Dustin, your information looks fairly accurate.. I'd have to see who the thermo plate mfg is to confirm, but most of the info is correct, except for a couple of things.
The instructions for the STILLEN are for mounting it on the passenger side, and that's because we've written our instructions for maximum compatibility with our other oil coolers, such as the transmission and power steering coolers. We've had plenty of customers mount this kit on the driver side. In that application, no moving of the factory PS cooler is necessary, but we do supply everything to move the PS cooler including new lines in both the Street and Race kit.
Also to note and be fair, we have the stainless steel lines custom made by Goodridge, and while more expensive, this is all Goodridge does, and build a superior line, and haven't even had a hint of a line failure.
The thermostatic plate we use does require a filter with a bit thicker rubber seal on the filter, so the Nissan branded filters will not work, but as you've read aftermarket filters such as K&N for the exact application work fine. Although we still recommend sourcing an equivalent filter to the Fram PH3950, or K&N HP-1005, which is readily available anywhere.
