Hey guys i have a 200sx with vg30 and when i did the oil pan gasket i broke the dipstick can't find a new one. Is there any other dip sticks i can use or does any one know how long the oem one is?

I would imagine that any Z31 dipstick would also work for you. Is it on the left side of the motor?

I all ready worked with the dealer on this part non in the us. I was told the pan on the vg30 in the 200sx and the z line is different due to frame. This car hates me. its the wifes daily driver and it always has problems. just over heats when ever it wants and i have also replaced every thing in the cooling system. for some reason its filling the overflow box not sure why yet
