Bum! We can try and guess what your config is...
Well, the engine won't care, it's really down to the puter and the ignitor. AFAIK all nissan CAXXDE crangle sensors are created equal.

The engine I had, the coils had two HT outlets, and there were two of them, and they hung off a bracket on the rear of the head. This arrangement had a two channel ignitor. I've also seen engines with an individual coil per cylander, but I've never seen the ignitor(s) that go with this!
So,
how many coils do you have?
how is the ignitor configured (how many in's , how many outs)

Take a look at the connector in the loom that goes to the ignitor. It'll have connections for +12 , GND, and there will be either 2 or 4 wires go to the brain, and either 2 or 4 wires go to the coils
If there are 2in, 2out you have a wastedspark setup, and you'll need dual coils (I use mitsi ones). Wire both HT's of one coil to plugs 1and4 , and both HT's of the other coil to plugs 2and3. If it blows flames, swap 1/4 with 2/3. Dont forget to put a supressor across the +12v connection on the coils.

If there are 4in, 4out you have a sequential setup, and a much larger number of possibilities.. One of them will work, a lot of them will spit and cough, two of them may actually make it run on a couple of cylanders!!

It's not as hard as it appears if you keep all this in the back of your mind...
