Dude, sounds like you got yourself a CDI system. Capacitive Discharge Ignition.

I doubt if it is a CDI, those are usually thicker.

It looks like a regular electronic ignition module.

Black usually goes to the distributor points, blue to the coil, yellow or red to tachometer, and that leaves green to power (but green is not common). But it might be totally different and wiring it incorrectly could damage it. Does it have any markings on the back or near the wires?

My advice: Don't use it, just use the stock setup until you can find wiring diagram. Nissan electronic distributors use a different type of control box from what I've seen.
