its under the intake manifold inside of the oil separator box.
It will help a lot if you remove the oil filter, without the oil filter on the pcv valve will be visible from underneath the car.

it's kind of a pain to do like zeeman said. You'll see it to the passenger side of the oil filter. It's on the side facing the filter on a black box

so the best time to change it is when i get a oil change right?

i'll check it out tomorrow, if i still cant find it, i'll take pics so u guys can tell me where is it

man.. just look to the passenger side of the oil filter.. theres only one black box beside it. Look for the pcv valve coming out of the side of it, they'll be a hose attached to it. You can't miss it.

I just did my GSR PCV, that was fun..

I got lanky hands so it was easy, unlike many have said.

- disconnect the valve cover breather hose.
- pry the pcv out with a big flat head.
- twist the hose till you can get long needle noses in to pull the clamp back.

gsr's are different, its actually in a pretty easily accessible spot...especially compared to the d16y7.

D16Y7's PCV valve, i have chjanged it, it took me almost half an hour, its right on top of the oil filter, i took it off from the top, there is very little space...
