Today I have try a temperature measure, I'm sure this holes working like a air bypass from radiator to wheels vane.
With cooler temperature at 90°C ( 194°F ) on the bulkhead near pedals air flow is 70°C ( 158°F ).
The only explication for this high temperature is: hot air pass from the two clam holes and overheat bulkhead and cabin.

I considerating the relationship from holes in the clam and cabin front bulkhead overheat (and cabin temperature increasing).
I have a CanAm man toaster.... i try to find some solutions (vent behind the seat is closed).
You have a GTR with aircon I'm sure it's a great solution against overheating but I would rather find a solution to the problem and not disguise it.
Discover air at 70°C on front of my foot is a motivating trouble.
