Oil feed line?

[DSM1.8T]

I am trying to make an oil feed line for a 9b off a stealth and I cant find the thread pitch for thye oil feed line. Does anybody know what it is? I allready went to a flud hose and fitting store and they said they couldnt match it with anything. So any help would be appreciated.

-I don't know how similar it is between the 1.8L vs the 2.0L, anyway, I made my oil line with brass hose barb from home-depot, the one that screw into the oil filter housing is 18tpi(standard), I don't know why a standard size thread fit in a metric car but it does.

Pipe thread, isn't it?

what is the thread into the oil sender unit then standard pipe, or metric like the oil feed?

what about the other end? where I tap the oil feed from? I was going to use an oil T fitting off the pressure sender unit. What thread is that?

-You tap it here . remove the allen bolt(tight), I use a brass hose barb that can fit a 3/8"ID oil hose, the thread is match perfect.

-Ok, this is what I did for the oil inlet line, I hack off the banjo fitting from a spare OEM line with ~2.5" of tube still on it, I then use a hose flaring to to make a bead at the end so the rubber hose won't slip off. run a 3/8" ID hose to the small oil cooler(Off a Honda Prelude) mounted to the front, then an exit or entrance hose to the oil filter housing as shown from the above photo.
-I also found a good size oil cooler for a 300Z, so I replace the OEM oil cooler with an remote adaptor, run hoses to the oil cooler mounted where the fog lamp used to be at.
-If you're as cheap as I'm and go with oil cooler off juck car, you should rinse/ soak it in gasoline prior of using.

right, it all makes sense, but I have a 1.8 not the same oil set up as you.
