Default 350z heat coming in under gas pedal and passenger foot

Hello guys,

something is funny with my roadster. i got a coupe before and this is my new roadster. i noticed hot air coming in under my steering wheel. i felt the heat and my passenger also felt it. My a/c or heat is not on. i turn the control **** to defroster mode, top mode.. nothing for foot but i still feel the heat coming... funny thing is that i turn it to circulating inside only.. nothing coming in and yet.. hot air coming in under the steering wheel and passenger's feet.

is it normal for a roadster to feel that? or the wall between the engine compartment and my foot is malfunctioned or broken?? please help...

Try pushing the middle climate control button so it's not using outside air but recycling inside air..should stop the hot air (from engine compartment) I can't remember what setting you have to be on location wise (feet, dash etc but it does work...

Was the car ever in an accident? One of the passages where air travels through could have broke or simply fell off another, directing air to where it isn't supposed to go. Shitty part is, I think these passages are behind the dash and hard hard to get to.
