Thanks man, trying to decide if I should go with red or black hoses. I wish all reds were the same.

Had a few hiccups, but I finally installed my Top Secret Catch Cans and grounding kit. I had to drill a new hole in my engine bay for the driver side catch can, but in the end I love the way they look!!! Thanks to Zuperman 370 for dealing with my constant messages and questions over the past few weeks. I'm ordering some red vacuum tubing tomorrow for the cans. I also think I may be ordering the TS engine cover real soon

. As for the grounding wires... I can't say enough about Simota's work, very, very happy with the results.

Sorry for the crappy iPhone pic.

Had these made yesterday at a local shop, they produced all the decals for my Camel Bike a few years back so I'm always open to helping the little guys. I'm thinking I'm gonna put the round Top Secret logos on my catch cans, just not sure which color to go with matte black or red. Also had them cut me some Work decals to put on my side skirts, again though not sure which color to go with. What do you guys think? Anyone notice the flaw in the Top Secret decals? I didn't see it until I got home last night.

"TOP" part is supposed to be colored instead of "SECRET"

Wiggins3377 · 07-03-2013, 04:46 PM

Yup...

^Definitely Love your engine bay

Great looking Z btw!!!

I vote keep that bay clean without the stickers...no advertising needed, the parts speak for themselves! Loving your engine bay!

Finally received my aluminum overflow tank today... It took forever to get it, but the end product is great. I think I may get the mishimoto power steering reservoir next.

So I installed the overflow tank and love it, however the polished aluminum look isn't working for me. That said I'm thinking of going in three different directions:

1) Have my painter match it to the 40th exterior. This would pull in the color of my engine cover, however I'm not sure how long I'll be keeping that.
2) Paint it myself to match the bronze oil cap, the dress up bolts and a few other items I painted to pull in the color of my wheels.
3) Have my painter airbrush it to match the burnt titanium of my catch cans and intakes. Only problem I see there is the aluminum is polished, so it won't match it perfectly.

I'd be painting the overflow tank as well as a soon to be purchased aluminum power steering reservoir tank.

What do everyone think?

Here's a pic with the tank installed, oh I ended up putting a red decal on my passenger side oil catch can. Not sure it's working for me, ill make a final assessment once I install my red vacuum hose tomorrow.

Wiggins3377 · 07-12-2013, 05:12 PM

Alright, so I've decided I'm gonna try out the bronze paint on the aftermarket overflow tank. Hopefully I like how that looks, if it turns out that I hate it I'll just take it to my painter and have him body match it. I also purchased some Mishimoto products this week including their 370z radiator hose set (i'll be selling my z1 hoses once these are installed), their universal power steering reservior and 4 of their 10mm x 100cm hoses in red. I hope to use these for my oil catch cans as well as to replace other hoses in my bay... I should get these in the next week or two.

I'm also debating on whether or not I want to purchase some aftermarket seats. The product I like most is the Status Spa icon series. It gives you complete customization of the seat, which i love and I'm really digging the diamond stitch look. That said I've narrowed my options to two... what do you all think?
