I got a reply in writing when I went in yesterday for my service. I know the manager so I had his business card. He couldn't reply direct as he is in sales not service, so it was passed on to the service manager for his response.
The response is summarised to this -
The car is yours so you can fit any part you like and it won't void the warranty directly. However, if a part is fitted such as an exhaust which is known to burn out the exhaust valves, we
may not warranty the engine in the event of failure. If the windscreen wiper motor failed, this would still be covered as an exhaust modification is unrelated.
It all means that they hold the right to reject a claim that can be linked to the modification, but unrelated failures will be covered as expected. Fair enough I guess.
The sales manager then said, "we are by the book on this stuff but it's up to you if you want to take the risk. Plenty of guys bring in modified Nissans which is fine"
I think I'll wait another few months before modding it though as I want to ensure everything is well bedded in case a warranty claim is needed.
I also asked about getting the 19" as a special order and maybe even the Nismo 19" which he said is possible, but would have to confirm. I'll email him on that now.
