Getting rid of HVAC odor

And the story continues. I found the evaporator drain house on teh passenger side, smelled fine, and ran some water through it to make sure it drains. Pushed a Q tip into the nipple the hose connects to and it smells fine too, not wet. Checked the aspirator hose on the other side and it seems fine. Looked at the fresh air intake, everything good there too. I don't know where this moisture pools. Since I have access I'm considering giving it a quick shot of Lysol into the evaporator and let it sit for a bit, than dry it out. If that doesn't work Nissan can figure it out, they can replace the whole damn HVAC as far as I'm concerned.

Okay, so I have my car now (when I previously posted on this thread it was pre-car) and I have some questions.

When I first turn the air on in the car I get this obnoxious smell. It lasts about, oh, I don't know, 15 to 20 seconds maybe, give or take a few, maybe even 30 seconds. But the smell is not the same old mildewy moldy smell I've gotten in previous cars, so I'm not sure if it's the same thing you all are discussing here. The smell I get has a chemical like scent to it, like a plastic solvent sort of smell. Like you are huffing in 2 pieces of plastic you just glued together or something. Does this sound familiar here? Or is my smell some new weird thing associated with 2012 models?

Oh yeah, hey kenchan, glad to see someone else posted what I said way back in the beginning about the bleach. Why didn't you bang them about it like you did me?
