Gensaiken Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 I was wondering if anyone knows where I could find one for an L-Series oil pan? I looked around online for one that would match and didn't find any results. All I found were replacement plugs. I figured that some one would make them for a 240z or 510. I believe the size was M16.4 - 1.33 Any information would be appreciated. :D Quote Link to comment
john510 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 If the oil pan plug is steel i believe you can drag a magnet over it 10 or 12 times and it will become magnetic.Ive done that to screwdrivers so the screw will stay on the screwdriver when you are in a hard to reach place.

datzenmike Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Get an old computer hard drive and take it apart. There two thin magnets in there kind of kidney shaped. Once loose they will snap together and are impossible to pull apart. You have to slide sideways and pry them apart. DO NOT GET YOUR FINGER BETWEEN THEM!!! They will severely pinch it. Just cut a piece from one and let it attach to the drain plug. Quote Link to comment
benzo Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 wonder if Kragen or o'reilly's may sell them as i may have saw some but not sure about threading but another option since the pan is steel grab a plug from a car like a honda for example and maybe well a bung threaded for the new plug over the hole of the stock drain hole. I know many people make magnetic plugs for hondas Quote Link to comment
Radim Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Try one of these. http://www.amazon.com/Wiha-40010-Magnetizer-or-Demagnetizer/dp/B00018AONE Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Yes the bolt is simply fine thread and the same as many other datsuns and nissan. For example, A-series uses same plug as L-series. * 11128-69200 PLUG DRAIN Thread Size: M16.4 x1.33 Under-Head Length: 12.00mm Head Size: 21mm Head Style: Flanged Hex Quote Link to comment
Gensaiken Posted March 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll look in to possibly magnetizing the drain plug my self. :) If anyone come across an L-Series drain plug let me know. It'd be nice to get a new plug thats magnetic. :cool: Quote Link to comment
