Broken Breather/PCV Valve?

Sorry this is a little late

You wont find a direct part number for that as you have to buy the whole intake tube assembly to get that little breather.

I just went to Autozone and bought a PVC valve similar to this Motormite/PCV Valve Elbow (47032) | AutoZone.com

and just reconnected the hoses, I have had no problems after 10k+ miles.

I would also suggest going to a junk yard and pulling one off of a 350z, as they have this same part. Nissan still wont sell it alone, 350z or 370z you have to buy the whole assembly.

Could we get a working generic part number from someone who's done this?

Bump from way back. My elbow broken clean at the valve cover. Are the OEM ones thread or push in? Can't even tell to figure out how I'm going to get the broken piece out.

It's push in with a little metal clip that holds it in place.

You need a needle nose pliers to pinch the connecting tabs so you have enough slack to release it.

I think one resonator box/breather connector (?) looks like an "L" (the one discussed in this thread) and is on the driver side and the other sort of has a "C" shape, is larger, and is on the passenger side.

I meant the actual PCV elbow that goes into the valve cover. There aren't any tabs or anything on it. I'll snap a quick pic of it when I get home. Just not sure how it fits in there so I can try and remove the broken piece appropriately without pushing it into the valve cover and be forced to remove the whole thing just to fish it out.

If its the plastic elbow breather attachment I think it has that metal pressure clamp/clasp thing on it (whatever it's called).

I don't think it even has an inner filter -- I'm not really sure what it does other than connect two hoses -- see diagram below. It shows the "L" shaped breather and clips that connect it.

If that's not it then I can try and identify it from a pic or diagram.
