If you're talking about the plastic "pop rivets", I get mine from my favorite body shop. The last batch I got was fifty cents a piece for a handful (14).

If I can't get at it, what or how great is the harm in just leaving the clip in there to eventually work it's way out? Here's the link to those fastener clips; from Z1: OEM Trim Clip 09321 |

I haven't taken my shroud off, but I hear it's a pretty easy job - 10 bolts/screws or so. Look at the DIY for changing oil.

There's actually a flap that is only a very small portion of the undershroud and only requires 4 bolts to remove instead of the 10+ bolts. This might be easier to try first if you can get your arm in there to reach around for the lost fastener - if not, you're already on your way to removing the undershroud Just make sure you do this when the car hasn't been operated in a while - last thing you want is to burn your arm on something really hot.

Question: I assumed I didn't have SLU issues the first two times my Z failed to start because re-charging/replacing the car battery started the car. Now, on its third failure to start, I can't get it into ACC, which assumedly means SLU problems. Is there a reason why disconnecting and replacing the car battery could have worked before, but not now?
BTW, nice compilation of symptoms below SouthArk, thanks. Quote:

I'd try rapping/beating on the SLU until you can get the car into ACC/ON, then pull the fuse (or install a harness or cut the wire). You're welcome.

Lift straight up. You may need to stick your hand underneath and guide the wire bundle past the bracket.

Reach under on which side? Closest to the battery or on the shorter sides of the fuse box? Its a tight squeeze around that fuse box. |

The bundle comes into the IPDM from the bottom. IIRC, I stuck my arm down the left side (toward rear of car). The bundle is not very flexible, but it's not too bad.
Are you sure the tabs on the back of the IPDM are clearing the bracket? Try pulling upward on the bottom of the IPDM while releasing the tabs.

it is on the other side of the battery by the fender in a pretty big black box that is pushed down by the fender secured by 2 black clips.
