your wheel studs has snapped by the sounds of it … and running on 2/4 is dangerous as the others would be soon to follow in breaking or loosening …

you can buy new wheel studs for the 240sx from partsource or napa and replace the broken ones by taking off the wheel/caliper/rotor and with a punch or screwdriver pound them out the back of the spindle and then pound the new ones in . It takes some skill to get them in properly and sucked in tight …but definately something you can do yourself

I did mine without taking the rotor off,  
but i wouldn’t suggest it.
