Question heat problem

i dont know if anyone else faced this problem, but currently i have a heat problem in my Z.
everytime i reach more than 100km/h the car become hot from inside (specily in the driver side), it is like the heat of exhaust is coming inside the car. i also got this peoblem when i use the manual mode for the transmission (when the rpm goes above 3k)
i only done 1000km in my Z

i want to know if any body got this prbolem before?

I have this problem in my '04 Z roadster. The dealership didn't seem to think it was a big deal. The heat is coming from the floor air vent. I may look into putting some insulation in there or something if possible.

same here JasZ, the guy from nissan tried to give BS reasons, like the car is so low, and it is close to the exahust so it is normal to have the heat transmitted to the seats. i told him this is BS.

anyone know if this a common problem in all Z or only in some of them ??

i found in other forum that one guys was hearing a noise in his car when the car is movind, and it was because of the loose in the heat shield. i also do hear a noise in my car when the car is changing from 1st to 2nd (my car is Auto). the sound is like when u scratch somthing against a wall or brick, and i feel somthing in the peadls at the same time with that strange sound.

Interesting article. Where is it from? If you read the article closely particularly about the suspension system and the negative camber when the suspension is compressed it might suggest the cause of the feathering on some 350'z. Add the bounce that some have reported to have on there car and the combination (bounce + negative camber) may cause significant inside tire cupping.

My thoughts exactly! Can someone cross post this to the tire feathering thread?
