I own a 1988 300ZX Turbo and am moving to Scottsdale AZ. The car has been
very well maintained. No major issues (knock on wood). Since the temp out
there can reached up to 120 during the summer, I was curious to see if I
should make any type of adjustments, flushes,....anything. The car has
160,000 miles on it. The turbo is original, but still runs very strong. Are
these cars prone to overheating (especially the turbo)? Any ideas or
suggestions is appreciated.

Thank you.

Not really. I'm in Atlanta, it gets pretty hot here and they do fine. We do
replace a few radiators and fan clutches but no more than any other car and
the turbo's don't seem to be any worse then the NA cars.
