Sri Matre Namah,
Guruji did not specifically recommend performing Nyasa with the mantra japa. As he noted back in 1985, for an internal mantra japa, there are no restrictions, and the only requirement is to chant the Guru Paduka mantra beforehand, ensuring that the Guru's grace is with the disciple.
For further details, you can listen to the snippet of Guruji’s talk from 1985 in Toronto on internal mantra japa:
