New the site... Recently bought CPO 2013 G37... Coming from my rice rocket, this definitely is a step up as far as ride comfort and luxury
Sucks that it has that bumper "dent" but hopefully the OEM front chin spoiler will cover it up (came with the deal)... First mod I guess. I'll probably try and attempt to push it out but we'll see.
Lets see how long she remains stock Hahaha!

Race, repair, repeat.

Again I think everyone is in understanding of the whole ordeal that swapping asymmetrical tires on staggered wheels is kind of pointless and that we are on different wave lengths - the beauty of interpreting text. But it was pointed out that if someone, for whatever reason, wanted to rotate asymmetrical tires but had directional wheels than they would have to swap the tires left and right. (keeping the outside on the outside of course)
I think the moral of the story is if you want to be able to extend tire tread life due to camber wear than going with symmetrical directional tires will allow for swapping left to right in staggered setups.
Now let's move on to a topic like: Is the sky going to be blue and black or white and gold tomorrow?

It's an ARC combo can, part catch can part coolant reservoir indeed. It's a pretty slick piece, I think I have some other pics of it before install I'll post them either here or in my build threat when I get back from vacation. I picked it up as part of a JDM kick I've been on, picked up a couple more goodies and have one on the way.

You guys are getting beat up up there for certain. We've some ice and a little snow but nothing like up there. Spring should be right around the corner, I hope..

Some people see a difference of opinion as a direct and personal existential threat. Even more so, when the challenge is an interpretation of fact instead of opinion, the threat level is off the charts. It doesn't necessarily make those people sociopaths... But it's pretty close. Hell, we all have strong opinions ( ), and most of us here are fairly smart, or educated and relatively smart. And it's a car forum, after all. As was pointed out the other day, car forums are serious business best played with a pipe or a pint.
The best thing here is for everyone to get to a point where we no longer care. Pick your poison, thicken your skin, and find your Zen.

At this point, I'm liking what I'm seeing. The whole catch-can thing never spoke to me as anything necessary, and only something to do if I were looking real hard for a relatively inexpensive mod to play with. However, integrating the catch-can with the coolant reservoir, with those two pair of hoses (braided FTW, no less)... damn, there's something really appealing about it. Something almost steam-punk, if you follow my meaning.
My concerns:
- Having a solid box where you can't see coolant level.
- How to empty the catch can.
- How crude-looking the welds are.
Awesome find, Chris. Can't wait to learn more about this.

I was trying real hard to find this last night, and came up empty, with a sense that this was a JDM thing, (because of all the Japanese, LOL) Yes, please, I would very much like to see more detailed pics. More importantly, retail access. Here or in your build thread, either one.

Retail wise this was purchased direct from ARC as part of a group buy which made it a lot more affordable though still a bit pricey. The guys I was dealing with just opened an on-line auction site for JDM parts, theres been a couple TK CF covers, TK sills, JDM tails and the like. I'll try and find it, easiest to find the on FB though JAP Auction Parts I think it is. Current pricing on the combo can looks be $700 w/shipping.
