Went to the Nissan dealer by work during my lunch break. I picked up the 15208-65F00 oil filter. It's approx. 2.75", shorter than the 9E000. Both part numbers are for our Maximas according to their computer. This will definitely work for me. They wanted $11 but I talked them down to $7. 
Based on what I heard so far, the only 4th gens that have reported oil filter clearance issue are the 95/96's. Not sure why.

Got royally screwed by some Framm ultra-mega-cool filter once - never again.

OEM $3.99 each - no minimum. It's a no brainer.

Does oil filter make difference?
I always buy oil filters from Nissan dealer. My local dealer always has "buy 3 get 1 free" discount. It's just 20 something dollars for four filters.
Oh, forgot to mention, each filter comes with a copper washer that can be used with oil pan drain plug(bolt).

I Use Fram 7317 and never had any problems. I have 119,000 miles and still have a really tight engine. It still runs like like new. I just changed the plugs after 85,000 miles and could have gone another 20,000 miles on them. I am running Bosch Platinium + 4's.

Fram 
I'm not too worried though, I haven't had any problems yet and if It does cause something to go wrong, 3.5 time. My oil always looks fine when I change it, so i've had no reason to switch filters

I used to have mad wheel hops. Not anymore, these traction bars work! My only issue now is the tire rubbing on the passenger side bar. Perhaps now that I have plenty of clearance, I can remove a few more washers to bring the bar in. I'll have to try this early in the morning when its not so hot! Yo, I'm feeling like a mini-meet! My trip to the dessert got cancelled because of the extreme hot temp, don't wanna get heat stroke out there. Let me know!

comon now, get a filter wrench and its just as easy with that nut, better yet if your cheap just stab a screwdriver through it and twist the screwdriver...or best yet just put it on without too much torque, and taking it off will be easy
