Rule of thumb with Nissan hardware:

8mm head = M5x.8
10mm head = M6x1.0
12mm head = M8x1.25
14mm head = M10x1.25
17mm head = M12x1.25
19mm head = M14x1.25

Other than the bellhousing bolts which are mainly M10x1.5 that's 95% of the engine, suspension, and chassis bolts/nuts you'll find on an S13 or S14.
