    Basically nothing its only a 3L naturally aspirated motor.... Its not going to go hard without forced induction.

    u could change ur diff ratios, that makes it jump better but a 3L n/a motor isnt going to be a power house until u put either some psi into it or rebuild it for more performance (cam, bore, pistons, head work.)

    the only was is to do alot of work on the engine itself i got a quote for a twincam conversion which would give me a 300hp strong n/a motor but is was around $7k and anymore power would need to be forced

    Give it a good service to start with..

    advance the timing to 20 degrees

    make sure the a/f meter is tuned within its parameters

    get a set of extractors and a 2.25" exhaust

    And if its an auto.. may aswell not do any of the above because a stock manual will still be faster and better on fuel,,

    track down a manual conversion

    the auto locks up on each forward gear
    the nissan engine revs out and will do 200kph which should be more than enough for presumably a young inexperienced driver

    a set of premium tyres and an advanced driving course will keep you alive and with us longer
