Because of the very short difference between the Leica-R and Nikon F mount register this adapter would act like a short extension tube so you'd lose infinity focus. 2) unscrew the optical unit of the lens from the focussing unit and remove the thick spacer ring. Re-install the optical unit and you get infinity focus back on your Nikon. To convert back to Leica-R, put the spacer back in and remove Don's adapter. A minute or two at most.
