Are you talking about the ARC radiator overflow/ catch can combo tank? I noticed japanparts.com has one in stock. Thats a great piece, would look great in your bay plus no need for the TS catch cans.

the thing is wiggins... i dont think i can refund the top secret no more... i fully paid it 3 months ago.....

i was actually gonna ask them if they can make me one with no oil catch can... since i got the top secret ones...

Gotcha. Well what ever you go with I'm sure it'll look great. I actually ordered an aluminum aftermarket tank from LCRAutowerks two weeks ago or I'd be all over that ARC tank.

BTW I have the same intakes and decided to use red couplers over the blue, it would prolly look good for you as we'll. I included a pic below.

One more thing. I noticed you have the NRG titanium washers. How well do they look with the intakes? I bought Password JDM's washers and they are terrible.

dude we have like the same set up minus the EC lol :tup: great job dude it looks good on urs.... since your car is the 40th color i think the red pops perfectly :D as with mine... i have wayyy to much red going on in my bay so i decided to remove alot of it..... since my car is red... i felt that it was overkill..... not to mention i really wanna highlight the titanium accents..... so black was what i went with... the only thing now is.... i feel that the black couplers make my bay TOO uniform, when i switch out all my hoses to black... i think itll really get peoples attention if the intake couplers are blue.... idk well see... im not a fan of super opposite colors together haha maybe im just getting old...

as for the bolts... BRO i had password jdm bolts.... and ummm they were ok... but again i think they didnt really flow with the set up so i sold them and then put back my old nrg ones since i threw all my stock fender bolts away :bowrofl: the gold on the nrg bolts matches the gold in the TS emblem on the EC :tup: but i wanted to be all over the titanium theme so i opted for the titanium burnt ones from moddiction... i hope and pray that these will be my last set... ive wasted so much money fiddling with different set ups in my engine bay :shakes head:

simota1 06-08-2013 08:41 PM

o and another thing... i think the red hoses look great in your bay because ur engine bay is like a dark gray... mine is turning to like a weird dark maroon kinda shade.... really really ugly when you put the red hoses up against it... stupid morons at nissan for not clearing the engine bays of our carz...

Wiggins3377 06-10-2013 09:22 PM

I'm curious, Did you try using those NRG washers in place of the plastic rivets? They come with adapters don't they? I'd love to use those of my radiator cover.

simota1 06-10-2013 09:57 PM

crap is that what those thingys were?!? i thought they were only packaging nuts to hold the nrg washers and bolts down DOH!!!!!

today i changed out more of my engine bolts to SS cap screw allen bolts (same ones i used on my power steering bolts)... and i just realized that it matched the TS hardware on the intakes :D together with the engine titanium bolts coming in... i will truely be complete and done with this step :tup: so far i did....

fuel regulator bolts
fuel regulator mount bolt
knock sensor bolts
hood nuts


they are all grade 5 SS bolts more than enough strength for those areas i put them in..... im really happy with the outcome... i cant wait till the rest of the bolts arrive and also more engine aesthetics mods :happydance:
