nope, you can still buy these off of ebay in 3 or 5 packs cheap. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Niss...1d0431&vxp=mtr i think he has a stash of these, unless he bought it from the dealer.

From what I know the ones you get now are made in China with cardboard end caps. I've been using WIX for a while, but found this one in my basement. I'd guess it's about 8 y.o. I know peeps with G35's, and their cars came new with made in China oil filters. Sure, I've never heard anyone say that their cardboard ended filter burst, but it's disappointing to know of cost-cutting when the price has gone up.

I dunno what happened, but one day on amazon the WIX was only $3, so I got a few. Should have gotten 24! LOL But seriously I only need about 3 per year, and I already have some Purolator (got them free but won't use) and actually some other 9E's made in China....
