one things for damn sure I'll be retapping that bich for NPT when i add one as straight thread doesn't seal unless you dope the crap out of it. Why the hell would nissan even use it? the thread form on tappered thread pinches off as you screw it in creating a seal that is air tight. straight thread can't do this so you need to put teflon tape or pipe dope on it to make it seal FYI.
