I don't think so. The NISMO car doesn't come with an oil cooler btw. The official NISMO oil cooler mounts similarly to the Stillen, but it's taller (and may be set back some). The Stillen one mounts with a good gap between it and the radiator, and relocates the PS cooler back there between the two (and I assume their upgraded PS cooler goes in the same spot). Point being, there's not enough room in any of the gaps (radiator -> PS cooler, PS cooler -> oil cooler, oil cooler -> bumper) to fit the thickness of most intercoolers I've seen. Perhaps their plan will be to fit exactly two coolers up close to the radiator (one on each side) with the IC up in front of them. May work for 6MT (oil + PS coolers), but not 7AT (which also could use an AT cooler).
