I used the OE Nissan filters on my VG and VE, but that was back when Nissan made the quality filters that weren't madeinChina.

There are also some Toyota filters that worked well that have the proper anti-drainback valve to keep the top end happy at startup.

Another comment from a Maxima guy (Maximas used VG30E and VE30DE)
FL-1A motorcraft fits perfect, and filter is large holding a quart. Has a silicone anti drain back valve as well. The smaller FL-400S works as well, or the short version of the fl-1a, forgot motor craft number, bit cross reference frams ph16
