Nissan Motorsports Oil Coolers

BrandonT · 05-08-2011, 12:46 PM

I'm looking at getting one of these oil coolers on my new Z and have a couple questions. Leaving a bunch of oil in a cooler during an oil change does not appeal to me (fittings up), nor does having to fill an empty cooler on startup (fittings down). Would it be possible to mount these on their side, than add a three way fitting to the upper and lower fitting, so you can drain from the lower one and fill to the upper one (by taking a cap off the third nipple on the three way)?

Also how does the GTM unit compare as far as using OEM filter? Or better yet the Puralator PureOne since that is what I will be using? Which of these kits has the the thermostatic valve built in to the adaptor plate, all of them?
