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.

How? I'm not sure how the underpanel has any effect on tranny tunnel temps. I've got the panel and I love it, but I'm at a loss to explain how it would have any effect on what's being discussed in this thread.

this^^^ was wondering the same thing. maybe better airflow through the engine compartment allows it to keep it a bit cooler? i just run my a/c with the upper and lower blower rather than having the blower in auto mode, keeps it much cooler that way but then again, it really doesn't bother me.
