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:

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
