Not sure what to do next... I've added a few carbon fiber trim pieces for the interior but that's it.

Wow, glad to see that car still living.
More mods to do, tough call. More power you can add a twin turbo kit or SC kit, can look into doing some interior upgrades, or just drive the car as is and enjoy it.

I think I'm going to do the Stillen sc kit. I feel I have to do something to be able to say its mine. Lol

The bumper is a little chipped up. I need to find a shop in Cali that can just paint the bumper. I did raise the car a tiny bit so I don't scrape every where. My old manager works at Nissan and I was thinking he could order me a navi or even the 2014 jdm steering wheel. Not sure!!!

Nav will be crazy expensive, mainly because between the non-nav to nav are completely different A/C controls making it difficult to change over. If you do this option please post up a nice long review, as you will be the first.
Another option, which I always point people to is the head unit in the lower portion and a custom screen (carPC or obd2 read out) in the upper screen. Find picture below of my example of this option.

2014 steering wheel would be nice, also look into a few CF companies on here who can do a CF wheel using the OEM wheel. If you go with the Stillen SC please get a custom tune to make sure everything is 100% (there pre-loaded tune is known to be very subpar).

On the boost notion, forget everything that car had added, but other good upgrades to look into along with boost:
-Radiator
-Oil cooler
-Clutch/flywheel/csc
-Radiator fan upgrade

Oh man that's bad ***...I'll have to look that up. What type of gadget is that in the top cubby? I'm still enjoying the car it will take me a bit to have the funds and desire to do something drastic. I can't have it at a shop for too long because its my dd.

The top screen is being ran by HKS camp2, which I believe is not sold anymore new. Can find them but probably used.
Another Z owner in Houston runs a similar design as mine, but uses a carPC for his upper screen. It just loads directly into the gauges, I can get more details on his build.

That's a nice fit. Gives it some tech features that look standard in a super car.
