Message I'd probably sell it to a track rat for a gutted low budget racer and start over. I don't mean this as an insult but you sound kind of naive about the scope of your issues and what it's going to take. flooding like that causes a ton of difficult and expensive problems.

Your entire interior is likely ruined. Door panels, seats, etc are certainly ruined.

Your ECU is ruined. Your electrical harness should be discarded and replaced.

If you have mold, which you probably do unless you let the car air out with a fan for days after the incident, you will need a special cleaning supplies and a ton of effort and may still never get the mold all out or get rid of the smell.


plan:
Clear water from intake/intercoolers/piping/engine before anything else.
change oil.
replace ecu
try to start the car.
Check compression on engine.
Ohm test injectors, probably lost at least one.
etc etc sort the mechanicals out before starting on the interior or investing heavily in parts.

Putting AMS garbage, and $500 ebay wheels on a Z is like
dressing a Victorias Secret model in a Walmart dress and
Payless shoes. You're embarrassing yourself.
