This is mainly for those who have taken parts from a Silvia front clip… When installing an FMIC, the spot usually reserved for the windshield washer reservoir on the 240 is taken up by the piping. I know the Japanese S13 reservoir is slightly smaller than the USDM one, does anyone actually know the approximate size difference?

Jordan, you just have to bend the mount a little and drill a second hole in the top mount of the resevoir to move it farther outwards. It shouldn’t be a problem to fit it in if you are using any popular FMIC like a GReddy or HKS.

Zip tieing it is a little bit half assed considering it’s easy to bolt it up with solid hardware. 😉
