All the stock fitting oil filters will work with the kit, there is plenty of clearance even with the sandwhich plate. I run the Pure 1 (a bit longer) and I have no problems. I've heard some people run the GTR filters which are even longer still I believe, that I cannot comment on.

I am not familiar with that exact filter, but any standard length 370Z oil filter will fit just fine on the Austrailian-spec 370Zs with our oil cooler kit. You MAY run into fitment issues when using the longer G37/GTR filters. This is due to the stacking height of the Mocal Sandwich plate on top of your car's existing oil-to-water oil cooler (found previously, ONLY on the Middle Eastern and Austrailian models). The factory cooler on your 370Z is roughly 2" in thickness.

I just checked out our shop 370Z on the lift and "guesstimated" the added thickness of the OEM oil-to-water sandwich plate along with the longer G37 Sedan oil filter. I think it MAY BE possible, but a real pain to accomplish.

By all means PM me if you have any questions with any of our products including our oil cooler kits!
