Where would you find one? RockAuto doesn’t, nor AutoZone.
eBay has them.

RockAuto’s tag line of “all the parts you’ll ever need” is BS.
If @jtsanders had not posted an Ebay link I’d have said “fabricate one”. Expecting to find parts for a 33 year old car is very problematic as you get beyond brake pads, starters or alternators.

I looked on eBay first. If I specify 240SX they don’t have the EGR line. The part you reference says it’s for the 200. Are they the same? Can one eyeball it? The pictures are different shapes. I notice it’s in Albuquerque.
That’s been considered. I expect that to be expensive.
I’ve had no problem for my '87 Toyota.
I did a web search for your application and there were many in the shopping section. I chose one with a lower price and clicked on it. The webpage told me to confirm the application and I input year, make, and model, then it confirmed that two were available.

Poke around here:

Your best bet is to check around a 240SX forum, someone probably has one in their garage they would sell you…
Fun little cars, very cool…
Something I’ve done is poke around some parts diagrams online, get the exact OEM part number. Then do a Google search for that OEM part number, like “GM 123456”. You’d be surprised how many options you’ll come up with.

Your URI is for a 200SX. Its tube is a different shape. I searched on eBay before I asked, then again after your message: not for the 240.
They have other EGR parts, as do Rock and eBay, but not the tube. It seems odd to have some parts but not all: does the tube never break? It may not, considering it’s just a piece of metal.
Yeah, that works sometimes. It’s a 14725-53F01 - it seems to be discontinued.
I asked for a neighbor. Someone else turned it up:

They have it in Fort Pierce? We’re in Albuquerque. Why would Fort Pierce have it?
Could you take a piece of stainless steel hose that could take the heat and pressure, put the right fittings on the end, use that?
Because there is little call for that part you are lucky that anyone has one . I can’t even believe you asked that question.
The same engine (KA24DE) was used in the Frontier pickup until 2016. Maybe you could cross reference the part at the dealer if you haven’t already. See the list of models that use this engine near the end of the link.

IIRC, you had said you only drive about 100 miles a year, if so then just block off the EGR system and run it, the world is not gonna end because of it, you don’t drive enough for it to matter…
Because it is discontinued and Fort Pierce is one of the few if not the last dealer on earth that still has one in stock… It’s called N.O.S (new old stock), they would love to get ride of it…
A few years ago it took me a while to track down a transmission shim that had been discontinued years ago, I might have bought the very last one from a dealer anywhere in the US and it about a 1,000 miles away, the parts guy gladly mailed it to me… lol
What would I have done if I couldn’t find one?, well I would have either made one or had one made… or junked (well turned it into a parts donor) the transmission and bought another core to build…
Your link is to a parts catalog, it does not show inventory status. Dealers stock 1% to 2% of the parts listed in the manufacture’s parts catalog, low sales volume parts are in the manufactures warehouse.
Place an order, they will likely respond by stating the part has been discontinued.

I’m not going to order it; I’ll leave that to my neighbor. I think @davesmopar has it right. I had the same experience for parts for my old range: a few places listed it, none came through when I ordered it. One didn’t even refund my payment. nissanpartsdeals has it discontinued.
