As it appears your from the Netherlands, I'll forgive your not knowing this:

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country's armed forces. The holiday, is observed every year on the last Monday of May.

NICOclub is staffed by unpaid volunteers logging in from their home computers (and many are on holiday). I'm sorry, but it may take a few days for the right person to find your post and reply, so you'll just have to be patient.

Wish you all best holidays and the best for all of you, and i will be waiting for your reply.

Best Regards,

Found this instantly on Google search for '1998 Maxima PCV' search.

If you are doing the typical inline catch can, you want to remove the hose from the PCV on your valve cover. Then connect your PCV to the "inlet" end of your catch can.

Connect the other end ("outlet") of your catch can to wherever the PCV hose originally connected (opposite end of the PCV itself, obviously).
