RockAuto is the way to go IMHO. Replaced my 5AT radiator a few months ago with a Denso product and replaced the thermostat as well. Spent less than $100 bucks from them shipped to my door and it took me about an hour and a half with a friend to replace it. Fit like a glove, works great and was a super easy replacement. Firestone wanted $691 to do the same damn thing I did, what a freaking joke. DIY FTMFGDW!!!!!

this is why i went oem. i know some aftermarket ones fit and some dont then u have their unreliable info. i spent quite a bit for oem but less headache and being from hawaii the last thing i need is to be trying to return things back and forth that'll be a big waste of time too lol. but im sure no one wants to spend $600 on a oem radiator like i did lol

Rock-Auto carries products from numerous suppliers - some are decent quality and some are miserable. Going with a brand name that has a decent reputation like Denso or Koyo is your best bet (Denso is very possibly the OEM supplier to Nissan for the original radiator). I wouldn't touch a Vista-Pro or any other no name brand unless you enjoy changing radiators every few years. OEM is still your best bet - your original one lasted 14 years, obviously it's good quality.
