I seriously doubt the Nikon's GNC circutry can communicate with the D2, the pinout mght be the same (I use a SC-17 cable between my Metz and D2), but that is where it stops. Actually you need ot be sure that the connections on the flash apart from the trad. X connector doesn't damage the D2. If you can't get that verified, put a Wein safe sync gizmo between the D2 and the Nikon, that way you'll not fry the circutry of the D2.
