If the side skirts flared out after being at the dealer I would suspect something like what happened to me occurred. Usually dealers or other mechanics who know little to nothing about the Z put the lift on the frame not on the notched area and this flares out the side skirts. On my first ever oil change my mechanic put it on the lift and I saw immediately the side skirts bulge, I said uhhhh thats not right and by the time we had the car down they were malformed and flared out where the lift was set. If you had it at a Nissan dealer id assume they are incompetent to start, ask how they lifted the car, I bet they dont even know about the notches in the frame and could have likely flared out the side skirts. A little heat and a skilled hand can make it less noticeable but I still notice it on my car where anyone else wouldnt. Just my 2 cents, but this sounds like what happened to me.
