UK oil cooler is (21305-37P00) 11 row and is also made by Calsonic. Nismo is the same unit: http://www.conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=4506&Car_Type=300&UID=2014042802311386.149.173.166

That particular design is normally part of HKS's front mount kit: There are a lot of copies about for the filters and the ICs. If you plan on keeping the filters then make sure you follow the replacement regime. The filters are the dry type (don't oil). HKS state replace every 6 months or 6K miles. I do mine every 12 months as I do less that 3k per year.

I don't think that "certain Canadian manufacturer" actually makes anything, rather just sells on...

For RHD cars?
-
Nissan added additional coolers for Euro spec cars after high speed testing on German autobahns. In the case of the PS system the mechanical pump is designed to provide full flow at, or very close to, engine idle speed (needed for example with low engine revs and parking). As engine revs increase and are maintained (high speed driving) more and more fluid is being pumped around the (open spool) system. As such, the oil heats rapidly, and can without additional cooling overheat and cavitate resulting in PS performance degredation and/or failure. Granted that for most everyday driving the cooler is probably unnecessary, but Nissan would have been conservative for their specifications for the European market. If you track/race your car adequate PS cooling is something to bare in mind.

They are all set up for RHD by the factory, those that have bought them in the US have either ignored the fact or adpated the cut off shield to get the correct pattern for LHD. This involves opening up the $2K headlight assembly.

What he says ^^^. How many miles have you put on those new brakes?

If the pads themselves are not true then you will get this.

Get them to redo the alignment for the correct car type.

Because some folks have got more money than sense.
