That appears to be a difficult one to track down. It appears to be connector M102. I found a writeup on a ClubFrontier forum for wiring steering wheel controls. One of the members had some hand-written notes/diagrams of the connectors. I have been digging through the FSM for my 2006 and have found very little mention of that connector. Hopefully the following information can help.

Using the information from the identified wires in the diagram above, I looked through the FSM to try and locate some description or layout of that connector (M102).
Looking at the wiring for the horn and audio controls gives these diagrams. Note that it says "This connector is not shown in the 'Harness Layout' of PG Section".

Seeing some of the wires in your hand and I'm not 100% sure we're talking about the same connector. The M102 connector appears to be at the top of the steering column where the clock spring attaches. So the plug is at the 12 o'clock position aligning with the metal housing of the steering column itself. The wire colors in the last picture don't seem to match. I'm not sure if M102 is on the steering column side or the clock spring side.

You may have to download each section as a pdf for better viewing. I downloaded each and saved them all in a folder.

Here is a snapshot from a youtube video of changing the clock spring on a Nissan Titan. You can see the wiring harness pretty good- there is a plug for the top of the steering column, then you have the plugs on the left that go to the clock spring (a yellow and gray connector in the same slot) but also a plug that I have circled in red. It doesn't appear to be used in this application and is taped up. Many of the Nissan vehicles from those years were very similar if not identical. I've heard the gray plug that he is installing in the screenshot below is an 8-pin. Is that the one you are looking for?

And I just noticed that you are outside the US, so here's a video of a Navara D40 clock spring.
