how far do you want to go

if you want basic power, get a CAI, the Mandrel exhaust kit, WarpSpeed Ypipe, etc.

if you want major power, turbo it. you can use the manifolds, oil lines, piping, turbo, etc. from a turbo Z31 with VG30ET.

coolant lines are a different story tho... the Z motors (at least the pre-87 ones) had a threaded coolant tap on the left side of the bellhousing (would be 'front' on a FWD orientation) but both my Maxima engines are missing that.

A high flow fuel pump isnt going to help anyone who is NA. In fact without a good aftermarket FPR it may hurt power by raising fuel pressure above stock and causing the car to run rich.
I have a feeling you listed that by mistake but I don't want someone to go out and buy one and waste their hard earned money on making them slower and reducing their MPG.

No, I didn't list it by mistake......a 190 L/H with the OEM FPR or an AFPR will help if he improves his breathing enough @ WOT the slight amount of extar fuel may help......I have an AFPR and Walbro 190l/h pump.....with a whole lot of other goodies....
The NISMO brand is a piece of crap (On the Right)
