Anyone else experience this with their hoods?
 

I notice that when I am sitting in the car, the hood would be so hot that you can see the heat come off it.

Is this good or bad? Would it damage the paint or anything mechanical?

This happens when anything gets hot.

:icon18:

I've noticed my brakes doing this as well...:tiphat:

:eek:
Thats not good. Might need to take it to a dealer.




















:roflpuke2:

Yea, I might just do that and ask them for a colder engine... lol

:icon17: Can you guys put just a little ice in it this time?

I know everything does it when it gets hot. It is just that we have such a crappy paint job. I figured maybe it would be bad for the paint too.

Whenever I'm with Z
Something inside
Starts to burnin'
And I'm filled with desire

Could it be the devil in the Z
Or is this the way the Z's hood is supposed to be

Just like a heatwave
Burning in my car
Can't keep from cryin'
It's tearing me apart

Whenever the Z calls my name
So slow, sweet and plain
I feel, yeah, yeah, well I feel that burning flame

Has my lack of oil cooler got a hold on me
Or is this the way Z's are supposed to be

Just like a heatwave
Burning in my car
Can't keep from cryin'
It's tearing me apart

:rock:

Hey guys I came into contact with water today and, wouldn't you know it, I got WET! I mean, what's the deal with that?! Should I take this up with the rain clouds or what?

Class action lawsuit incoming! :drama:

:facepalm:

Hot like a dessert

I accidentally touched my headers and burned my skin pretty bad.

Are headers supposed to be that hot?!?!?

lol no one answered the question. everyone just stated the obvious.

It's good, it means your engine is working correctly, and isn't just some gnome in the engine bay going "brrrrrbrbrbrrrrrrrrrr-ING DING DING DING brrrrrbrbrrrrrrrrr".

won't damage anything mechanical. the paint can withstand it too. unless you touch it. then it'll freak out and chip and do all sorts of crazy ****.

tl;dr - duh.

i thought phelan was going to post a picture of how japanese anime draw terds with heat giving off of it...

Perfectly normal, and no damage to the paint will occur.

i wasn't gonna do it in anime style though. :(

:bowrofl:

My hood makes a loud 'thunk' when I close it. Normal?


I love these threads!

There's a funny smell coming from my exhaust. Whenever I go closer to take a deeper breath, I feel like its doing damage to my lungs. Is this normal?

OP the paint is not the best, but it can withstand those temperatures. The Sun will do more damage than any engine heat. Thats one of the reasons you should use a quality wax.

Something is always hot, whether it be the brakes, the engine, the hood, the clutch(from diving in flip-flops to he store) or brake fluid, oil, the car is just so hot and sexy it cant contain itself, it has to let a little off here and there. Hence why the people that leave VDC on for a longer time wonder what will happen when you shut it off. it turns into a rocket because it is so hot!

:happydance:

It will when it rains,it will cause 'rain spot'....damages due to 'Acid rain'.

This hood scoop should work :tiphat:

J/K try some hood reflective tape or liner?

Yes just make sure to remove all fingers :bowrofl:

Haven't had that happen yet. But i don't even think the nissian paint job is that crappy. Plus there are times when the paint takes a bad rap

My grill does this too!

Vented hood or dry ice would be my suggestion

LOL!!
