Well it took a lot of force but I got it on. Once I got it half way on it spun on easy. I guess its ok as long as I change my own oil every time. Seems odd to me that it just doesnt spin on though.

 

The beginning thread just might have had a small burr or was rounded a bit. shouldn't be an issue going forward.

 

Glad you got it on there! Did you take pix of it installed?

 

The threads might not be cut as pricely or cleanly as OEM. But, if its not binding, and you can spin it on my hand, I suppose its ok.

 

The seller got back to me. He said he just tried one on a 350z and it went on like butta! Hes sending me a new one. Man what a great ebayer!

 

Awesome news man. Let me know what happens.

 

I just bought this too! Thanks for the heads up.
Will take pics once its installed. Much better looking than the greddy t setup.

 

I installed my adapter and a K&N HP-1008 filter yesterday and it went on with ease! BTW, what are our oil temps supposed to be at? Mine was running around 230F yesterday. I also have a Vortech so I know that will probably heat the temps up a little.

 

what???

230 F? that seems very high. at cruising, my oil temps are around 140. it may creep as high as 190, but i rarely see 200 during normal driving. i have the APS ST.

wonder if it has to do with the location of the probe. in either case, that oil temp seems a bit high.

 

Seemed high to me too, but I don't have a clue what it is supposed to be. I dont know how the APS ST is with the oil line, but the Vortech uses oil from the engine. This may cause it to run hotter than a N/A or turboed car that has a self contained oiling system. It did only creep up that high once, but it still runs around 190-200F.

 

The location of the probe will make a BIG difference ie: 40+ degree difference. If you see temps go much higher be concerned. Check your true coolant temp via an OBDII tool like a pocketlogger or cipher and see what types of coolant temps you are seeing in contrast to your oil temps
