Going to try and install my Skunk2 Spacer

Whats up guys, this weekend I'm going to attempt to install my Skunk2 Spacer on my G. I'm 16 years old but I've done some work on my old vehicle. I installed a throttle body spacer, new throttle body and a cold air intake. I'm not a complete clueless teenager, I'm pretty good at figuring stuff out and I actually enjoy doing these kind of things. I will have my step dad helping me, he's good a working on stuff. He replaced the whole front end on my Chevy. I've also watched a video on YouTube about a spacer install on a g35 & it didn't look that difficult.
I'm just wanting to know if the spacer is difficult to install and is there anything I should be careful with & is there anything special I need? I think I remember hearing about a fuel line adapter or something.

Thanks

I'm assuming you're talking about the plenum spacer? Piece of cake...take your time and don't pinch the oil filler rubber gasket as this seem to be the most common problem. There's no fuel line adapter or anything to do with the fuel line...you may be referring to the throttle body coolant line?

and one more thing, NEVER EVER touch the throttle body butterfly so you dont have to hassle with pedal relearn procedure stuff.

just follow the DIY, you'll be fine and just remember to torque it correctly.

+1, and be sure to rent an inch-lbs torque wrench if you don't already own one.

I did it last night & everything worked out great and my plenum spacer is successfully installed! Btw I took the throttle body off, played with it wot and everything. Put it back together and everything is still fine. I think the trouble everyone has with tb's is that they don't disconnect their battery. But everything is fine on my car & thanks for all of y'all's tips! Helped me a lot!
