...that's an awful long vacuum hose that can break, crimp, rub a crack in it, etc. etc. Smaller canister mounted to the firewall is way safer imho. There are two plugs in the firewall by the brake booster...popping those out and crafting a bracket to mount the tank is pretty easy. Just my two cents.

The hoses are routed very safely and they're super thick. This particular canister was much larger than I anticipated and it really doesn't fit anywhere else easily. Perhaps if it works then down the road we can find a better canister/mounting solution or at least braided hose. First things first though gotta make sure it even helps. If not then its going up on a shelf in my garage anyway.

It'll work.

If we were talking about women I might agree that bigger (giant canister) is better and longer (12 foot hose runs) is better. That Summit thing looks like a football sideline Gatorade jug.

Another concern having it in that area is an incident involving the fascia that would render it useless ... unhook that line from manifold someday and check the pedal feel. It'll feel like a 1968 Rambler loaded with fat peeps and would take two legs and all your might to budge it a little.

Added: I should say I "hope" it works. I am not certain it does yet myself.

They are pretty much all the same from my brief searching. If anyone knows of a slimmer one post a link! Perhaps if we create a demand someone will manufacture a 370Z specific kit! Should be fairly easy to design/build for a manufacturer.
