after 1000 miles of driving, my review of the 420Ztt

I understand your reasoning behind keeping that core. In that case I would DEFINITELY install the HKS fan controller and lower the turn on temp for the fans. I'd also switch to some higher flowing fans as well. A pair of Spal puller fans with a nice aluminum fan shroud would do the trick with the Fan controller running them both at high speed. I don't know if you have also considered running water-meth injection as well. It should help reduce cylinder temps a bit as well while under boost. In all you should be able to mitigate at least most of the potential for overheating for relatively cheap.
I couldn't find the fan controller on any of the board vendors site but here's a listing for $169: http://www.hopupracing.com/hksfanco.html
Heres the data from HKS on it: http://www.hksusa.com/products/more.asp?id=1697
For fans you could a pair of Spal 10" or 12" fans and have Sam or some other decent shop weld up a nice aluminum shroud. Flex-a-lite makes a dual fan unit for the 240SX which should work with some slight modification to the brackets: http://www.flex-a-lite.com/auto/html/345-nissan.html
Spal fans are about $150 a piece for the 12" high performance units. Figure another $100-300 for the shroud. So lets say $600 for the fans. Then some wiring which should be easy and you have a potential solution for under $1,000. I'd also think about switching to straight DI water and watter wetter if it doesn't snow where you live. All that should take care of MOST of the overheating issues. I know there's supposed to be increased heat from the increased displacement but your water temp shouldn't be THAT high. The Spearco Water Injection System is also pretty well priced and Sharif has had some good success with it. Info on that here: http://www.turboneticsownersclub.com/viewtopic.php?t=37

I'll definitely look into the fans, and yes, I already have the Aquamist water/meth injection.

That fan solution sounds interesting. I will see how mine runs before looking into that as I have a lot of stuff already being installed. Like you I am having the Spearco's water meth kit installed. I might even change the DEI Cryo intercooler sprayer to NOS... will see how that goes.

Have you tried Evans NGP coolant? I tried this a few years ago when my MR2 turbo heated in bumper to bumper. The most amazing coolant {waterless} ever. It completely solved my problems. Yes it's waterless, you run 100% coolant. Just Google NGP coolant and you'll get all the details. If you did'nt already know about this I hope it helps. 
OK Alex......do you want your videos shot in my rear or side view mirrors.....and no drugs today.....just high on the fact that I'm 2/3 the way to having 650 rwhp NA.....and I have a 250 shot NOS plate going in.....then a t-88 to follow.....
I say we team up and rob truckers.....and we can call ourselves VIN and live our lives one 1/4 at a time.....
but seriously...we need to create a nation wide club for the super insane people such as you and myself.....and dominate the show and race scene.....
