Read this, if you haven't already: GTSpec info, good read

Based on that, I'd say intake or a different GTSpec part.

either way, looks like there isnt much love for the strut bar...

everyone still likes the intakes. hehe even though the stock airboxes are very good already.

You have to remember this car is already much more rigid than the 1st gen G35.
Any bolt on braces are going to be incrementally less effective as a result.
That's the reason I went with the complete front end kit.

You're probably best to go with the intake for now....
Also, I will add a write up on the front end kit for you to drool over later.
