Over decades of heat cycles and pressure spikes, these plastic tanks become brittle, developing stress fractures along the crimp seam that cause sudden coolant loss. Furthermore, the stock core configuration provides limited tube-to-fin surface area, resulting in rapid heat soak during extended idling, towing, or steep off-road climbs with the 2.4L or 3.0L powertrains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed entirely from aircraft-grade aluminum with 2 mm TIG-welded tanks, this drop-in performance unit eliminates failure-prone plastic and epoxy joints. The core features a 3-row downflow configuration with vacuum-brazed construction, tight 3\/8-inch tube spacing, and 14–16 fins per inch (FPI), improving heat dissipation efficiency by 35% to 45% over OEM specifications. It integrates a dedicated internal transmission oil cooler (TOC) to protect automatic gearboxes from thermal breakdown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e1986-1997 Nissan Pickup \/ D21 Hardbody (Automatic Transmission)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e2.4L (Z24i, KA24E) \/ 3.0L (VG30i, VG30E) \/ D21 Chassis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStock Output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e106–153 hp \/ 137–180 lb-ft (Approx)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eDPI 314, CU314, RAD314, 21460-73P00, 21400-01G00, NI3010128\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1986-1994 Nissan D21 Hardbody Pickup 2.4L L4 (Automatic Transmission)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1986-1994 Nissan D21 Hardbody Pickup 3.0L V6 (Automatic Transmission)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1995-1997 Nissan Pickup 2.4L L4 (Automatic Transmission)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1995-1997 Nissan Pickup 3.0L V6 (Automatic Transmission)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: Does not fit Nissan Frontier models.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Nissan Truck Durability Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt specifically for the rugged duty cycles of classic D21 chassis trucks, this performance radiator provides the thermal reserve required for sustained hauling, trail work, and extreme temperature operation without risk of tank separation or leaks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50416614342904,"sku":"DS-EOQNEUN4D","price":209.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/performance-radiator-for-nissan-pickup-1986-1997-2-4l-3-0l-automatic-1.jpg?v=1788322911","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/es\/products\/performance-radiator-for-nissan-pickup-1986-1997-2-4l-3-0l-automatic","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
