if i install an aftermarket radio and suddenly my speakers arnt working, ya my modification caused the defect but if i installed an aftermarket radio, and my glove box handle broke, they still have to fix my glove box under warranty unless proven otherwise(whether it is through misuse or my aftermarket radio)...

I am 100% aware of this, BUT, the information I spread is NOT false info... If you're saying your aftermarket radio controls your speakers, and if the speakers give out, YOUR modification caused caused the defect... The ECU controls the engine... Pushing it or modifying it outside of the factory specs, ANY tuning is considered "outside" the factory specs, because if the stock ECU notices anything it cannot correct by itself due to your mods, it will throw a CEL, kinda the reason behind a CEL...
When people ask what mods effect warranty I explain whatever you had to touch to install that mod, usually loses it's warranty (On intakes you'll usually lose the warranty on MAF sensors, on HFCs you'll lose the warranty on the O2 sensors)
No, you do not lose the warranty on the WHOLE car, I didn't say that, I just said at LEAST the engine... They can claim more parts are out of warranty (reason stated below) But yeah, you can have a
different engine in your car, they'll still fix your window as long as you're under some type of warranty on that.
The only mod I know of that can't really effect your warranty in any way is a CBE (even though it kinda clashes with the other info I've posted below)
Also, the other beautiful advantage Nissan has, is that they can say, even on my car that has full breather mods, 'because my car has more horsepower than stock, I put extra stress and strain on the engine and transmission and anything really related to the drivetrain'. Now, if
I have catastrophic failure, you best bet your arse that I'm reverting to stock, but when you revert your ECU back to stock, they WILL KNOW that. (Same with things like the MAF sensor, they can say I overworked it, or I overworked the O2 sensors or they got too fouled because the HFCs aren't as efficient as stock cats)
I do not mean to attack you, but since you're looking through my posts, on other threads as well, I am going to link that thread as well:
Be Careful with UpRev in Mass
And if a STATE can tell how many times you flashed your ECU and they won't pass your car for inspection, what makes you think corporate, who has to shell out THOUSANDS of dollars, won't do the same, and deny a warranty claim?
