So today, I went to my standard dealership and another dealership to ask about the gauge install. At both dealerships the desk person sent me to talk to the senior technician. And at both dealership they said the same thing: An oil cooler will void my power train warranty. The oil filter sandwich plate will void the warranty. Any gauges that require taping into the coolant system will void the warranty. The said that a TP for an AFR meter is very borderline and they both recommended against it. The said the Nismo CAI is covered and the CBE is acceptable because it is easily removable and fairly common.
However, both of them seemed to think the scan gauge was a good idea and that it sounded like it in no way would affect the warranty. So because of that I will be getting a scan gauge. I hope this info will help other people who are interested in modifying within their warranty. Those are the recommendations straight from the dealership. I will take their word over anyone else's because they are the ones who decide what they will and will not pay for when something breaks under warranty.
