How to block PCV for catch can

What is the best method to block the pcv port for a catch can install? I took out the check valve, went to three different hardware stores and could not find a block of fitting with the same thread. 

What is the thread on this thing? I will order the proper fitting online.

Unless there is a better option 

Thanks

I can't tell you what thread you have but if you go to an engineering supply store or a hydraulic hose and fittings shop  they should be able to tell you what thread it is and supply a suitable fitting.

I have the same problem.
Googled and everybody said it's 1/4bsp. But it isn't!
This will screw in only 2 turns because the original part it is tapered.
The hydraulic shop ordered me the "right" one. Same thread as the valve, also tapered. But it screws in only one turn, because it's a little big thicker where the taper starts.

I will just use a good silicone end cap on the valve now.


Same issue here. A store specifically for fittings ordered me three different ones. None fit in. Insane!

I will cap it for now as well. Last resort is to cut of the thread part from the check valve and weld it to a bolt head

Just leave the valve there.

What you are installing is an oil-air separator. It effectively inserts between the exhaust rocker cover and the turbo intake. Everything else remains "factory".

Somewhere on this forum is a photo of my setup. Some people claim its not "pretty", but it works.

They aren't suppose to screw all the way in, the fact that it widens out and won't screw all the way in is what actually seals it 

go to Motorsport connections (or earls) and order one from them

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
