the 2 in 1 would be an awesome idea except that after having a stock coolant tank in my hands thanks to DEpointfive0, and having made the cnc cut one and test fitted in the car. There would be a loss in coolant volume to make a proper size oil catch can.

While its hard for us to have products that fit with every make/model of aftermarket parts...we are trying to do just that.

If you want a sight glass of some sort, just delay your purchase by a few weeks, Ill have something towards the middle of feb on that topic. It will add some cost, Ill be machining some rather expensive hard clear plastic for the "sight glass".

As you can already see, im all about solving problems and coming up with some slick engineered products...What i have in mind should look pretty neat.

Just so you can see, my reservoir (early 2010 model) is different from the newer/nismo models.

Old pic of engine bay:



It's a different shape/color that the others I've seen. Are you imitating this design or the other?

Okay, I wasn't even considering that a possibility, but yes sir. That coating would do nicely!



Although, now that the site is live... That's a bit more than I was thinking??


(I understand the cost involved with metallic parts, but to be honest... it's a reservoir... )

To put it into prospective, there is exactly 15 minutes in the cap and 24 minutes in the top portion plus waterjet time, press brake time, welding, anodize, laser engraving, packaging and shipping.
