Have searched to no avail. Any vendor/parts houses offer a black (plastic or aluminum) version of the Coolant Reservoir Tank for 07-08 model years?

Could investigate painting, leaving an indicator line for visual inspection, but have not looked into the right products for a quality, durable finish that won't erode the OEM plastic but I haven't yet.

No one sees it but me and its trivial but I just don't like that whitish plastic in my engine bay. Thanks in advance.

 

search this thread,

HR dress up any one?

there's a member on here that makes some really nice ones.

i bought one from him

 

The guy who sells those tanks username is: SxExCx
PM him and he can tell you all about the satin or polished aluminum tanks.


However, I'd also be curious about a Black ABS plastic tank, or another option.

 

Thank you fellas, found that username and dropped an IM ~10 min s ago.

 

 

Soho's looks like the catch can drains the oil back into the oil pan via the dip stick? That oil is diluted with fuel. I drain mine and it's the shitiest looking oil of the whole oil change. I don't want that oil being recirculated + it looks like it adds a bit of weight + how much coolant is in the overflow tank? I don't know, I can't see ****.
Proper paint & prep for like $15 (wrinkle paint, acetone & sand paper) and you can do the coolant/power steering reservoirs up in whatever color you want with oem reliability and having the option of leaving a window in each for level checks but you still gotta buy a catch can. Black wrinkle paint matches the rough side of the abs plastic air box in both color and texture. Got lucky

 

Did just that last September, still looks perfect after a year installed.

Yeah you did. Looks great. That's the way to go imo.

 

 

If you're going to buy it, you might consider filling one side up completely with something non-corrosive to aluminum to the top and let it sit for a few days to make sure the 2 banks are sealed from one another. I know Nissan has had their fair share of issues with coolant and engine oil mixing via a failed radiator/automatic transmission cooler combo, All it would take is a pin hole leak that is left unchecked for awhile.['
If the system they employed to drain the oil from the c.c. back into the pan is built into the system, I would plug that **** up.

 

Like the oem look. Painted my with Adh promoter and high temp engine enamel.
