It depends on which motor you're talking about, IIRC the KA has the same thread pitch as the S13 SR. I got the info below from SRFiveTen from FA.

*S14 SR uses filters with 20-1.5mm thread.
S13 SR uses filters with 3/4"-16 thread.
B14 SR Sentra filter has 20-1.5mm thread.
B13 SR Sentra filter has 3/4"-16 thread.
*info from SRFiveTen

I hope your correct on this. Summit's kits start at $35 which is a ton cheaper than the $150 for the Greddy kit. (which I've heard has really short hoses) I'm tired of busting my knuckles when I change my oil!!!!

Now only if they had kits with braided lines. My engine bay needs somethin' nice looking....

yah, i wanna get the adapter, run a oil cooler and then get a remote filter set up from a older blazer from the junk yard, i think it might use the same size filter as a 350?

You could check by taking a filter to a hardware store and see which bolt fits in if you aren't sure.

Make your own kit, I'm going with Earl's components. I wouldn't pay more than $80 for the Greddy kit with the fake anodized hose-ends, I wouldn't even touch it. In some cases that I've heard about, the Greddy kit has some leaking problem.

You might as well go with the sandwich adaptor too, check out Holley's Earl's. Good luck.

3/4 -16 is the thread pitch for ka, it is same as ford v8 btw. Be sure when you get an adapter that it has a female end to mount to original threads. Some have male threads and this will not work with ka.

yes the summit kits do work i run a TC motorsports adapter on my S13 SR i no longer have the packaging or i would post the number my filter is now on the passengterside frame rail behind my ladder bar then add some more hose to run the iol up to the front of the car and you got an oil cooler ready setup
i think i spent a total of 250 for my relocation kit braided hoses and ends and a 12x12 B&M oil cooler

the reason i went with a relocation kit as opposed to a sandwich adapter is because getting to the oil filter on an SR is a bitch
