Who needs Aluminum Overflow Tanks???

[S.Milone]

Ok so here is the deal. Other companies make overflow tanks but they are never in stock. Always a few months back order. We need them often and can't get them. We are wondering how many other people are interested in them. If there are enough people who want them we will start making them.

Just say what car you have an if you would want one. If there are enough of you we will start making these.


Thanks in Advance guys.

[DALAZ_68]

any chance i can view ur design?

[Jgrand03]

is it actually going to fit also ive heard there was fittment problems with the circut sport and would the price be around the same for an s13 btw

[Bubba]

Good idea...

The only fitment issue I have seen with the CS tank is the tabs bend a lil bit in shipping, but install fixes that. The other is the feed tube on the bottom, has to be bent upwards a little bit or it pinches the hose after a lil time with the vibrations.

Good luck with this idea, hope it works out for you.
I would be down but I only have one 240 and already bought the CS model.

[Mister.E]

id buy one if it fit right. i would say relocate the feed tube, the placement on the CS tank blows.

i have a 180sx and id buy one if you made em...depending on your price of course.

[S.Milone]

Well we won't make a crap part. We have a CNC machine and other machines available to make the parts right for quality control if that is what we need. It will be priced to compete. As far as design it will be designed to work well and fit well. What are you looking for in design now? Something that shines? Let me know.

[Mister.E]

im just looking for something that looks good and at the same time doesnt crack like my piece of shit plastic tank already has. but it has to fit like OEM so it doesnt screw up anything else in the engine bay. i really like the design of the Circuit Sports tank, but that feed tube nipple placement sucks hard.

[sleepinsilvia23]

Would u be making two designs for s13 and s14 or something like that?

We intend to make things fit very well.

[s13Dr1ft]

As said by others, im interested in one that fits nice and doesnt have problems. Pricing?

[S.Milone]

The s13 for sure. If people with s14 are interested enough we will make them one too. We are also tossing the idea around about adding a radiator breathing tank to it as an option.

[CA18_S13]

Would definitely buy if it wasn't priced as high as circuit sports and the fitments issues and feed tube issues were resolved.

[A Spec Products]

Something that shines? Let me know.

I'd say keep it matte, or sandblasted finish

Polished looks a bit tacky (i.e imagine a big huge polished thing in a stock dirty engine bay), unless that's the theme of the engine bay

I agree with this. I wasn't sure what he was getting at though. I'm not big on polished. I'd like to do a bead blasted finish.

[andmattsayd]

yeeeahh if fitment its 2nd to none and if the price is amazing.
then....
sign me up for one!!! haha.

[sleepinsilvia23]

If you made a cheap S14 one that took the factory spot place that kinda just kept a low profile and wasnt too flashy, Like black as said above i would be interested.

Another question, if you guys have all this equipment why dont u offer other pieces? y just the overflow tank?

or at least the option.

[Thaiair]

Sign me up for an S13 one. I can never find a replacement one in the junkyard.

I say a matte finish one like a spec says since i think would look better and probably keep the price reasonable for people here.

[burnsauto]

s13, i'd get one. just leave it a finish that people can polish it if they desired.

idea - instead of using harsh corners such as the c.s., and a'pexi do, maybe have something thats got some curves too it.. granted it would be hard to reproduce each time, but just throwing around ideas..

[Slidin240Wayz]

Shawn,

I can send you the stock S14 one if need be. We can work out the details.

that would be cool. that blocky ass CS one does look kinda out of place. im down for whatever is easiest though.

[BustedS13]

i like the circuit sports one. make something similar with good fitment and a great price, and we're talking.

[tknbkthrsdy4anfg]

I have a circuit sports one and if you can make it as good or better then theirs I will sell mine and buy yours.

[DrtyRat]

Would definitely buy if it wasn't priced as high as circuit sports .......

The thing is, why would they spend the time to make one that fits perfectly, just to sell it at a cheap price? Time is money. If any of you think that the CS is overpriced, then this might not be the right item for you. I personally think the CS, is very reasonable, considering a new oem plastic one runs 70 bucks. If the pricing were a little more than the CS one, but had none of the stated issues I would be in for one.
Oh, and remember Logan's quote:
Make sure you don't confuse perceived demand with actual buyers
You should do a group buy, or pay first, when the prototype is done, to see what the true demand is.

[bigOdom1]

id be interested in an s14 version with the built in breather but not so much in any others

[s14sport]

im also interested in S14 version of this too. definately in another color besides polished chrome blingatite. most likely bead blasted or flat black or something.

Well said. I agree, don't do it solely on "demand". Make people actually pay up first (of course, pending pics of the design/prototype)

[dropemlow]

i need a s13 one right now. so if your going to make this lets get it on the ball. if not im going to buy a cs one. and also would like to know a price and pic.

[S.Milone]

We intend on making other parts as well and have ideas. What other peices are you interested in? If it is something worth making to us we will do it.

