Fi or n/a?

FI kits are on the costly side for this car. But I'm saving for a proper one. It will take me a year to save for my turbo and tranny kit while doing other mods on my car. And another year to save the dreaded emergency what if money.
Patience is a virtue. If you really love your Z? Save your money and buy a GTM,HKS or greddy kit. Maybe in the time it takes to save the kits will drop further in price and you will have even more mod money when the time comes.... buy the necessary less costly bolt ons for turbo prep while saving for a proper turbo on the side.

no such thing as a production HKS TT kit.. to the OP.. it's personal preference... are you ok with the power you have now? If you go FI I would get another kit, not STS. Also regardless of which kit you go with you will need supporting mods and those add up very fast.

I do not understand why people are so scared of FI on our cars. Everyone has a right to their opinions, but there are some great and safe/reliable options available. The thrill of boost is amazing. I will never forget the day I drove home after my Z's SC install. Wow... it's like having a second engine. Not just between street lights: On-ramps, passing, the freeway on a roll, coming out of a curve on a country road and hitting boost onto a straight... the list goes on and on. Plus the sound and the uniqueness that the FI kit adds to your car. I have a friend with a STS kit on his 350Z... it is amazing. Don't be afraid. It's a sports car, it's a fun luxury. If you can afford to make it better, you should. If you can afford FI, you can make it ridiculous. It's like the difference between a regular roller coaster and one that goes upside down in a corkscrew in the dark... they are both fun, but once you step up to the later, you'll never go back. Trust me, go FI, you will not be disappointed.
