Glad to help
I'm about to do another change (getting close to 35k) I can tell with the hot summers I get when I'm getting higher mileage on my oil. I just hit the 5k mark or so on this change (with no track time or anything) and I'm noticing some slightly higher numbers. I still almost never touch the 200deg mark regardless, I just prefer when it stays closer to 180deg since that's my 100% threshold on my adapter. BTW, to give you perspective, I've gotten in my car a few times and the water temp has been really close to nominal. Just a steady heat as of late, I'm sure AZ is used to it lol. EDIT: Forgot to mention.. Still ZERO issues with my setup. Flooding rains, track time, hotttt summers; no leaks, burning, sweating, anything. Hell, the other day I had no choice but to straddle some debris in a construction area and I ran over a chunk of concrete. I have yet to get my car lifted up, but from what I could see my ladder brace may actually be broken. No conflict with the oil cooler setup. Honestly, this is the first time I've ever been truly glad to have the plastic cover under my motor.

I bought an oil kit for my Z from Z1, which comes with a Setrab cooler. I was thinking about mounting the cooler upside down, with the hose connections on the bottom. That way when I do an oil change I would just have to disconnect the hose fittings to drain the cooler. Does it matter what orientation the cooler is in? Whether connections are on top or bottom?

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. |

I have a 2012 with stock cooler track A LOT, so far I did 4-5 track days since I bought it end of November, a few people suggested I do 25 row, but I'm debating to go 34 row. With stock cooler I push 255-260 deg on the stock cooler end of each track session. Thoughts?

If you track a lot go big. The 25-row would be marginal, and although it would probably start out working okay, you would start finding its limitations as you got faster.

If you can have them both that would be great. Did you confirm that there is enough room?

The sandwich plate. There is a fair amount of room in there so I was optimistic that you'll be able to use both. If Z1 says it will fit than that is all you need to know
