everything and anything can and most likely will be used against you in a warranty claim
why the heck are you not doing this stuff yourself?
if you're afraid of voiding warranty, mod the car yourself, and do all the maintenance yourself and if a problem arises, revert back to stock and take it in for warranty
just remember though that you will be committing fraud if you do that
you gotta pay to play, if you dont want to pay than keep it stock until warranty expires at 5 years or 60k miles then modify the car

i can not tell you how wrong this is, Nissan north america approves and denies all warranty claims, the dealer doesn't, regardless if your service advisor tells you and signs a notarized statement that it wouldn't void the warranty entirely(which he is not lying, if you blow your motor because of a twin turbo kit and your glove box suddenly falls off for no reason and you are under basic warranty, Nissan is required by law to fix your glove box under warranty if it is a manufacture defect), if nissan says no for reason XYZ, you can contest it, but in the meantime, you are stuck with a broken car until the court case gets settled(and chances are you will lose)
