Message Erratic timing indicated. Mine looked very similar to what your video shows. Take off your crank angle sensor and check the condition of the pin that drives it. There is a problem of misalisgnmenmt that affected early 90 Z32s but even latter years the pin may wear eventually. This link describes the effects and cure for a worn pin. I just did this fix and my timing is now dead nuts and my car runs better than it ever has. I have not smog tested it yet but I am anticipating it will pass.

If you search this site you will find images of what the pin looks like when it is worn and what a new one should look like
