Hello, I just found this site for Sentras, recently bought a 2002 GXE, Silver, 5-speed, 1.8, pretty much fully loaded except for sunroof. I was just wondering about mods, especially engine and exhaust. I understand it's a relatively new engine for Nissan, any recalls/problems for these yet? Can I expect any headaches in the future? Also, I've been experiencing weird gas mileage, it's only getting around 15-20 in the city, around 25-30 on the highway, I would've expected more. I know it's a new engine (4400 miles) but I'm thinking it wasn't broken in properly, I bought it with 420 miles on it. Probably dumbass test-drivers maxing it out too soon, perhaps destroyed it...? Thanks in advance, sorry for the list.

Thanks Marvin, great looking Sentra by the way. I also found some tech help on NissanPerformanceMag.com as well. I've loved Nissans for a long time, still can't believe I got rid of my 93 Pathfinder for a car! Oh well, in time I'll buy another Pathfinder and keep the Sentra though (or get a 350Z!!!).

NP! Man, my mom used to own a '88 Pathfinder 2 door. It was the greatest SUV on the planet at the time for me. I loved driving that thing! Too bad she wrecked it and got a 92 Camry.
