drain plug should be the same as other nissans. i dont know it offhand. for oil temp i used the nissport adaptor. http://www.nissport.comif i did it again i would just drill and tap the pan as the nissport is a big funky thing that does not fit well under the sr intake manifold. oh well, it was not made for rwd sr's.

I don't want a drain plug. I want to know what the threadsize is so that I can replace it with a temp sender. that way I won't have to tap the pan/trans.:thinker

u must be thinking autometer ones. I dont use autometer. and they do have ones that are drain plug senders. just got to know the threadsize to get the right sender.

the 5speed plug should be the same as the regular 240sx plug as they use the same trans(ka24de and sr20de(t)).
