GTM window washer after turbo install

lineyho · 02-28-2013, 07:18 PM

Has anyone bought and installed the GTM window washer reservoir kit after TT install because the factory reservoir will not fit ? Was it a clean install ? I live in the rainy NW and use the window washer frequently.

Ive got one sitting on my workbench but havent installed it yet. Need to route the wiring and hose from the stock location back to the trunk where it will be mounted.

IIRC, lots of mod work to get it to fit. I need to get one, too. It'll be nice to get one fitted in the old intake box area above the charge pipe.

Mine fit fine. The shop that installed mine didn't mention any difficulties getting it to fit.

^ Really? I thought Jason said it required some mods to get it to fit, unless GTM has one for the 370Z by now.

He didn't mention any issues to me.

They may have produced a new one, because I remember back in 10 the only one they had was basically a carry over from another setup with some bolts to "try" to fit in the Z.

The only issue I've seen is the fact you have to pop off the plastic cover to check and fill the bottle.

Funny you should ask this, I just dropped mine off to GTM yesterday for a special powder coated windshield washer resevior to match my intake pipes in my TT setup.
I'll keep u posted.

Hmmmmm... a powder coated unit ? All I saw was a plastic reservour that they had. So I'm assuming what you are talking about is metal powder coated unit. I will need to call them to find out more.

Pictures? I'd love to see the installed reservoir.

This is a new thing that Sam came up with. We are trying it out. I'll post it up.

I wasn't even aware GTM built a replacement. LOL! I ended up modifying an aluminum water bottle to fit the pump and stuck it in between the intercooler piping.

You can laugh or cry, but it works well.
