The ones I've seen have plastic pipes like the core in the picture below. Maybe you can move or get some plastic pipes for yours.

I've had more trouble with the plastic pipes crumbling on an old core than with the core leaking.

Why did you buy that after it clearly states in the "bad" review, and also in the customer questions & answers, that it does not come with the pipes? As CS_AR said, the pipes are usually the weak point of the core. One of mine cracked, and I ended up replacing the entire unit. If you can manage to get your old ones off without breaking them, you may be able to re-use them. On the ebay site for the heater core that you ordered, it says "Requires the use of OEM pipes," so I guess that is what they expect you to do.

If your old ones are damaged, you may have to order a set from Nissan. Here is the part, courtesy nissan has them for $19 each, but I imagine the shipping may be expensive and may take some time to get to Turkey:

For reference, the OEM core at Courtesy is $219:

This diagram should help you double check everything that you need. Part # 27157 appears to be a washer which you may also need:
