I discovered a broken part, which I am having trouble identifying online. It is connected to the left hand air intake hoses, right side if you are looking down at the engine. I think it is some kind of crankcase breather, and it looks like a small master cylinder but I know it is not a fluid holder. The neck attached by clamps to the intake has broke off the body of the part itself. The part is NOT the resonator. The broken part sits right next to the oil fill cap and the resonator snakes off lower and below the snorkel.


Can I drive with this part broken? I am on a road trip tomorrow.

Looking at the infinity web site, I can find the drawing, but not the part number.

Anyone know what it is called and where I can get one (without having to buy the whole assembly)

Thanks
David

Check out this diagram. Look at the right snorkel. Drivers side. See the rectangle part coming off the snorkel to the left? that is the broken part. I think it is a breather to the valve cover but not positive.


I am on a road trip tomorrow and I am worried.


Thanks

350z guys break that alot. Its not sold separately either. No idea if its dangerous to drive but i beleive it equalizes pressure in the valve cover.

 

Mines been gone for about a year, I made my own hose to attach it back to the valve cover, Its a blow by recit hose,

 

Pretty sure I don't have one either after getting aftermarket intakes I just bought the Z1 hoses and cut them to fit

 

I am on a road trip. Drove thru all the crap weather yesterday. Should I tape over the holes?

What do you think?

 

I don't know about taping over the hole. I would stop off at auto zone or a parts store to see if they have a universal hose that fits then cut it cause right now you got a vacuum leak I think
