oil drain plug

[hungryjoseph]

where can i get the oil drain plug for an s14 sr20? my plug is missing... i think it was from 3 hours of running it hard and it over heated. drove it today for a couple seconds and it had a tapping to it, so iturned it off and found out the oil is leaking and theres no plug or anything.

or Jiffy Lube forgot to tighten it down

go to the autoparts store and get one for a FWD SR, it should fit.

actualy i had my oil changed 10 days ago at my friend's shop, cus i was there and i was like why not. he had to do it for me though cus of insurance, but will any year fwd sr fit?

drain plugs are pretty generic, we have a box at work with like 10 differant sizes, and that is it.

PS, give your buddy a good slap to the back of the head, he forgot to tighten your drain plug, if I were you I would go make sure the filter is tight, just to be safe.

Your motor is toast... You had no oil drail plug meaning you had 0 engine oil and you ran the motor... damn that sucks.

That tapping noise you heard could mean some major damage done to your engine.

i actualy drove it for 5 - 10 minutes, stopped by at advanced auto, about a 3 -4 mile drive. then i just went inside and got coolant, walked out and found some fluidunder the car... soon found out it was oil then next thing i know it starts pouring. fromt he looks of it, it ha about 2 - 3 quarts while i drove it... could it be my valves tapping?>

Go to Nissan and get one for any year 240sx..And make sure to get the copper washer to.

any year ka plug fits the s14 sr oil pan?

[garagelu]

yea ka24de drain plugs are the same. Im pretty sure a lot of maxima, altima, etc will work also.

I had an incident with jiffy lube and they stripped out my drain plug on my greddy oil pan!!! So I drove my dads car down there and he (jiffy lube guy) ended up getting me one of those drain plugs that doesn't screw in. http://www.cgenterprises.com/d...r.htm

Scroll down to the bottom and it is the drain plug labled 1030

I personally like this way better than the stock drain plug. It never fully comes out of your oil pan so need to worry about losing it, and it gets tightened by hand and then a 1/4 turn more with pliers and thats it.

moral of the story, change your own oil, and I hate pan savers,

re tap FTW,

[hungryjoseph]

so i picked up the plug for a couple bucks, got a gallon of oil, and the car RUNS fine, but theres a huge thump when it turns on... like a clunk, any idea what that could be?

[ILikeMy240sx]

can you describe that clunk in more detail?

[1unar3clipse]

re tap FTW,

well that is, if its stripped.

[hungryjoseph]

can you describe that clunk in more detail?

it sounds like a clunk you get from a 2way. just one clunk though, or when two large, heavy pecies of metal hit each other under water, sounds sort of muffled, but the clunk gets quieter and quieter everytime i turn it on

yea i just had the same problem like 5 min ago u got a ka drain plug and it fit?

You might be OK, but you definitely need to learn the basics of engine mechanics to keep up with a swapped turbo engine. You may need to change your oil again soon to make sure anything is flushed out. Likewise, go get a magnetic oil drain bolt.
