M12 x P1.25 is the one for Nissans. (They include a fitment chart on the web page.) It's the red one, in case you're wondering about color. I just did my first oil change this past Saturday and can confirm that it fits perfectly.

Btw, I also discovered that Courtesy is selling magnetic plugs -> CourtesyParts :: Magnetic Oil Pan Plug (But they're not a pretty color like the Kics ones.

)
