No sounds or ABS flashing lights?
I would for sure contact your dealer as the ABS is a safety feature that needs to be working at all times. You could have a faulty ABS sensor that needs to be replaced and this sort of thing would clearly be under warranty.

Wait a minute....before contacting the dealer I think consideration has to first be given to the fact that he was doing x-events and that more precise details need to be given as to what exactly he was doing at the exact moment he noticed the ABS abberation.
It is entirely possible that the forces being created as a result of his driving reaction to the course could have created a wheel "reaction" that falsely simulated a condition that would normally trigger the ABS system as if the true condition that would trip the sensor trigger had actually happened (though it didn't).
In that case the ABS action would be entirely normal and is not something the dealer or Nissan should even get involved in since the car was being driven outside the normal driving parameters the car was primarly made to be driving under. That is the assumption of the risk on the owners part since the owner is driving the car in conditions beyond the intended use.
What we don't need is some stupid and pre-mature knee-jerk reaction by these drivers who want to push the envelope with their car that starts some kind of media bandwagon witch hunt like is happening to Toyota and Honda.
