I dont think the Mishimoto powersteering reseviour is junk, it just wont work with the Z (I've tried... several times!). I know Simota1 had his OEM powersteering reserviour wrapped in carbon fiber, which is what I will do this winter as I dont think there are any direct replacement options for the 370z yet. As far as coolant overflow tanks, I had one custom made by LCR Autowerks (a forum Vendor/Sponsor), I also think ARC re-released their coolant reservior/ catch can combo which is really nice. I saw one on JapanParts.com awhile back. I also think forum member Navyboy916 bought one recently. Here are pics of the two options:

LCR Autowerks Option:

I cant find where the arc combo tank is forsale but id love to buy one! The other tank from lcr is a second choice I guess but thats pretty pricey just for a tank $400 If u can provide a link to where I can buy the arc that would be very cool.

Btw the intakes u have are unreal! Very nice. And how dis u fit that catch can next to the intake hose!

Heres a link to the ARC combo: JDM Japanese Auto Parts specialists | japanparts.com

Sounds like LCR raised their prices... i didnt pay that much.
