Call me stupid, but why not use a 300z (z32) oil cooler kit?
VG30de and KA24de use the same oil filter, is it because you want it sandwiched differently?
Greddy and stillen both offer kits, but I don't believe that they are bolt on to the block from what I've seen from the kits.

Just because they use the same oil filter, does not mean they use the same pedestal(?). The part that goes between the filter and the block is what this replaces. The point of this is to eliminate the need for a sandwich plate.

Sandwich plates look half assed, and this thing is bad ass. And is less likely to leak all over.

And, did I say it's bad ass?

Can't you JB weld a sandwich plate to the block and eliminate an O ring or gasket maker? Lats say if you wanted it to be somewhat more permanent? Call me crazy but I was just thinking on doing it pretty cheap and ghetto.

'crazy' is not the term i would use, but you have fun being ghetto.

no one like their oilfiters to be on their engine blocks anymore...

I personally just get tired of cleaning my cross member because of the ingenious placement of the stock filter.

And I like shiny stuffs
