Other inputs such as tools to bring and other items would be helpful as well. I have yet to track the Z so I don't have much to add right now, but I think this would be a good starting place for newbs. Thoughts?

You have listed what is important up front: Oil cooler, brake pads capable for track use and high temp fluids are critical for having a fun time. The performance related items I would hold off on until getting used to the car and then add mods with precision. Too many changes at once is definitely not a good approach. After running a few times I'd recommend getting R-componds.
Tools:
Pump, temp gauge (check tire temp consistency), pressure gauge, a floor jack if you are switching out wheels and not driving them to the track, a socket that fits your lugs with accompanying torque ratchet.
Personal items:
Tons of water. Staying hydrated on a track day really helps my energy level and ability to concentrate.
