You should probably post on the Nikon board to see which flashes are compatible and get older one like recommended above. I like my old Canon 380EX (get a cord if needed to get the flash off camera.) It's excellent for TTL flash connected to the camera. I think it came out in 1994 or something, my 540EZ isn't even compatible with DSLR and is probably even older. Great manual flash, using it a lot lately. Nikon probably has similar older flashes available for next to nothing.
The 540EZ is as powerful as the latest AFAIK, except it zooms to 105mm instead of 200mm. Guide number measures flash power higher us more powerful. That flash at 50mm zooms 140 in feet, I believe. GN divided by feet gives f stop, although that's not 100% I suppose.
White jleenex attached using tape or rubber bands takes about a stop as a diffuser. Try to get a cord if needed to get it off camera, swivel and bounce allow bouncing off the ceiling in horizontal and vertical attached to camera. Feel free to ask more questions
