I just ordered mine too. I was glad to hear they have them in stock now. Did I read that you have to modify this a little to allow the fuel to flow? Something a bout some pin not openeing or something. I'll see if I can find it again.

OK so I did more reading and found out that the fitting that comes with the adaptor is the problem. Gotta try figure out where to get the correct one.

I'm not too happy with my SPX adaptor, I can't get it to stop leaking for the life of me, yes I used nissan o-rings per all the other threads but it continues to leak out of the bottom. The fitting it comes with does not let fuel out becuase it has a pressure-stem in it like a tire would. You CAN remove that stem very easilly, I took 2 pins and unscrewed it and walla, the fitting now is hollow. good luck

Haha, well shiet, I was looking at that fitting and thinking there had to be a way to remove that stem. So you just used 2 pins huh? My azz spent 20 bucks on a new fitting from NOS. Oh well. Anyone need a fitting?

As for your leaking problem dude, that sucks. Did you ask for the right part number?

OEM O ring PN#16618-10v10

And did you replace both the one on the damper and the adaptor? Did you put some thread sealant on the fitting, I've heard it can leak from there as well. If you did all that I'm not sure what else the problem could be. Hope you get it worked out.

About to pull every hair out of my head.........

1st off i decide to do this 3 hours before going out tonight(friday)
2nd That GOD DAMN spx would not stop leaking for the life of me
3rd I tried 4 different times and the last time i tried i STRIPPED base where the bolt goes into, Finally i get fed up put the factory adaptor back on and had to nut and bolt the side i stripped thank GOD that it doesnt leak.........

I've spoke to various ppl and 75% of them said they had nothing but trouble and wound up just T-Tapping that fuel line.....Well im gonna give the adaptor another try on a HOLE DAY when i get one free, BUT for now NO n2o........

This SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you get the o ring from the dealer? Did you get another fitting or take the stem out of the spx fitting as stated above? Mine was leaking like crazy too, but I replaced the fitting and the orings and it worked fine. Try that, and let us know how it goes.

Yeah man it sucks, it's leaking from the bottom of the adaptor.. I"m starting to wonder if it's just because I have 2 fuel pumps and a FPR, so when I boost it puts too much pressure for the adaptor to handle and leaks a little... ( I did all of this for a fuel pressure gauge ). the worst part is when I go to take it off, fuel squirts everywhere even though I pull the fuse while the car is running... Any tips on how to get rid of the fuel before pulling it out?
