Hey Everyone!

Long time lurker, New-ish Z32 owner! Finally got around to buying a gorgeous N/A 2+2 in great shape inside and out. I bought it with with very few but tasteful modifications done. Its got a K&N filter, Stillen nose panel, and aftermarket headers. PO said it received new KYB struts but that turned out to be a bold faced lie, unless he meant he put used ones in. Since owning it I replaced the sway bar bushings, had the 120K service done, replaced the fuel filter, replaced several IACV hoses, cleaned the IACV, replaced a few Vac lines, replaced a faulty knock sensor (well relocated a new one anyway), New plugs, and am putting a one piece drive shaft in this weekend due to a faulty carrier bearing in the stock DS.

Only thing i'm currently trying to get in better shape besides a random miss at idle (I'm thinking a lazy/dirty injector) is my footwell ducts blow HOT air no matter what the temp is set at. It was nice during the winter months but now that its approaching summer its not so great...

At first I assumed it was heat from the transmission tunnel bleeding through but upon further inspection it would seem its air blowing from the driver's side footwell ducts, air temp is fine on the passenger side footwell ducts. I read through the FSM and perused a few writeups on A/C diagnostics but Nothing in them seems to point to my particular issue. Anyone have any ideas where to start with this one?

Thanks in advance! Glad to be a part of these wonderful Forums! I'll post pictures here pretty soon for those who are interested
