i had this issue with my 2.8turbo gu.
One of the fixes from nissan is running a thick earth cable from motor or gearbox to chassis rail.. Try that first worked for me..

the gu's have stupidly small earth cables so when any extra's are added to the electrical system it stuffs everything up, run a nice thick cable from the neg battery post to the engine then from the engine block to the chassis, then run another earth from the neg battery post to the body... i fix this prob all the time at work, my thoughts are u can never have too many earth cables.. hope this helps :D

there are actually 2 models of the Boogard TTimers.

One for cars with subtanks.. Mate had same problem, and got the right one. problem solved. The part # had a ST on the end. assume subtank.
