I'm a total newbie to the z-car (but I own 2 other Nissans)... want a 94 or 95 convertible for a project car. Also wish I could get twin-turbo, but understand Nissan didn't make convertible TT's (what were they thinking??). So question it... if I get a convertible, what's involved in adding twin turbos to it? Gotta be a lot more than just bolting on a couple of Garret blowers, right?Looking for experience help, please.

welcome to nico, please search around the swap is common, and there is lots of info on it, your best bet is with an entire front cut as you'll need piping intercoolers, harness, ecu, etc, I seem to recall the cuts costing about $2500

and the TT I believe was available in a convertible in japan and other countries

Welcome to NICO!!!

As evildky said, your easiest route to TT would be to pick up a front clip out of Japan. The swap isn't any harder into a convertible than it is into any other NA Z32. Best of luck and I hope you get that Z32 vert you're looking for!
