Oil filter thread size

Whats the thread size of oil filter on a GTiR? Im fittin a oil cooler & I need to get a centre bolt that go's threw the sandwich plate & then screw the filter on... But cant find the thread size?

And anyone know where I can get 1 from before weekend? Cant find 1 anywhere

Iv all ways heard there a bit of a waste of time on our cars gaz? Any reason for it?

3/4UNF, the sandwich plate & centre threaded fitting is same as the VW ones such as golf gti corrado. I think the mocal part# for whole sandwich plate thermostatic was OTSP1-3/4UNF

I burst the pipe on my oil cooler by missing a gear change once took a hole second for my oil to leave the engine killed the engine there and then. Have been told dont bother unless your taking it on the track and its 30plus degres

Its just on hot days realy... 5 mins of boost on a country road or chasing someone thdn temps start rising, so was going to fit 1...

Cheers Mr B

A lot of people don't need them & in uk it not that hot so can manage without.
decent thermostatic one with say a 230mm 16 row cooler & decent hoses should be trouble free. I only use hydraulically crimped fittings on decent braided hose from local hydraulic shop as burst points & leaks tend be unheard of that way.

Which one is the right one please?? Need to order it

From what i gather it depends on what size hoses you have to your cooler as to which one you go for ????

I wasn't sure if that was anything todo with the screw inside the sandwich plate, how would I even measure them?

from your other thread you say you already got the plate & only want the centre bolt which is as linked below from MLR

If you do need whole plate & already have pipes then you will need measure fittings they have & match them, use vernier caliper & thread gauge or test on some fittings or get a local shop check them.

I've checked the sandwich plate and it's not thermostatic and that's what I'm after....I'll have to get them measured up, cheers b

does the other plate have fittings that could be swapped if needed to new thermostatic plate !
Is indeed best check but in worse case scenario you probably going have enough parts between what you got & get to make it all fit .

Right, I have the thermostatic sandwich plate, and the fittings to connect it to the the pipes for the cooler are correct, so that's fine, however I bought it with the 3/4 unf center adaptor, ive also bought a genuine Nissan oil filter (sunny n14 turbo it says on the add) and it won't thread onto the adaptor as its the wrong size, is the filter wrong or this 3/4 unf jobby?

3/4-16 Unf is filter thread I think

This is the oil filter I've received, is this right?

Looks like it whats it say on the side of the box

So now I'm wondering why doesn't it bloody fit! I got the 3/4unf thread as stated

I brought a filter off eBay and was a bag of sh1t although it said on the box no way would it seal. Stick with genuine nissan or blueprint no and looks like it is genuine from the link so god knows wht it wont fit.

I think the car just hates you Pete maybe best to leave it alone lol

Tom, it doesn't hate me, it loves me, but she's a high maintanence bitch that's pissing me off, I just want the oil filter to fit on the God damn thread

So dose that filter fit the existing screw thread

That I don't know yet Johnny, but I'll find out in a few days when I go to the garage to the car

How did you get on with it .... did you manage to check the old filter on the new thread and visa versa ????

No I got the dash out today but couldn't be bothered to do anything else, I will check this week though

What you ripping the dash out for ????

Having it flocked, also fitting some new gauges so it'll make that easier
