hai guyz! i have a small problem my 300zx slowly heats up inside. i can really feel the heat coming from the gear stick and the middle compartment. i can also feel the heat on my left leg and on the passengers right leg. any1 have any ideas how 2 fix this plz.
Do you have an aftermarket exhaust? It's likely the heat shields were not replaced and the exhaust sits closer to the transmission tunnel. I fixed this by wrapping the exhaust with exhaust wrap.
nah its just stock hmmm do the current heat shields fall out of place? where can i buy this exhaust wrap lol
Ill wager that the servo motor which controls the heated/fresh air mix door and the hot water tap together is not working/disconnected blah. Your not going to like much the answer to what your next question is going to be................!!!!! L8r E
ebay my friend its about $34 to $50 depending how much you buy ,i got a gsxr 1100 and the headers would cook my legs in summer,,so i heat wrapped them ,i bought the $34 kit and it did all 4x header pipes plus my 4into1 collector cheers
Maybe, but unlikely the cause of this, the absense of heat shields on the transmissino tunnel is pretty common on manual cars, they tend to get "forgotten" by mechanics after a clutch change. This heats up the tunnel pretty quickly, resulting in the hot gear stick and LH foot well.
Yeah but you usually feel the hot air blowing out the vents...I had that problem previously. He seems quite specific on where it's getting hot...
i was screwing around with the iaa and when adjusted wrongly caused the exhaust to get really hot including drivers seat and console to the point where you could smell the glue and resins from the trim materials. Have you tried to adjust base idle without a consult recently?
i was just thinking that andy some ppl have told me that the heat shields fall out of place im just going 2 try and get that heat wrap next time im in town...is it that hard 2 do it myself?
I suppose you could do it with the exhaust in place...but I don't know how good a wrap you would get. I would drop the exhaust and wrap it nice and tight from the dumps or headers (don't know if you have TT or NA) back to the Cats. Depending on if it's ever been removed or not, exaust nuts can be rusted on pretty firm, and you could end up snapping the studs rather than undoing the nut. So it's up to you if you can do it yourself.
