you can buy a frame rail from the dealer
or cut off a good one off a junk car
and weld it in instead of making one

https://www.nissanpartswarehouse.com/nissan-240sx-parts.html this site seems to sell just about everything you would need... it's not cheap tho.

just google "nissan replacement parts" to find other sites.
