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

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
