Factory radiator differences, 2 different part numbers
So I'm currently in the process of my 03.5 Sedan partial restore. A few things aren't working to well. Clutch fan is shot and A/C condenser fan (Pusher fan) isn't coming on at all. Since the I'm upgrading to Electric Fans and I'm gonna have everything out anyway replacing thermostat and so on I figured with how cheap radiators are I might as well while I'm there.

In any description I see these radiators say will work with manual and lists for at and so on. It also says even manual guys will see it has a at cooler but its ok if its unused.
I have a 2003.5 Sedan at5 and again going electric fans. Is the only difference fan shroud mounts? FYI 03 Sedans had a mechanical fan, some even 1 single electric fan and coupes had dual electric fans. I just want the best sized factory type radiator that will fit a 03.5 premium sport packaged Sedan AT5
I would think 21460AM900 wouldn't work? I could be very wrong here. I'm looking to buy a 21460AM900 radiator ( 2003 or 2004 6spd sedan) . How much are you finding 21460AM900 for by way?
The only difference is that an MT specific read won't have the nipples for the auto trans lines. V most companies just make a universal one cuz it's cheaper, so they'll put the nipples on it, but if you don't use them, they don't do anything.
I have a 2003 Auto Sedan non sport models.
these cars came with: “CLUTCH FANS!”
Not the dual electric fan set up like the “Sport models did, ie the manual/Brembo cars.
ive been trying to find stock replacements and have bad luck in the states.
they only made these car setups for 8 months then decided to just go with all the cars having dual electric fans 04 and beyond no matter the trim model of the car.
so these parts are so rare in the states that a company was going to charge me $230 for the “Fan Blade”!!! That’s not including the clutch!!! I don’t need the clutch regardless. But wow.
I ended up ordering overseas from Dubai, part was like $53 (JDM Genuine Nissan part) and then $40 for shipping and will be here tomorrow. I ordered it on Sunday and it’ll be here tomorrow!!
