The washer tank is on the driver side right next to the intercooler. So This oil cooler will be to the right next to it. I can relocate the tank to the passenger side but too lazy LOL. I just finished 1 side of the bracket and will do the other side tonight after work. I work 12 hours day and don't have much time to work on my car. Will take some pictures for you guys to see if it's ok.
My oil cooler is mounted to the passenger side of my large intercooler, with plenty of room to not interfere with my washer tank.

03 350Z. I got the Greddy TT kit and the washer is right next to the intercooler. Now thinking about it, if it ran out....how da hell i'm going to re-fill it LOL? I can put the oil cooler on the passenger side, but then there will be extra length( long stainless braided lines). Don't feel like cutting them, and it jsut perfect length on the driver side.

Well BAD NEWS! It doesn't fit on the driver side 
The freaking wastegate is in the way. BTW I got the regular GTM oil cooler kit(bought it of for a bit over $300 new). Just tried over the passenger side and it rubs on the bumper reflector. It will be pretty tight fit and might rubs the intercooler pipe a bit. Will try to make it fit.

also, turn the cooler on it's side and mount it vertical like i did. Coolers don't know the difference and they will cool the oil no matter how you turn them.

I understand what you are saying. What I meant is the GTM came with the lines all assembled. If I mount it on the passenger side there will be 2 feet of extra in length 
But I will try the vertical way or whichever is easy.
But I will try the vertical way or whichever is easy. you're backwards, there is WAY less length on the passenger side since it's closer to the sending unit. My houses are jsut barely over 2 feet and it appears that jeffie's are about 4-5 feet each.
also, turn the cooler on it's side and mount it vertical like i did. Coolers don't know the difference and they will cool the oil no matter how you turn them.
