i would start with a good suspension setup...coilover is the best...if you can't afford one..get a good shock and spring combo

you can cheat as a noob by using good tires (yokohama Es100, Falken Aznis Sport or Falken ST115, Dunlop FM901) up front and use some cheapo junkyard or used tires for the rear...
it's cheating..but it's a good way for u to get used to the side way feeling...try not to depend this setup for too long....u will need to set running same tires up front and back to be your goal..

camber...if you have coilover or have camber plate adjustment...i would suggest you start with -2 camber all the way around..it's a good setting for daily drive and weekend drift... 0 toe front and back...and leave caster setting as stock (you can't adjust it if you don't have the proper suspen pieces anyway) but you can just adjust the camber for now..

get a VLSD...i know it's all Driver...but VLSD will help you...drifing in a open diff just plan pain in the @ss

brakes...don't really need to upgrade them..but since i daily drive my car and i think you do so as well....i think it's safer to upgrade to a z32 front brakes ..if you can't afford bigger brake upgrade..just go with a Metal master pads..

remember...like Aaron said..it's all driver...but with these setup..it will help you...don't depends on the car too much (my case for example...i can't drift any cars..i can only drift in MY car because it's setup for drifing...when i was driving Grant's car at the RS*R practice..i found out it's really hard for me to drift a almost stock car..i need to practice more in a stock car...anyone willing to let me drive their car??)
