From personal experience:
GTR oil change at the dealer: $150 (under normal driving: every 6K miles)
Transmission service: $1800-$2000 at the dealer (under normal driving: every 18K miles)
Tires: about $400-$450 per tire (tirerack) and under normal driving set will last about 12-15K miles.
If you track the car: If oil temps exceed 230 deg, change oil after track day
If trans temps go betwn 230-260 deg, change trans fluid w/in 1800 miles after track event.
If trans temps exceed 260 deg, change trans fluid asap.
Brake pads last around 35K miles under normal driving. No longer required to change rotors with pads every time.
Full brake service from dealer: new pads and rotors will run around $8K, aftermarker (read, better) pads and rotors will run around $4 to $6K depending on brand, labor rate etc.
For a supercar, it's much cheaper to maintain a GTR than a lambo or Ferrari, the problem is since it's a nissan, folks expect to pay sentra maintenance prices.
