Default Pics of your catch can location?

I have a Saikou Michi catch can, i know how to connect it up, but i'm really struggling to find a good location/method to mount it.

The only real space i can see, is possibly between the engine and strut tower on the passenger side, but there is no clear/easy mounting point there.

Where have you mounted your catch cans? any pics?

Hmm, that's a kind of squat can, but it's the area i'm wanting to put it, well, if possible, there isn't really any other spaces around.

No one else running a catch can?

It seems one of the hardest things to find pictures of for the 350z!

I mounted mine on the front timing cover where the bracket on the front coolant bypass hose was. I deleted the hose so I had space for my can. I will post a pic as soon as I get home.

this may help. Keep in mind my plumbing is a little different. There are plenty of threads for catch can plumbing.

Here is a better pic of where it's bolted to. I'm using a fuel pump bracket to hold it on. I'm going to have work bending the bracket more to match up the holes but no one knows unless they look down at it.

I had nothing in that space, so a friend of mine suggested the kit from Home Depot. It works, and that's what matters. I just empty it out when it gets close to being full.
