For the first time out, assuming you drive within your abilities, you should be able to get by with brake pads, brake fluid and an oil cooler. Once you're hooked, improve your brake cooling and change your suspension based on what you want the car to do.

Exactly this.

Plus since you have a Nismo, you're pretty well set up to enjoy the on-track experience. Stiff suspension from the factory will feel "at home" on the track where it feels a bit harsh on the street, etc.

Don't be fooled, though, your brakes and all the other stuff are exactly like a non-Nismo's, so you gotta do those upgrades.
