I have a plastic piece on the inside door handle for the driver and passenger side that needs to replaced. What part would I need to order to get this fixed? Can I just order the broken plastic piece or do I have to order the entire door handle unit? For now, I just used a wire to hold the plastic piece in place.

first off that pic is huuuuugge! lol second, i believe its called the door rod holder. its a dealer part but you may be able to find it at a wrecking yard because i think the dealer only sells the whole door handle assembly. i cant find the link now but you can order it off nissan oem. i need the same part. kinda sucks not being able to lock your door from the drivers side lol

Get the metal one from z1 for the drivers side and if your needing the passenger side you will have to order a plastic one since they don't make it in metal unfortunatly, but they do carry both. I put the metal one in mine a while back pretty straight foward on installing. Pull the c-clamp out lift the broken plastic one off, put the new one on c-clamp back on and connect everything back up. That wire on yours is interesting.....

i've actually have the same problem, accept mine broken piece is the yellow part that is shown in your picture. the metal replacement on Z1 doesn't have that yellow part, should i buy it anyways?
