New PCV valves in. I didn’t have replacement pipes, and managed to get the old pipe off without destroying it.
Different story on passenger side. Had to cut that one off annoyingly.
Got the new valve in and have ordered new Nissan pipes for both sides.
There was a lot of oil in both pipes so will swap them both out. Will be a few weeks before it arrived though as it’s coming from Japan and they’re on a weeks holiday!
Also replaced my air intake hoses with some lovely looking silicon Mishimoto ones. The old ones were is really good shape still to be fair but the new ones do look tidy!

garage called today, emmissions are out because of pipes at the back of engine conencted wrong/going to nowhere
only thing i can think of is the EGR. (unless anyone thinks anything else)
now the EGR solenoid is removed from the car, and the take-off on the side of the engine is blocked off.
but the EGR valve itself is still there on the back of the engine.
will this casue a vacuum leak? or will it be re-dundant as there is no solenoid/pipe from the engine going to it
