This has been debated a few times. I would like to discuss this with you whenever you have a few minutes if you would call me here at the shop.
There are a few drawbacks you need to be aware of FIRST before attempting to install the oil cooler core upside down.
Food for thought....the R35 GT-R has a factory installed oil cooler from Nissan. At no point in time does the VERY strict maintanence schedule call for removal and draining of the oil cooler core. The cores on the R35 are positioned with the fittings on TOP.
