I had the same problem with mine - the Circuit Sports Reservoir does not line up! Also mine started leaking where the clear tube/gauge screws into the reservoir. It's a shame, it looks beautiful, but horrible fitment and quality. I would recommend to people the Weapon R Coolant Reservoir instead.
I would assume you could (but you know what they say about assuming.) Ithink it's probably the same flange a Nissan uses. I will check my Blitz cap from my radiator tomorrow. If it works then a Nismo one should too, cuz they are all for Nissan.
I could have, but it's not structural,so it'll be ok. Now that it's in, you can't even see. The real point is that it should have lined up properly to begin with. It may be aftermarket, but it's not rocket science to make a tab line up. Plus others have had the same issues.
Dope vid! Make more!

Mine didnt line up at first either, so i just bent the mounting bracket a little big and it fit. No drilling needed for me.

Can you use a nismo radiator cap to replace the cap on the reservoir?

Is this only for s13? I want one for the s14! It also looks a bit heavier

The radiator cap fit from the radiator onto the reservoir. So yes the Nismo one should fit.

you could have used or make a bracket for the tab that didn't lined up instead of driling through sheet metal.
