CRAP -Locked keys in my '99

There is no spare and Nissan don't have the key on record.

Tried the coat hanger but couldn't get enough pull on the lock and the drivers side door is too damn hold to get pulling it out!

Sherriff handed me a slim jim but I couldn't get it to work. =(

Any advice on getting in to retrive my keys from the cup holder???

Try wedging the driver out so you can either hit the power lock button or manually unlock it up by the handle.

OR, call a locksmith and watch how they do it so can do it next time.

Once again, maxima.org saves my dumb ***!

Dealer didn't have the key code but after a search on here I found out that Nissan USA might have the key code even if the dealers do not... Called them and they contacted the dealer with the code and after much begging and dire warnings about not starting the car with a chipless key to avoid an impending automotive armageddon I was on my way with a working key with no chip. All for the princely sum of $6!

Thanks for everyones comments!
