Can I use Nikon D5100 with Starblitz 320BTZ flash?

I have an old StarBlitz 320BTZ flash which I'd like to use with my Nikon D5100. I'm very confused with the voltage related damage or any other issues with this combination. If some one has tried this or has information about this flash with Nikon D5100 please do let me know!

Unlike Canon cameras, there's no stated 6v limit for the trigger voltage, but the 320BTZ only shows a 5.66V voltage reported by Dominique Dartois

However.

The old Starblitz is a manual flash, which means you will have to manually determine the lens aperture each time you take a shot.

My guess it would be better used as a slave flash if it can be set to shoot at lower outputs

I suggest you save your pennies and buy a nice SB400 dedicated flash for your camera if you really do need an external flash.
