According the the Canon flash compatibility list, your old flash has a trigger voltage of around 5 to 6 volts. I reckon that means it should not damage your Nikon. However check what your cameras trigger voltage is just to be sure.
If you read the bit on that page about the Centon fg105d it mentions iffy performance sometimes but that's with Canon so it may not apply.
I use an old Centon FH85 on my 300d very successfully.

trigger voltage depending the flash should work in manual or auto,
however it will not work in TTL ot iTTL as this is a newer system on the DSLR's , i have a Nikon SB25 , it to will not work in the advanced modes
this means you will have to test fire for every situation to see if the levels are right
Hope this helps

I use an ancient flash on my canon, it works well, as long as you stay under your cameras voltage limit, the canon seems to be 5 volts, to test a flash if no info on it, get a test meter put wire on centre pin and other wire on side plate, switch the flash on and watch ur test meter needle rise, when its charged up ready to fire the needle should settle and hopefully its around the 5 volt mark.
