Yeah I have the same mods but no heat exchange too. Had my local exhaust guy fix the the awful sound it makes when you put on downpipes or High Flow Cats.

I'm looking at a tune too but I'm thinking getting a LSD first. 

I got some Michelin pilot Sport 4s but that was a long time ago and need a new set soon.

Tyres, Tune, Heat exchange and LSD. Money money money 💰 💰 💰 

Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down.

Good to know, the factory pipes have an X too

Assuming you are starting with a red sport/400r with the factory akebono calipers, you will never need to upgrade the calipers/disc/pad size which is good news (mine really could do with a rebuild though, the auto braking seems to be hard on them). They are the same as the track spec 370z when people can't find a parts lookup.

Because I am/intend to tracking the car, I put race spec discs on it (DBA5000 series which are 2 piece) but for street use I would stick with factory until they need replacement, then put on slotted DBA4000 discs

Pads I can't help much, I went with winmax street/track pads but they are not what I would choose for street use; they have great bite and never faded on the track, but are dusty as hell

Fluid should be changed if you don't know when it was last done, I use Motul RBF600 and change it annually.

That setup is sure to be fine for any power level you throw at these for spirited street use. If you are doing full on racing of course sky is the limit depending on exact needs.

Thanks mate , I'll let my exhaust guys know to see if that addresses the issue.

Thanks Duncan , they are the akebono calipers , for discs I might just look at getting the same size but possibly slotted units.

2 spots that my exhaust guy joined the 2 pipes together 

Made a big difference. I'm now able to live with it. I can make it louder if I want by removing the HKS caps.

Looks like a good fix , I might look into a HKS unit in the future but I had me exhaust guy look at it , apparently the resonators in the FUJITSUBO  - Cat Back were hollow (decorative resonators  )  , so he removed them and put in high flow resonators , that's made it little less aggressive sounding in low RPM's.

Good evening SAU team , just a quick update on the 400r , just had the guys Lush Auto Spa (https://lushautospa.com.au/) do full paint correction and ceramic coating(Exterior and Interior) pictures look great , I'll be picking it up tomorrow.

Highly recommend Lush Auto Spa for anyone who wants their car to look its absolute best.
