My 370z is a Cap w/o hose,maybe yours is a newer model...Anyway,i don't think there are spare part for this.

You've got options here

1: Call the dealer and ask IF they sell just that part if not? well you can decide if you want to pay what they're asking.

2: Look in the classifieds for someone parting out 2012 or 2013

3: Look in ebay for a used one make sure it includes the cover.

4: The cheap way

Go to the Auto Parts / Napa and find a plastic elbow.

Drill out the broken covers nipple and enlarge it so your replacement elbow barely slides thru it, Just be careful not to over enlarge the hole.

You can use some silicone around the top of the cover to seal it.

And its temp fixed for the time being.

After doing a bit of a research, seems like I'm going to be buying a new reservoir tank. Anyone selling one in socal? Otherwise I'm off to the dealer in the morning -.-

Thankfully the price isn't outrageous at roughly $100.

how about a Nissan recycler, there has to be a boatload of them in LA

I'm not sure what's broken - looks like you could get a new piece of elbow piping drill a hole in the cap, glue it in (using JB Weld) and it would work -perhaps.
