I hope you have the manual Twin turbo one, on mint shape and not modded, that will fetch you a mint in a decade!

They have an electric A/C fan on the front of the A/C Condenser and a Viscous/Belt driven fan behind in the engine bay.
Very nice car. I have a '89 TT as well but mine is Auto, but have done quite a bit of work on it. Sign up to the NZ300zx forum, lots of great info, discount parts/import stuff etc. www.300zx.co.nz

cheers i will do that. i was thinking bout putting an electronic boost controler on do you no whats a safe psi to run them on

Stock turbos are good for 15psi, but you wouldn't want to run anything more then 12.5-13psi regularly.
You can get boost jets that go in the wastegate lines that control the boost, most common size sets it to 12.5psi. You would want a tune etc to go with it - theres a guy on here who does ECU Chips for these for around $99 that suit 12.5-13psi. Though on mine I also upgraded to 550cc Injectors as well so theres no risk of detonation

what sort of tune would i need. like just a normal one or a full on race one!

I think Ive got a couple of origonal mags of one of those, just what you need for your caravan or trailer.

thanks il have to get one of those, is it very hard to upgrade the injectors!

Yeah it can be. You can either carefully dremel around the intake making sure you don't take off too much material so as to create an air leak, or the more sensible but time consuming method of pulling off the upper plenum
sandrar,

taking of the plenum is probably less risky would you recomend getin a mechanic to do it or is it easy enuf to do by myself!
unbeatabull,

It is a bit of a job, there is a lot of wiring and hoses and junk connected to it, it's not too hard just time consuming. When the plenums off there is some common bypass's that people do that make it a whole lot easier for next time and simplifies the engine bay quite a bit. If your not too confident you would be better off getting a Mechanic to do it - but make sure its someone familiar with these cars. Actually, I see your in CHCH, So I'm happy to lend a hand when/if required :)
