Default Spare key, is it really that hard!!!

Trying to get hold of a spare blank for a 1998 sti !! It's just a plain old blank , no transponder or anything like that, I've tried Graham Goode and they don't stock them anymore, need one desperate because my only key is developed a nice little crack in it !

any locksmith should be able to copy your nissan key , you dont know its a nissan key but it is . €6 iswhat i charge , 2 min job !
or buy a fancy key and get it done

Yea any locksmith will have a matching blank or be able to get you one.

Up here in Scotland lots of shoe repair shops also do key cutting or engravers I got a spare key cut for my ZX6R at one in the big Tesco in Aberdeen so cant be that hard to find..
