WHERE TO BUY
Open an exact listing, then confirm fitment, stock, price, and shipping with the seller before ordering.
Seller links checked . Prices and availability can change.
The OEM matrix is engine generation x transmission: DE-MT 21410-CD010, DE-AT 21460-CD010, HR-MT 21410-EV00A and HR-AT 21460-EV00A. In this matrix 21410 is MT and 21460 is AT. Some aftermarket radiators consolidate MT/AT, but that does not make the four OEM applications interchangeable; confirm cooler provisions and dimensions. Fans are removed from this row and need a separate researched page. The reviewed Nissan EPC set covers US 2003-08; verify 2009 Z33 Roadster separately before extending scope.

Fitment
The OEM matrix is engine generation x transmission: DE-MT 21410-CD010, DE-AT 21460-CD010, HR-MT 21410-EV00A and HR-AT 21460-EV00A. In this matrix 21410 is MT and 21460 is AT. Some aftermarket radiators consolidate MT/AT, but that does not make the four OEM applications interchangeable; confirm cooler provisions and dimensions. Fans are removed from this row and need a separate researched page. The reviewed Nissan EPC set covers US 2003-08; verify 2009 Z33 Roadster separately before extending scope.
Aftermarket options
Checked replacement paths include clearly cataloged DE automatic and DE manual radiators on the 2005 catalog page, plus HR-era 2007 automatic and manual listings. Some aftermarket listings consolidate MT/AT and include an automatic-transmission cooler; that consolidation does not prove the four OEM numbers interchangeable. Confirm DE/HR, transmission, production date, cooler fittings, dimensions and Nismo notes before checkout.
Before you buy
Choose by DE/HR, MT/AT, production date and cooler provisions. Both checked OEM HR radiator numbers are discontinued; current aftermarket inventory is seller-specific. A consolidated aftermarket fitment does not make the four OEM applications interchangeable. Fans and 2009 Roadster fitment remain outside this page.
