does the bit of the key you have left have any numbers or letters on it? If so you may be able to get a spare key from a Nissan dealer.

Otherwise you might be able to get the broken bit out with tweezers or squish a bit of chewing gum in to pull it out (have to be careful you don't gum up the lock though).
