Problem finding? Normally on the bolt. Problem finding where to buy? Nissan. Problem taking it off? I use a small knife and insert it gong from side to side until it comes off. Once loose, you can use a pair of plyers to hold it and spin the bolt off of it.
OK, I guessed as much as I could.
If that didn't answer your problem, then perhaps you could provide a wee bit more info??

Although I have quite a few of them in my garage, I never actually replaced one on the 48 oil changes that I did myself on my 06G. Wiped the oil drain hole with a rag after the old oil stopped dripping and just put the drain plug back in and tightened the plug slightly with my 14mm socket wrench
Always checked for leaks and never had any by reusing the washer.
It was a PITA to take off the washer.
To me it is one of those things that is work a few seconds and a few cents for the piece of mind knowing the oil will stay in there.
With the copper washers it is fairly easy to see any deformation or impregnated grime in them.
I have a quick replacement strategy. I use a strong magnet to mount the plug, a razor blade to free it from the face of the plug and a pocket screwdriver to move it up far enough to use a pair of side cutters to snip it.
