The kit does include its own sandwich plate, but I opted not to use it. The included plate felt cheaply made and, more importantly, it wasn’t thermostatic—meaning it doesn’t regulate oil temperature. The GReddy plate provides much better quality and functionality.
Parts Used:
Left to right in the picture: Mishimoto spacer, GReddy sandwich plate, and OEM Nissan oil filter.
