The Nismo has the same brakes as the sport package, 4-piston Akebono's.

For 6-piston calipers there are AP Racing, Stop-Tech, Brembo, and then the no-names. The big 3 range in price from $2500-$3000, a little less if on sale. The rotor sizes will either be the same as stock or a larger 15", but the 15" precludes 18" wheels options.

If you are looking for street performance, don't waste your money. These big brakes won't stop you any faster than the brakes you have. Their purpose is to improve performance under repeated braking conditions, i.e. on a race-track. For standard street driving the brakes don't get hot enough for the big brakes to show any difference, instead the braking potential will be tire limited.
