Dealership Warranty

agreed.

To what?

The dealership doesn't void any warranty. The warranty provider reserves the right to.
Especially aftermarket warranty.

Agreed because they sell aftermarket, could care less about factory warranties.

All I can find about that is "Nissan Security+Plus".

OP should check who is the warranty provider, it's usually Endurance

"Nissan Security+Plus is administered by Nissan Extended Services North America GP ("NESNA")....Franklin, TN 615-725-1000" which is under the Nissan umbrella, i.e. factory extended services. Nissan has many other coverages, finance, etc. The Extended Services (Security+Plus) is one of them. You can go to any Nissan dealer to claim warranty work.

I was going to ask OP if he happened to have this coverage, but the Nissan coverage is just extended, the "lifetime" stuff is a scam, and although some people think it's "free", ain't no such thing, the cost was buried somewhere in the vehicle purchase

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is a 1975 federal law that protects you from deceptive warranty practices and prevents automakers from unfairly voiding your warranty. It is frequently used as a federal "lemon law" to hold manufacturers accountable for persistent vehicle defects. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Key Ways It Protects Car Owners

• Aftermarket & Custom Parts: Using aftermarket or recycled parts—or having an independent mechanic do your routine maintenance—does not automatically void your factory warranty. [1]
• The Burden of Proof: To deny warranty coverage, the manufacturer must prove that the aftermarket part or independent repair directly caused the specific defect or failure. [1, 2]
• Remedies for Unresolved Issues: If a manufacturer or dealership cannot fix a substantial defect under warranty after a reasonable number of attempts, the Act allows you to sue in court to get a replacement vehicle, a refund, or compensation for your losses. [1, 2, 3, 4]

The company I am dealing with is New Global Administrators and apparently they believe that cold air intakes cause major engine failures on a regular basis. Atleast that is what the lady that I spoke to told me. She also said she has been in the business for over 14 years and never heard of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. I told her I understood why since it was enacted so recently, it had only been in affect since 1975. She didn't think it was funny.

MM has no bearing on aftermarket 3rd party warranties.

Regardless, your car looks awesome!

According to the lawyer I spoke to it does. They just a little less of a burden of proof because of the "contract" but they cannot just completely blanket statement void it. They will refuse to pay then you would have to hire a lawyer to fight it in a legal battle.

Good luck. Everything is grayzone to a lawyer.
Saying that gets him paid...

Possibly. I don't have anything to fight yet. I would say screw it if my wife wouldn't get pissed about it. I told her they will do everything in their power to deny the claim no matter what even if i don't do my small upgrades

Aftermarket warranties have hundreds of loopholes in the terms. When you accept the warranty, you accept the terms in the fine print.

Also, CAI can damage your engine. Many people just want to tinker with their cars, and they have a cheap mentality so they buy garbage CAI because it's cheap and the filters let too much particles past, it'll definitely tear up an engine. Pick a good CAI and keep it maintained and you'll be fine in regards to engine life. However, there's probably something in the warranty terms about modified intakes, and that would be an automatic denial of coverage. Just don't ever let them know you have them, always put the stock intakes back on.

If i move forward it will be NISMO installed at the dealership. I don't go cheap unless the results don't really matter to me. I have learned 90% of the time you will get back what you put in.

I just had an interior door panel replaced under warranty (part cost was quoted to be over $1K). They honored my warranty despite my aftermarket seats, suspension, brakes, exhaust and engine components, albeit several parts are NISMO. I think what helped me is my OEM+ build and selecting parts that could almost pass as factory. Having a good relationship with the staff also really helps with their interpretation of a "modified" car.
