why would he still need them if spacers are only for the 510cc?

Thats wierd, when i called PE this morning a rep said the manual was for the 510cc. He also stated that the 380cc were suppose to be brown and not blue but stated that 380cc wont need the spacers period.
I also bought my injectors used and the person that sold them to me assure me that it never came with any. So ill find out this wkend when my injectors get put in (crossing fingers).

the spacers off the 380s (which.. came with the kit) slide on perfect to my JDM STI injectors (cough cough Denso 550s) that is going into my engine build.
the thing is.. if PE 380s dont need the spacers... why include them ? i though they were necessary to maintain proper distance away from the chamber....
who did u talk to at PE USA?
GOod GOd.. foh sho i will be mfg my own via my uncle's CNC shop if they're that much.
group buy anyone? ;P

When I puchased the PE 380 injectors it did come with those bottom spacers. I found no way on how they would fit on my 350z. When I talked to PE USA (there phone if any one wants to ask 949-752-0645) I was told that the bottom spacers were for a different car application and not to be used on the Z. So they were thrown away and never installed.

UPDATE!!!
I started my car today and fuel flowed all over out of the engine, the only thing i can point to is my injectors. Either the stock gaskets used with the 380cc injectors don't work or i need the spacers or a combination of both!!!
I think im going to order a set of all of them tomorrow and have them overnighted. Time is of the essence! I have school starting on monday...IN SAN DIEGO....I'm in Sacramento right now and i've already flown down there once, this is getting expensive.

Don't say I never did nothing for you FYI those part numbers and pics are also in the install structs HERE
School starts for me in SD on monday! crap.

I also contacted PE directly today and they said theyre supposed to call me back at 6pm . That's pretty late, i was hoping to have this stuff overnight so i'd be here tomorrow but apparently that's not going to happen anymore.

Also i was told the stock o rings are fine. Problem is i broke one of the stock o rings. The stock bottom o rings are black with a teal stripe. When i removed the top o-ring (all black) it appeared to be the same exact o-ring, only minus that stripe so i used one of those with the PE injectors. Maybe this is my problem?

UPDATE:
Fixed the clutch problem
Removed the injectors AGAIN (PIA to take the intake manifolds off AGAIN) and noticed that the top o-rings that came with the PE 380cc injectors were VERY VERY worn in a few spots on a few of the injectors. One top o-ring that was on one of the PE 380s was so worn that it was close to wearing completely through the rubber at one point. I think this may have been my major problem. I removed these crappy o-rings and replaced them with some of the o-rings pulled off my stock injectors. They feel and look to be the same exact o-rings on the stock injectors as on the PEs.
Once again the adaptors and spacers should be here tomorrow, so if all goes well i should be driving the car. (I've said that like 100 times...it's getting old lol)
