Center Console Feeling Warm?

Lately when driving my R34 N/A coupe I've noticed that where my left leg rests the carpet feels warm - even when not using the heater / climate control. This is under the head unit and it gets hot on both sides (i.e. where the front passengers right leg rests too). It is isolated to under the head unit, but in front of where the transmission controls are. Could it be the transmission?

hmm... i get the heat thing too after driving normally for awhile... anything to be worried about anyone?

I get the same thing too in my R34 GT-T... Sounds like its a normal thing then. I have an aftermarket headunit and factory gauges and the console is warm when i rest my leg against it..

this happens to me with my air con.

when its turned on to warm, even if the air con is off - the part under the leg rest still heats up.

a bit weird, but it happens to my girlfriends 25t aswell.

easy solution is to just turn the air con down every time before turning it off.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. So I have my GTR on the lift and have been working on it a few days and today I unpacked the frontpipe that was wrapped with heat wrap stuff, because part of it was breaking down and soaked in oil. Noticed that the pipe itself does not actually look like a Mines, despite it supposedly being a Mines. But I could not find any fronpipe online that looks exacly like his, and I don't think it is a custom one. My amateur measurement also showed the two pipes are about equal length, so maybe this is just an old version of the Mines pipe? Would appreciate insight on this by the enlightened folks. greetings from Germany

      Yeah. If I plug the connector in and connect the vacuum lines, I assume worse case scenario is that it simply doesn't work? Yep PFC.

      I would think that rather than attempting to perform an engine swap, with all the difficulties associated with doing so in a country where the raw materials required are harder to get hold of, I would just build the CA20 for boost, find an EFI manifold for it and either add a turbo or a supercharger. Or both. You replace one set of difficulties with a different set, but I know which would be more fun.

      Well, a proper aftermarket ECU** SHOULD be set up to run the purge solenoid, same as the factory ECU would, so that the tank breather system continues to operate the way it is supposed to. I have no knowledge of whether the PFC (which is what I assume you mean when you say Apexi) has an output (and internal logic) to run the purge solenoid. If it does not, then given the product design intent for the PFC, which is to be a plug in replacement for the stock ECU, I would consider that a massive failing on Apexi's behalf and would be another reason to think that they were a half-arsed solution to the problem if programmable management on RBs. I would suggest that since Nistune came to market (which is a LOOOOONG time ago now) there has been no valid argument for choosing a PFC, especially if the PFC can't do things like this.   **ie, Haltach, Link, Motec, etc
