Just bumping this topic to let everyone know (if they dont already) Aftermarket parts do not cause you to lose you warrenty as long as they dont cause the issue you are going in to get looked at. On my 07 Cobalt SS Supercharged i had the following mods:
TVS Supercharger Swap
60lb fuel injectors
meth injection
heat exchanger
lowering springs
gen 1 halo lights with HID's
stereo system
and a few other parts....warrenty was still a go.
Now incase some of you are thinking "well that was a GM not a Nissan" well this past weekend I brought my Z in to get looked at. I'm having issues with my climate control and speakers. I have Stillen G3 Intakes, tinted tail lights, black out headlights with 8000K bulbs in them and chromed amber bulbs in tail lights and of course lets not forgot the one thing that most dealerships hate seeing....nitrous. Had the bottle in sight and everything. Brought the car in, left for alittle while, came back. Fixed and my bill was $0.00...warrenty coverd it. I been told by managers from different nissan and gm dealerships...the aftermarket part has to cause the issue for the warrenty to be voided. For example (happend to me)
Had a few mods on my Cobalt and reverse lights wouldnt turn on. (switch box was broken) they tried to bs me saying i have aftermarket parts so warrenty is voided...i told them there is no way in hell that a CAI and lowering springs caused that....once they figured out i knew what they were doing they used the warrenty.
Another occasion with my cobalt....i had 1 step colder spark plugs. I didnt torque the #4 plug to the specs and it came loose. It blew 2 plugs and the chamber apart causing $500 worth of damage. Damage was caused by aftermarket part so warrenty was no good.
Moral of this long post. Dont let dealerships bs you!..lol
