I would recommend going to parts.nissanusa.com and searching that way. Then just search by part number on nissanparts.cc for the best prices. The Nissan USA website also shows you a quantity needed, pretty handy when ordering a bunch of grommets, clips, and screws. That site is showing 4 total part numbers for the various "HOLDER-ROD", and only 1 is currently discontinued.

Theoretically if looking for used you can match up by shape & color.

I just did a quick search for one of the part numbers, and found Dorman sells a door rod "assortment" kit. Also seems to indicate Toyota also used the same style clips. So that might help broaden your search if scouring a junk yard.

I usually go on Amayama first:

180SX:

zenki/chuki:
https://www.amayama.com/en/catalogs/...ight-1989-1421

body parts:
https://www.amayama.com/en/catalogs/...ht-1989-1421/6

front door lock & handle:
https://www.amayama.com/en/catalogs/...989-1421/6/600

The clips are all there, mouse over the parts to see the corresponding item highlighted. Then cross reference the part via Google search or a local dealer inquiry.

Edit: I also find that the parts diagram on Nissanpartsdeal dot com is better, it's a dealer out in Las Vegas.
