Unhappy My HOT Z?

My Z's been acting really strange lately. It gets really hot in the cabin after driving for only 15 minutes or so. The temp. meter is stable but the hood gets hotter than the son when i get on it for a few secs or even when i drive normally for longer than 15 minutes. It also takes forever to cool off, i just checked and it's still REALLY warm and i've been home from a 30 min cruise for almost 90 minutes! The warmth also comes from the side (front by the wheels).

I bought my pre-owned Z in Jan. I had to replace the A/C fan immediatly after the car overheated and started erupting radiator fluid. Don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

P.S does anyone have a link or tips on Nismo CAI maintenance, because i believe that might be the issue as i've just been informed by the previous owner that it's never been serviced.

BTW, she has 12xxx miles on her.

I also own a Mustang GT, It stays cool MUCHHH longer than the Z (i know for a fact that it can't be normal the way it gets so warm, i just need to know why and how to resolve it). Also i live in South America Suriname, It's always summer over here hehe..

my 335i is the same way and its normal for me. when i had the Z i dont rememeber it being like that so you might want to take it to the dealer and have it checked out since it looks like you are still under warranty.

wierd, i have to keep the temp dial at 75 otherwise i will get frozen out of the car. i agree, take it to the dealer that should not be right because the system cools the interior rather quickly
