I ended up replacing it with a 24 row Stillen oil cooler and it never leaked and I never looked back. Be selective when you choice an oil cooler a specially.

That could have been the fault of installer.

I do appreciate your concern and insight.

There is a thread somewhere on the forum about one member losing a motor because of the Mishimoto sandwich plate o-ring. Just a heads up.

The going consensus is either the Z1 or the FI coolers for trouble free operation. As for blocking the cooler rows off. Some use a piece of thin aluminum plate use velcro to hold it in plate.

I have sticky aluminum tape for that. But Velcro would be easier. Is cooler face accessible from the front facia of a Nismo?

Ya, I will go with Z1.

You can get to the cooler through the grille opening.

I'm one of the people who did this. I spent less than $10 on sheet aluminum and outdoor Velcro. Once the car is raised it can go off and on in under 3 minutes from underneath
