Haven't noticed if they are on max or not. I never use the heat/air so I will check that today.

DIGI your turbos are probably causing all car problems. you should promptly take off your tt kit and give it to me

So for you guys out there, have you tried setting the temp controls to cold?

Sitting in traffic and then parking the car makes the interior get super hot and the heat is definitely coming from the trans tunnel under the dash. While on the road, it never bothers me and I try to use my air/heat as little as possible

have you guys tried lowering the temp to the lowest setting and/or putting the car to cycle air from in the cabin only? Personal experience has shown that the vents are never truly closed even if the fan setting is set to off so i would always put the temp on 60 degrees or blue, whichever you got.

Most of the times my ac/heat is in the off position, that's where I can actually feel most of the heat by my legs, but its only after 30min+ of driving, personally I don't mind it because it actually heats up the cabin well enough for me to drive without the heat.

I have a Vert and it gets very hot in summer driving normal speed with the top down. It feels like the heat is on coming from the floor vent. I've tried to use the recirulate mode but it's still hot.

I guess the only solution is to turn on the A/C and direct it to the floor. It is PITA!

Yes the heat is coming from the trans tunnel. I keep my bag there and whe I get to work the carpet is 180 degrees may bag with metal hooks clips is the same and it kind of burns to put my backpack on. I like to sit in the car in the morning, but can't because the car gets,so hot. Checking this weekend what is causing the problem. Has noting tomdomwith AC mine is on all the time and I don't feel heat until after driving in traffic.

Wink Heat

I bought a 2013 Nismo late last summer and noticed the footwell heat as soon as I started driving it hard. When I did my first oil change I discovered what a POS the plastic under panel was so I ordered ZSPEEDS aluminum version with the oil change door-great product! As an added bonus the high temp in the car is all but gone. No brainer accessory in my book,

I have the same problem and it is driving me nuts. I am not aware of the ZSpeeds aluminum version you are referencing. Any chance you can elaborate and provide link on where to purchase.

Thanks.

Wow. I know several members have that under body panel. I've been eyeing it for a while and if other members can make that same claim I think I'm going to have to pull the trigger because it gets terrible during track days...
