Before adding HP, I would regain lost HP. i.e change spark plugs, clean out intake, service injectors, replace worn out oxygen sensors, knock sensor, fuel system cleaning etc.

Bumpypickle is right.

Many new members want more power.

A properly maintained car will have more power.

I have done all that he mentioned.

The 3.0 took about 7 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour, or
100km

Maybe you can find information kow many seconds the 2.0 took to reach 100k when new. If your engine has been serviced like bumpy pickle said, your car should come close to that number.

If it does not, do maintanece work first.

You might like the results.

I was not aware of all the work you have done. The list is quite extensive.

Your are feeling all the power that can be expected out of the 2.0 engine
the way nissan had intended.

Which is less than you like. Some of our members have done things like turbo charging,
better exhaust systems, cold air intakes, some other things.
Almost all the members have the 3.0 engine.

How difficult is it to purchase these kind of parts in Turkey?

What is the speed limits on your highways?

It will be interesting to see what you decide to do.
The more powerful 3.0 has plenty of power.
The car does very well.

There is a Performance section of the forum which could help.

I'm not familiar with that kind of thing.

Good luck!

İn Turkey you can find many parts aftermarket from Taiwan. I don't prefer to use those kind of parts for my car.I always ordering from U.S Waiting 1 month.

İn here Oem Parts is really expensive (x4 times expensive than U.S) for real.
Parts is expensive than U.S but we have some cheap works here.
For example I paid 150 Bucks for all brake rotors and suspension replacement.

Actually we don't have speed limits in here, Nobody controls for speed but we have some speed cameras in specific places in the city.

Highways, you can reach any miles you want if you have chance from traffic
İstanbul has the 1 st place about traffic on the list of all world. Sunday night is the best for trying top speed. We don't have tough rules like U.S
