HELP!! NOS Install Problem w/Fuel Pressure Saftey Switch

I have a 96 SE 5 spd, and I'm installing the 50 shot kit of NOS on my max. I ordered the general 3.0 liter kit from JC Whitney for the Max. Anyways, I'm stuck at where or how to mount the fuel pressure safety switch. There is no "Schraeder valve" on the Maxima, atleaset not that I could find. I also do not see the alternative "banjo" method. Please let me know where or even if it is mandatory to mount the switch. Thanks!

YES! It is MANDATORY to install the FPSS. This way, NOS will not spray if you do not have enough fuel pressure to support it.
Spraying NOS with low fuel pressure will cause your engine to run lean and possibly DETONATE!!

It's not MANDATORY....I don't have one hooked up on mine..and it's worked great for 5 months....I make sure it doesn't run lean though...

FPSS is optional. FOr a 50 shot you do not need the FPSS installed. Didnt you post this thread in the Gen Forum? Anyways, i replied to your other thread.

Okay! Let me rephrase:
MANDATORY if you care about SAFETY
