NE1 removed PCV on passenger side valve cover?
#182
No it's a straight thread, not NPT, with an O ring as I recall for the seal. I want to say 22 mm but perhaps that is just the socket size. Not really sure how you'd determine even if you get a spare PCV valve ($12) or take out the stock one to measure. It's hard to find fittings that size that are straight thread metric to try out... I would just buy the part from local Nissan dealer and drill out the back side. The internal valve component just falls out and you have a nice plastic fitting.

I removed the PCV completely and retapped the hole with a 3/8" pipe thread tap, and installed a 5/8" barb.
Tomorrow I'm redoing it though, gonna ditch the rubber tubing and barbs and go with -10 AN fittings and SS line. I'll be sure to get some pics

thanks Chris - do a write up if you can, I probably will just copy it if it works for you
question - any opinions on the best way to convert the valve cover to an AN? Or is it not even possible?

ah that's cool...I assume you mean the one up front? Does the corresponding driver side front nipple unscrew too? any idea if the rear one (that faces the firewall) does as well?
thanks guys - I got my catch can yesterday (really nice too and not expensive) and I'm going to map out the braided hoses today

I've been pretty busy lately, but I managed to find time pull the valve covers and drill/tap for the -10 into 1/2" pipe fittings.

quadcam did that. prolly not worth the hassle though. thats just to equalize pressure between the heads. simple breather there or the stock hose is just fine.
some people T that and attach it to a catch can under vacuum. that would work, but AN fittin and than just to a nonpressurizes catch can is just spending money

I agree, just dumping the hoses underneath the car is the simplest way to go, but I don't want a ton of oil/sludge building up everywhere. Plus the SS lines into the catch can looks sooo nice
