Snapped (Earl's) oil fitting on the block. What's the size/pitch? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

S13 SR20DET black top with stainless oil and water lines to a non bb t28.

1. I recently changed out the gaskets on my T28 set up and accidentally snapped the oil feed fitting from my block to the turbo.

2. The line is okay, and I got both broken ends out of the motor and turbo feed line.

3. I bought 3 different metric ones, and none of them fit, so I'm thinking it's standard.

4. It's not stripped because it still threads in fine.

5. What is the fitting to the motor size/pitch thread?

I'm assuming SR so M12x1.25, usually to -3, -4 is a bit harder to get a hold of.

Oops updated info with set up.

I used 12x1 12x1.25 and 12x1.5 none worked.

That hole strips stupid easy, any chance its been re-tapped by someone else before, maybe to a different thread size?

try 3/8s NPT or 7/16s NPT with a -3 or -4 an male to male fitting. But go to a hardware store first and get a cheap 3/8s NPT and 7/16s NPT fitting before you buy the an stuff. Thats only if you believe its standard

I'm using a -3 to 7/16" -24 inverted flare brake fitting. Most after market lines seem to be a -4. So make sure to measure.

It ended up being this size.

Turns out I got two 12x1.5 and received no 12x1.25
