The Nismo has wider stickier tires than the base model, so traction should be better than the base. You still should be able to break them loose on the 1-2 shift, though. Maybe get an oil analysis and have a compression test done?
I would start with wondering if the clutch is showing it's age, if original at 65k

Also knowing how to pop the clutch at the right rpm
