Must have spent at least an hour just playing with placements.

Seems everyone is routing through the passenger's side which makes sense as the oil filter on located on that side. After viewing the pictures and doing a few mock trials, I just couldn't quite figure out how to make it work. Being I never could follow directions, tried reversing the hoses and oil radiator placement. This worked best for me.

#1 There are already predrilled holes. Just added a couple of the body bolt tabs.



#2 Drilled an hole on the opposite side to route the hoses. Just wasn't happy having to drill a bunch of large holes in the car and this is the only one you need.



#3 Oil lines going the opposite direction with plenty of clearance.



#4 Oil radiator mounted. Really would have like to have the hoses on the bottom. Just couldn't figure out how to drill holes in the inside of the bumper frame to do it.



#5 The last step was adding the supplied mounting brackets and making sure everything was neat and no rub or clearance issues.



Seriously...... easier than I expected and oil temps in normal driving are around 200 degrees. Only drilled two holes: One for the two oil lines and one to mount a bracket for the lines. Highly recommend the $380.00 kit as it actually appears easier than other ones currently available for the car. The only extra things you need are two body bolt tabs, two bolts and some nylon ties. Ahhh.... Again,how much again does the Nissan one cost?
