Take a socket that is slightly smaller than locknut and hammer it on to the locknut. Then use a socket wrench to get it off. I did this when my key broke.

Grab an angle grinder (if you don't own one, you can pick one up for around $12 @ harbor freight) and cut a straight line at the top of the lug nut. Use a flat head screw driver bit in your socket wrench or a hammer drill to break it loose.

You can go to a Nissan dealer and get a new one. I had to do this when the tire shop lost my key. I think it was around $40.
