Nissan 370Z Radiator Replacement Parts

The Nissan 370Z (Z34) ran as a single generation from 2009 through to around 2019 in the UK, with a facelift arriving in 2013, so both years sit within the same overall generation. Because the 370Z used one engine throughout – the VQ37VHR V6 – the core radiator specification is closely related across the range, but mounting points and ancillary connections can change across the 2013 facelift boundary. Name the generation and both registration years when contacting a breaker, and confirm the specific fitment against your registration before buying.

It can do, because automatics typically use a transmission oil cooler that is integrated with or plumbed into the radiator, whereas the six-speed manual does not require this. Tell the breaker whether your car is the manual or the seven-speed automatic so they can match the correct unit. Sending your engine code (VQ37VHR is standard across the range) alongside the gearbox type gives the breaker the clearest picture.

Trim level does not affect radiator fitment on the 370Z; the engine and drivetrain are the same across GT, GT Edition, and Nismo variants, so the cooling system specification follows the engine code rather than the badge. You may find a part pulled from a Nismo looks cosmetically different in surrounding bodywork, but the radiator itself is a mechanical component and trim is not a selecting factor. Confirm the year and gearbox type with the breaker as usual, and verify against your registration.

Strictly speaking the 370Z only ever came with the VQ37VHR 3.7-litre V6, so for this particular model the engine code is consistent and your registration year is a good starting point. That said, quoting VQ37VHR to the breaker alongside your year (and whether you have a manual or automatic) removes any ambiguity and speeds up the matching process. You can find the engine code on your V5 logbook or by running a VIN check.

The 2013 facelift is a real production boundary on the Z34, and while the engine remained unchanged, ancillary connections and mounting details can differ across that point. We cannot state with confidence that a pre-facelift radiator will drop straight into a post-facelift car without modification. Confirm the interchange directly with the breaker, quoting both registration years and your VIN, so they can check the specific part numbers before you commit.

Give them your registration (which they can run on their systems), your VIN or engine code (VQ37VHR), your model year, and whether the car is a manual or automatic – the gearbox type is important because automatics may need a radiator with an integrated transmission cooler. Mentioning whether your car is a pre-2013 or post-2013 facelift model also helps narrow things down. The more of this information you supply upfront, the quicker a breaker can confirm whether the unit they have is correct for your car.
