IF you haven't got one bolted on it is the two bolts on the bottom of the chassi rail at the very front.

ignore the model the chassi rails a near identical between the WD21 and the R20

On my 2.7, It had a pig tail thing, bolted to the chassis, on my 3.0 it's got an eye type affair.

Ah ok, I'll go have a look in a bit.

Will also snap some Picts of my Tirfor too now the weather is nice

the hooks are cast and rated, the plate and eye type are not and most 4wd clubs here will say not to use them when on trips.

No pics...

but I can advise some info...
There are two threaded holes in each chassis member, and the tow point is normally on the driver's side.

The hook is a pig tail hook.
The same fixing points are used for the front bull bar when fitted.

I fitted a front tow bar to mine, for when launching the boat.

At a guess I think the bolts are M12 x 1.25 but that is from memory.
Anyway, the same as Picasso wheel bolts

The 2.7 had the same as Bud's picture, only the one though.

OK here you go Alex a pic of mine, Nissan penny pinched after 2003'ish & stopped fitting the pig tails

I managed to get a pig tail from the scrap yard just need another one for the other side now. Anyway if you look at the pic you'll see 2 loop hanging down these are the tie down points but Nissan made the drivers side longer on the later models I think to act as a recovery point
