Excellent choice , very good oil. Why do u want to use a RP oil filter? Oh well. The part # for RP for ka is # 10-2835.

Reason why you guys don't find it is because the oil filter is sold for a Nissan Estacas (Mexican truck) the truck still has the Ka Engine even now.

Oils:
Amsoil 5W-30 in the KA at 166k, Purolator PureONE filter.
Royal Purple 75W-90 GL-4/5 in the transmission (sucks SHIT)
Castrol 80W-90 Hypoy C in the VLSD
No idea what my brake fluid is, haven't needed to change it so far.

Going to try an Amsoil oil filter next time to see if it really is any better, and sticking with Amsoil for oil changes from now on. I want to try Eneos, Redline, and Motul in the future though. Need to change my tranny oil to Amsoil, RP blows ass. No complaints from the differential department.

Ignition/Fuel:
NGK Iridium IX spark plugs
NGK wires
Duralast distributor cap & rotor (blah blah I found them new in the trunk when I bought it), next ones will be OEM
Z32 fuel filter

I'm another one of the "OEM is best" type people for these kinds of things, and like to get the best of everything possible for my car. If only I was like that with my own body... :-/

On a side note, Royal Purple SUCKS. It is absolute garbage. I have that shit in my transmission and it's awful. I should've known better when I saw it's for both GL-4 and GL-5 applications. Makes me grind into 2nd gear at high RPM and just makes it more difficult to shift in general. Sorry, had to get that out so hopefully anyone reading this will think twice about putting any of their products in their car...

I noticed one other person using Castrol Hypoy C but it's for a VLSD. I have a couple extra bottles laying around collecting dust. Does anyone think it's unsafe to use this in a Kaaz 2-way LSD? It's still mineral based and the correct viscosity like the manufacturer suggests. Think it's any better or worse than Kaaz brand oil? I'm currently running Motul 90PA in there, but it's 2 years old now. Not many miles have been put on the car since my last tuneup (~2 full tanks of gas in as many years).

The rest of my tuneup consists of: Rotella T synthetic 5W-40, NGK iridium plugs heat range 8 (GT2540R turbo 355whp), anything but Fram oil filter sized for a Z32 (for a Greddy oil filter relocation kit), Redline MT-85 transmission fluid, ATE superblue brake fluid.
