gu zd30 gearbox drain plug

[macca86]

Hi guys just doing some services. I bought my oils parked the car up slid under her to drop the gear box oil to find the drain plug seized. I tried rattle gun, breaker bars wd40 nut and rust remover anti seize I even fired up the oxy still could not budge.

Now after my hard work I've stripped the part where you insert the halfinch socket. Does anyone know where I can buy a new drain plug from as next weekend I'll be drilling and easy outing the drain plug so I'll need to replace the drain plug

I'd be going to Nissan for a replacement plug.

Weld a piece of steel to nut it'll come straight off.
Get one of those magnetic jobs if you get replacement plug.

We would have done so but welder of ours is at bigrigs house doing the panels on his sons car. Next week I will do something like that but need a new one as its too flogged out

I had the same problem with mine. I got a new one from Nissan.
I also welded a bar to mine rather than drilling it out. Have fun Macca.

cheers guys I'll ask Nissan or a wreckers and prepare to part with my left nut for it then. I once bought a part from them for my vl it was a little radiator hose and was 32 bucks for about 10 cm of 1 inch hose

Lending tools, A good thread for the future. At least you know where it is

[macca86]

Start a tool co op for all the expensive tools too.

so I finally got a chance to call up Nissan as wreckers wouldn't pass me one. $30.05 for the gearbox drain plug ouch but last thing to do before the forum meet.
