I'm getting my wizaired cai today. (ZZPerformance rocks by the way ) I have a 97 gtp, and I've heard stories about how people didn't quite relocate it right, or its heald up with tape, or they drilled the wrong holes, etc. Does anyone know of a tut for relocating the coolant bottle? Or can anyone tell me, is it completely safe to drill into a strut tower? Thanks guys.

Thanks man.
I got my zip ties all ready to go. I hope this operation is smoother than my maxima's.
Anything special about taking the cross-brace off? IE. If its holding parts together (or up), wouldn't I not be able to get it on as tight and thus not be functional? If I'm not making sense, I apologize.

Hey man, I know installing that coolant tower sucks! You will probably have a problem with that big fuse box, it got in my way . The next problem is the lower bolt for the coolant tank. Make sure you drill the hole in the right place, positioning the tank down and tighting the bolt is really fun too. You might want a friend to help out. But, the end result is much better than the previous coolant tank. My cap started melting from the heat where it was. And I had to move it anyway to install my fenderwell intake so the PCM laid flat. So good luck with the install