[lonelydrifter]

I would buy one no doubt about it!!

[NiGHTS]

let me know when the group buy goes thru im in.

[sleepinsilvia23]

I mean i cant speak for everybodys interest but personally if you offered some other simple, resonable priced parts like radiator cooling panels or skid plates i would be interested in buying one. Cuz to my knowledge there arent very many companies that offer cheaper ones.

Just more ideas for you guys, and it would also work out well for me cuz in the near future i plan on coming to the shop and gettin an alignment and to hopefully check out the place.

[S.Milone]

Thanks for the Ideas. Def stop by the shop and check it out as well. Always have some cool cars. Are GS400 Race Car and S13 are pretty sweet as well.

[LongGrain]

im interested.

[steve_o1989]

Like mentioned, Radiator cooling panel and skidplate maybe heat sheilds for the master cylinder, some braces (fender, underbody) wouldn't be a bad idea. Really it depends on how involved you are willing to get with fabricating, the options are limitless if you let them be.

I would be interested in an overflow tank depending on the design.

[Mister.E]

one thing i would also be interested in is a heat shield for aftermarket manifolds on an SR20. need something to keep that master cylinder from overheating.

[Drifter Z]

S14 Aluminum Overflow Tanks??? I have never seen it.

[scottie]

I'd say keep it matte, or sandblasted finish

Polished looks a bit tacky (i.e imagine a big huge polished thing in a stock dirty engine bay), unless that's the theme of the engine bay

BINGO! Logan said it best. The sandblasted/unfinished aluminum has a real feel to it. It looks more custom and imo can go with anyone's setup. Let the end user decide whether to powdercoat or polish it. I agree that polished is a little too blingy.

Scott

btw - i need one so you can count me in.

[hotlavaflow]

I've been looking for one so let's get it going. S13 here. Don't want it polished either.

[Rnz520]

If you have a good price I am in.

[S14-vietusmc]

S14, dont leave us out....

[S.Milone]

Id like to glass bead blast them it will give it a cool look.

[lonelydrifter]

Do It! So I Can Buy One!!

[cdlong]

The s13 for sure. If people with s14 are interested enough we will make them one too. We are also tossing the idea around about adding a radiator breathing tank to it as an option.


i'd go for an s14 one but only if it adds capability. the s14 tank doesn't crack so there's really no reason to replace it (except bling factor). if you added a swirl pot that was pre-plumbed and was tucked away with the overflow tank, i'd be down for one.

[dropemlow]

whats the time fram we are looking at on this? i need to get one in the next month, no later.

[Joshua_S]

i need one like yesterday!

[thedecapitator]

count me in!!! i need one badly for s13!! im tired of getting a lot of used shit

[KiLLeR2001]

my plastic overflow tank has some cracks in it at the top so I'm due for a new one... s13.

[DALAZ_68]

i basically need something that fits without having to mod something...

preferably with a glass window on the side to view fluid level...
ive seen the ones with the indicator on the outside like a tube...doesnt look clean to me IMO...but i wont deny it works...

[midland300]

I'd interested in one for a s13.

[S.Milone]

Sounds good guys we are taking everyones replys into account. Thank You

[Mister.E]

any word on these ever being made or not?

[DALAZ_68]

har har

i wonder about this tooo

[Nerf]

I'm also very interested in one with a breather. Perhaps if you have access to a powder coating machine, add custom colors (for a few extra $, of couse) as an option. I'll take Yashio Factory pink :P . If the price and product are right, consider me a buyer! Hopefully we'll see a product come out of all this.

[w0nderbr3ad]

I am definately in the market for one. My current autozone one lacks support other than zipties.

[scottie]

I need one. If you can make one a little cooler than the others out there, im all for it. I have an S13.


Scott

[los_inc]

i would be down to get one my stock one has been developing a couple of hair line cracks so i'm due for a new one any day now
thanks again
-los

[krazydriver]

Figured i'd get this back up where everyone could see it.

I'm definitely down for an s13 coolant tank.
was leaning into the engine bay the other day.... got a bit too much weight on mine and cracked mine. Now i've got coolant leaking all over from it.
So an aluminum tank would be great!

[deuceforty]

im interested in an s14 one

[mifesto]

any update? i think mine has a tiny leak.

[INeedNewTires]

interested in s14 as well.... but wow must say after all these posts and stuff still no pics or design layouts?

[SILEIGHTY_DET]

are you intending on doing an overflow tank or a recirc tank in the factory overflow location ? if you are planning on a recirc tank then count me in . my apex one doesent fit right in the engine bay .

[LegitSeller]

can you guys make one that doesnt stay in the engine bay? like just a small bottle that goes in between the headlights. cause something i dont need in the engine bay is another huge piece of metal. like how fcs have it and you could just cover it with a cooling panel. if you can make that happen i'll buy one or just use a water bottle

[slidewayz350]

Possibly interested in one for a s13
