Going to buy another 300zx (z32)

Hi All,
Recently I had a little bit of a windfall and I want to get another Z32. I have owned one before a 93 NA, which I absoulutly loved. I had to sell it back in 2013, due to financial hardships, But now I can afford to buy one again. I have been thinking about a 94 TT, but having once owned a 81 280zx turbo I'm leary. Just how robust are the new turbos Nissan uses. How good is a 25 year old one and what are the chances of eiter or both going out and what is the cost to replace these guys. Back when I owned my 81 ZX the turbo went out and it was a small fortune to replace it. Also did 94 do away with the replacable timing belts or do they still need to be replaced at 60,000 mile intervals. Any info will be of great help in me making desicions.

Thanks

timing belt yes. turbos seem to go around 120 - 140 K. if you do it yourself you can get a rebuilt for 3-4 hundred each. Do one do both. if maintenance is a worry you might want to consider low mileage 350
