Great news! That would explain my current 16 MPG with a 'conservative' foot. I will definitely post up a video for 'diagnosing' purposes once the weather clears up. Another question, not sure if related, but when I romp on the throttle, the engine sometimes bogs and sputters for a split second before it fires right back normally again. This only happens if I quickly romp on the accelerator. Usually more prevalent after sitting in traffic for a while but I've had instances where I couldn't heel-toe downshift quickly into 2nd since the engine was sputtering instead of revving up to match.

Apologies on bumping an old thread but for those of you with the Sportage weatherstrip, I installed my brand new set today and I found that there was still water leaking in during the hose test. The window frame is in contact with the seal but obviously it's not very tight. What have you folks done to move the window frame area in for a tighter seal?

Hey hybridz folk, I recently picked up a S30 off a fellow member on here and have been putting on the miles while the weather holds up here in the PNW. It's my first carb'ed car and I'm not sure whether this is proper or not so I'll ask for your advice. The L28 is currently running triple 44mm. Mikuni carbs and a 3" straightpipe. I hit the search already - which is why I will refrain from using the term 'backfire' Upon deceleration, the exhaust would pop and bang all the way back down till about 1500 RPM. If I am in the higher RPMs, the bangs would be quite loud. I had my father trail me and after each bang there would be light grey smoke coming from the exhaust. I don't know what the culprit is - whether the carbs are running too rich or lean. The 3" straightpipe exhaust may be potentially amplifying the pops. I came from a R32 Skyline before so pops and afterfire from the exhaust were pretty normal... Attached are a couple pictures of the plugs and of the carbs. All 6 plugs. #1 = closest to firewall http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y248/SoberPhotography/310Z/?action=view&current=Plugset.jpg Plug 1 http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y248/SoberPhotography/310Z/?action=view&current=Plug1.jpg Plug 2 http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y248/SoberPhotography/310Z/?action=view&current=Plug2.jpg Plug 3 http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y248/SoberPhotography/310Z/?action=view&current=Plug3.jpg Plug 4 http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y248/SoberPhotography/310Z/?action=view&current=Plug4.jpg Plug 5 http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y248/SoberPhotography/310Z/?action=view&current=Plug5.jpg Plug 6 http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y248/SoberPhotography/310Z/?action=view&current=Plug6.jpg Mikunis http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y248/SoberPhotography/310Z/?action=view&current=Mikunis.jpg http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y248/SoberPhotography/310Z/?action=view&current=DSC_5000.jpg
