Message some improvised brace. Tweaking the core or jacking from it will cause the whole front end of the car to come out of alignment. Hood, headlights, fascia, nose panel will all get out of place. The front core is not a safe jack point and never will be.

You can still get lower cores new from Nissan or you can buy a used clean one that some drills out the spot welds and removes from their car. However if buying new make sure they know how to remove it clean, that it matches your motor (TT and NA lower cores are not the same) and that their donor car was not in a front end collision so you don't inherit their accident damage.
