Yes you can make any car better but this is off the showroom floor with exclusivity, warranty etc etc which has been discussed countless times. THE NISMO IS TOTALLY WORTH IT. Again you are not going to understand from a 5 min test drive. And the Fact remains no one trades in or sells their Nismo as much as someone with a regular Z for something else. It's the total package that works. The Nismo package works well and to make it work even better it someone has to figure out how to tweak the ECU to really free it up.
Why would they make a track oriented car that can not be driven on track for more than 5 minutes without overheating? If they had simply added an oil cooler I would have been satisfied, but without it the car is useless. So I figured if I'm going to have to do that one mod myself then I might as well do the rest and get adjustable parts vs fixed. You are correct that the resale of the Nismo will be better than that of a modded car, the only way to recoupe value of a modded car is to go back to stock and sell the mods.
