Pop off valve

OK, simple question: Where exactly is the pop off valve and what does it look like? As soon as I can find that out I will get that sucker outta there!
Thanks for the help!

Wow, man...nice Z. The pop-off valve is on the intake kinda in line with the EGR valve and ACC valve. It kind looks like a can. Good luck.

Hey, thanks! I found the web site where that pic came from and it was extremely helpful!
I like your Z too! I dig the Panasport wheels. Check out my gallery to see what a POS my Z was.
Thanks again for the help!

I just removed mine and put an HKS adjustable one in today. A word of advice, make sure you have access to the biggest freaking crescent wrench you have if you're going to remove it. (wise advice from RatedZ) It wasn't hard to remove, but just difficult to get a good bite on the nut. Anyway, you'll also make it a lot easier on yourself if you move the brake cylinder heat shield and that little brass line next to the popoff valve out of the way.

Kel...no those are not Panasport, there American Z racing wheels. Crazy huh? I wish they made a chorme panasport wheel for show. I'll check out your galley later on tonight.
John, man you didn't have a problem with getting that pop-off valve off? I tried it once...it was a no go. I got bloody knuckles before giving up. One day I'll try again. I'll hit you back on your e-mail laters.

Chris, yeah the popoff valve actually came off pretty easy for me. I just had to use a crescent wrench that was about 1 1/2 feet long. Thing was huge. Surprised my dad even had a tool that size. Woulda came in handy when those thugs tried to steal my bro's stereo. I'll post the pics this weekend in my imagestation folder. Lates.
