Where to buy and how much is to purchase the additional radiator for ATF?

There's no direct bolt on job, but any good cooler from the likes of MOCAL, or B&M will do the job. The Spec depends on why you need it. To give you some idea, the standard cooler fitted to the Automatic GLS is around 7,000BTU. The V6-24 is rated at 9,000BTU. The VR-4 one is likely rated higher than this but the japanese service manual doesn't give a specification - so you're going to have to use a bit of guesswork and consider what you're going to need the cooler for.

To give you some idea, I have a Fluidyne super heavy duty cooler fitted. It's huge and is rated at 25,000BTU - BUT... I no longer use the standard ATF cooling system and also I plan to track the car, so I need plenty of overhead.

Tip: Look for ones with 3/8" hose barbs - this simplifies installation as you can then connect the additional cooler in series with the factory one.
