Default Mounting spot for Meth on 350zR

Yeah, I posted here, because frankly the convertible section straight up is like a ghost town, and I reeeeally don't expect anyone to even know what a methanol system is(over in the vert section).
So where is a good mounting spot for this thing (no I don't have a kit yet, and probably won't order one until I know where I will mount it)? I was thinking in the rear glove compartment behind the Passenger seat, but wasn't sure if I would be able to route the lines out of there.
And yes trunk is out of the question (for you spoiled coupe guys, the trunk is tiny enough as it is).
I need some outside creativity for this one. help!
Thanks.

Can you use the space of the washer fluid or do you use that/it is gone?

I just installed my alkycontrol meth kit today and I mounted the very large pump on an angle under the drivers side end of the crash bar. I fabbed up a bracket for it so I could mount the pump like that. There is plenty of space back there. I'm using the factory washer tank to hold the meth. Pics to come.

Same pics from my other thread..

As long as your tank is above the pump, it dosnt really matter where your put it. The pump is not gravety fed, but it does help with reaction time when it starts spraying, that way it dosnt have to suck the liquid out.

It came with the oil cooler kit that I bought...it's thicker than the typical cheap stuff they sell at auto parts stores, but I should probably get myself some steel-braided oil lines eventually...

as a guy who owns a 350zR, I used my windshield washer fluid tank for my meth and actually put my pump in the same place as my friend 350z006 it all works out if you use the windshield washer fluid tank, plus you get a nice indicator when it has to be refilled
