Brakes
Brake discs wont make much of a difference in braking performance. Pads can make a noticable difference, but the next step up is either a Big Brake disc conversion (larger disc, and a bracket to space the caliper out) or a proper big brake conversion including larger stiffer calipers. Im not sure the Ali or Cast offer improved braking between them in terms of braking performance. Ali is lighter but can apparantly build up too much heat and warp a disc quicker, whereas Cast is heavier but apparantly can offer better cooling to prevent brake disc warping.

blitz turbo timer HELP!
Purple --- Hand Brake Switch Orange --- Speed Sensor White --- Shift Lock (Auto Only) Red --- 12 Volt Blue --- Accessory Green --- Ign. "on" Black --- Earth You will need to feed the Orange wire to the speed wire on the ECU. There are ECU wiring diagrams on here somewhere. There should be a wiring diagram for the Ignition lock too as I cant remember the colours.

Auto ecu diagnostic
hmmm...thats a lot of sensors to all go at once...I would suspect a fault with the Autobox wiring loom or the Autobox ECU itself.

Swopping shell?
rear brakes are the same on all. Front brakes are slightly smaller up on an NA up to late 91 Suspension is the same except for spring rates and Rear Antiroll bar size Complete rear subframe and rear Diff is different as you've mentioned, and its a good idea to keep the NA rear for the lower weight, hicas removal and gearing. Gearboxes and propshafts are different, but fit both engines. NA gearbox will require NA clutch & flywheel but you can modifiy the bellhousing if you want to fit TT clutch/flywheel. You would need to weld on brackets for the Intercooler piping as the NA chassis is missing them. Fuel pump is different (easy swap) ECU is different (easy swap) EFI Wiring loom is different, you would need to fit a Electronic Boost controller.

Well you basically removing all the parts of your own car (engine, suspension, transmission, interior, brakes..etc) and putting it in the new shell.

Swopping shell?
Were going to see reshelling become increasingly popular from now on as more of them go to rust heaven. You could probably find a good Jap TT rolling shell for less from a breakers. I know that SWZ are breaking 4 currently (LWB and SWB, TT and NA) and get at least 1 or 2 new breakers every week. They get a lot of requests for rolling shells. Its a shame to see good shells taken to the scrap yard after they have been stripped when they could be put to good use.

Rat Z
I've unfortunately seen plenty of "Rat" Z's :( Abused cars owned over the years by people who should'nt be owning them and they are part of the reason the general 300zx value is so low....at least they are slowly dissapearing to the graveyards.

Make sure you get the solvent version of evo-stik. The solvent-free version is no good.

Uprated oil cooler
5/8 is an unusual size. You will need to try and get a 5/8 bsp to 3/8 push on union.
