No, you can not plug it, there needs to be a T in that location, the rear side should go to a catch can, and then back into the whose on the rear of the block, the front needs to see a pre turbo, post MAFs vacuum source.

get a mini air filter to put on the side of the tee going to the intake. all that hose is for is to venilate the head. so a mini filter should work

from looking at engine bay pictures i think you would just run the hose to the can then and then the can has vent hole in it.but dont take my word on that

DO NOT DO THIS, Nissan put that hose there for a reason, this is not a 350 small block, you need vacuum inside the crankcase, under normal engine operation the PCV valve does that, but under boost it cannot, the vacuum created by the intake takes over that duty.

Breather filters belong on Hondas and Muscle cars, bring it back and do things the right way, it will keep your crankcase cleaner.

Initially I was feeling in a generous mood so I answered without pointing out the search button. Once Mr breather filter gave his 2 cents I felt I needed to clarify what the correct way to do things was.

Is using the search button really as difficult to use as many make it seem?

Sometimes I can't seem to find anything when I search, but computers aren't really my thing so it's probably just me.

i had no idea what it was or what the parts were called that were connected to it so using a search was basically pointless

not to add to the confusion but when installing an aftermarket catch can should it go in place of the old catch can or coming off the front of the T?
