Does anyone know whether there is a Fuji bayonet lens to Nikon bayonet lens mount adaptor made by anyone?
OT: Lens adaptor ~ ?

The Fujica X-Mount lens-flange-to-film distance is 45.5 mm. The Nikon distance is 46.5mm. This means that if such a mount were possible, it would have to depress the lens from the 'normal' mounting position by 1mm - or infinity focus would not be possible, only macro and relatively short distances. This is probably not possible in practical terms.
I have never seen such an adapter. In the case where one has a matched lens focus distance, and the adapter can be made to take up 'no' space, then adapters are possible. Hence, we see M42 and M39 adapters to all sorts of other cameras. The t-mount was intentionally made to allow many adapters to be used for just about every camera.
But most adapters gave up something to achieve mounting and infinity focus. For many, that meant they had to have manual aperture operation and no auto-focus, AE, etc.
I'm sorry to say I think you're out of luck with this quest. You might be better off selling one or the other (lens or camera) and buying into the 'system' of the other.
