Alright. Here's an update I'm pleased yet not so pleased about.
Things I learned:
1) when you pull off the ignition module, you're no further ahead, it does not reveal a damn thing to remove the broken key with.
2) you will see two small circles on the side of the body close to where your key goes in, if you drill them enough, the unit will come out and you can gain access to the lock assembily
3) it doesn't go back after you drill it.

4) You have to use sheet metal screws to hold the entire lock assembily inside the module chassis. I'm not pleased with this solution, but it saved me $45 and having to take it to a locksmith.
4) If I knew this was the case originally, I would have taken it to a locksmith
5) I found out how I can swipe a nissan in 5 minutes or less and I'm not happy about it.
Removing the lock assembily is easy, and the $3.50 shear pins are worth buying so you can take the assembily to a locksmith and save the $100+ for them to come to you (if you are able)
