT to put those parts on a base and the previous owner already took that hit to buy the more expensive model. If you can find a good deal on a nismo, mod the crap out of it. Just my opinion.
