Very Hot In Driver Side Footwell

[HYBRID VL]

i only noticed yesterday how hot my footwell gets in my R33 i checked all my temps and they were all good but it just seems so hot in the car yes i checked heater and that isnt on as i have the whole console off it seems to be located in the footwheel towards the trans tunnel.

is this normal or should i be worried its like im sweating if i have long pants on and almost burning in shorts.

sounds strange right?

It's possible a previous owner drilled a massive hole in the firewall near that location, and it's the heat from the enginebay leaking in

well my car is full stock apart from Nismo 3 inch and a pod i put on i dont think there is any holes i will check though what about thermal blanket underneath?

that would be heat from the gearbox. might be worth checking the oil level of the box, however it is normal to get some heat from there.

[ClutchBurndout-:(]

actually guise, its the climate control still pumping heat in because your setting on the unit is hot (when it was on) if you want to stop it heating up, turn your climate control on, and put the temp down and then turn it off.

heat from the heater leaks in, so when you adjust the temp, the heater hose closes and instead of leaking hot air into the footwell it leaks colder air

or something o rather...

^^^this. or just hit the recirc button on the aircon. achieves the same thing. i prefer turning the temp down though

This sounds like it to me as i was using my heater last time i ran the car before this heating in the footwell so ill give that a try thanks guys.
