Hose Problem

[MISAIRU]

I have discovered this broken hose in an attempt to fix my boost issues. It appears to be linked from the intake plenum to the rocker cover case? It looks like a difficult problem for a novice to fix. Anybody had to deal with this before?

thats your PCV valve, fit a new one and plug it back in. they are pretty cheap

Thanks Simon-R32, I'm unable to PM, so I'm guessing this is a common part that is readily available from Repco? or SuperCrap Auto? Yeah it's a bit of a lame question, thanks for your help!

DO NOT get one from a wrecker, always replace this part with a new one, 2nd hand ones are too brittle.

i doubt supercheap and repco would have it, you may need to go to a private parts shop and they will usually sell you a part that will fit, thats where i got mine, fits nice and snug. otherwise just go to a nissan parts dealer.

if you're going around to private parts places i suggest taking the PCV (the dark plue part) and taking it with you so they can get one to fit right. after that its a case of putting the new seal into the rocker cover and sliding (forcefully) the PVC into it.

also, make sure all of the rubber came out when it broke, otherwise you will have some in your head.

highly unlikely you'll find a new one anywhere except nissan itself

[Simon-S14]

measure the diameter, it's highly likely a VL or R31 RB30 one will be the same, if so then local anywhere

to me the pcv valve looks okay its the rubber that is broken. you can buy the rubber from nissan for $21

i agree

last person to touch that gasket/gromet put it in backwards - the conical section goes inside the cam cover (might get away with just swapping it back to the correct direction)

Thanks for all the help, to update you, I have ordered a new rubber grommet through Giant Nissan for about $26.
