Check that maybe you turned off the circulation for ur air-conditioning and left the vents open for the outside air to come in?

There's a white plastic pipe behind the car air conditioner which blows the heat into the car but sometimes it breaks (mine did and i felt like it was blowing hot air onto my feet) you need to take your deck and all that crap out and reattach the pipe as i'm assuming its popped out in the direction of your feet. Otherwise i'm not sure whether you know how to use your air con haha

turn your climate control down as low as it will go (18?).

If you have it set to say 24, the fan turned off and your window down, you would think your heater is off. In reality the heater is on (because its sensing it's colder than 24) but not blowing. If you have your vents set to "fresh" it will be collecting the heater hot air and spitting it out as it passes through the system.

Wow that sounds confusing.. Just turn your temp to 18 and see if it still happens :kiss:

Hope that helps

I noticed this also when i first got my skyline although i could be a few things first thing to do is check that its on 18 before turning it off, if it is still hot air coming through proceed to the next evaluation

Common problem with 33's and 34's mate. I have checked this with Fabian from X-Speed/Autobahn Mandurah. I first noticed it after my 100,000km service from Autobahn driving home at like you said, around 100km/hr-ish really intense heat comin onto my feet. I pulled over straight away thinkin they farked somethin up in my service and called them back up.

If it gets too hot for you, while the aircon/fan is OFF, turn the knob all the way to the left and you will get cool air coming out, even though the fan/air con etc is OFF, it still effects the temperature coming out by your feet.

So Hope that helped. :kiss:

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
