Installation of R-Tune components
could void factory warranty
I don't believe any Nismo R tune parts will void your warranty..but Nissan won't warranty if they cause damage...is that the same thing???
It depends on your dealership. In dealing 3 years with customer relations and how the dealer responds to any modifications is on a case by case basis. Most dealers give a sour face and turn you away.
Plus, most of the public is no where near as technically savvy as dealerships and they will throw some mumbo jumbo at consumers against warranty repairs, that is, when mods are installed. Speaking of dealerships, they often don't like to perform warranty repairs; book time sucks when it comes to warranty.
So, lets say that you install headers on your X and now your trans starts to slip, sure mag mossy is supposed to protect you, but the dealer cries that you have installed off-road parts on an on-road vehicle and those parts are intended for racing, therefore you have been racing your vehicle and have most likely, as a result, used your vehicle in a manner for which it was unintended.
Now maybe you just wanted to add that little bit of extra power and the two components aren't even linked, but time and time again, I see dealerships fight tooth and nail against repairs whenever they find a modification on a vehicle. There are exceptions, but they are getting few and far between.
