You dont have to use a proper over flow container, you can use any container you want. When i worked at eastern creek raceway people were using coke bottles or anything they could get there hands one. All it has to do is stop the over flow onto the road. Just a sussgestion. :roll:
Its not cool, unless it's got boost :)

ive thought of that, as i have used aftermarket options before, but, becasue of all the gear in the engine bay, its a bit tight, so i really want to use a factory style item.

thanks anway

Epoxy resin holds mine and the spare together good... dries clear so seeing the water level is easy

These are a tiawanese non genuine part. They're probably made of better material than the Nissan part.

Local 4x4 parts store sells them for $55.

I fixed mine with fibreglass resin.

Not too sure how long it will last but I've just made one out of 90mm stormwater pipe. Cut a short length, caped each end and put a 'T' piece in the middle with a screw top lid. Cost about $6. For that amount I don't care if I have to replace it every 12 months

I've also got the ARB battery tray. It's a tight fit but it will fit.
