Coming into some money how should i spend it?
I'm coming into about 4 or 5 grand in the next month and I am wanting to dump some or most of it into my n.a. I dont think I want to do a TT swap. What sort of things should I consider getting? any and all suggestions are welcome.

Well, being that you want to stay NA... I would do all maintenance that can be done. 120k kit... all fluids and filters... Suspension... wheels tires... make your car function like new and perhaps look like new. See z-owned's z32 for some ridiculous form meets function for NA's. With 5k you could make an NA a sweet time attack car! Or a pretty nice show car! 5k will also get you an OE quality full paint job at a reputable shop. Word of advise... if you want a fast car... don't spend your money on an NA engine unless you want to swap for a larger NA engine like an LS or VH series. Lastly, a healthy Z is a happy driver

Also on the cosmetic side. Jspec tail lights and front fascia. If you don't already have them

+1 to all of the above- if you do plan on some day going fast use the NA for "practice" via the maintenance and other upgrades mentioned as it will get you ready for what owning and properly keeping a TT will be like.
You might even consider getting a TT engine for slow buildup after spending part of your cash doing your NA maintenance, and saving for the swap later as Z-Owned has done.

Ive already taken care of all of this, ive highly considered the jspec front. I am wanting to get the HKS exhaust and a break upgrade as well as an aluminum drive shaft.
