1. Cat-Back Exhaust
2. NISMO Stabilizer
3. NISMO Suspension
4. NISMO Brake Pads
5. Akebono Brake Kit

Do I need anything else to make my Z a true NISMO?

Fixed....

While some of the parts listed are a great idea, you'll really need to spend $$ on the body kit, AND a tune after you change the exhaust, if you want your base to be a NISMO. You probably should have just spent the extra $$ and bought a NISMO, if that's what you wanted. My suggestion(s), enjoy your base Z, peruse the forum for ideas, and then make a decision on what you want in the way of upgrades. Just so you know, the Akebono kit might require the 19" wheels, so that's another $2k just for wheels, tires are probably another $1k on top of that. I don't know what your budget is like, but seriously, if you wanted a NISMO, ya should've bought one.

Transmission was whining in every gear even though tranny fluid was topped off and was starting to become worse within the last few weeks

Driving season over or are you just parking it in the garage so you can molest it when nobody is watching. I thought you were a leather, chains, and whips kind of guy.

No, no, no....stabil is the name of kenchans anti-psychotic medication

I sat and gazed at the Z, contemplating how to install a trans fluid temp gauge.
