That's what I have always done on my several Nissans. My very experienced and trustworthy mechanic goes through those "inspect" items very quickly and for a small fraction of what the dealership charges. My read of the warrenty documents is that this is sufficient to satisfy the owner's obligations for warranty purposes. The value of the service department's "good will" toward you is debatable, as in the final analysis their warranty obligations are contractual and enforceable at law irrespective of whether or not you have been a loyal cash cow---oops, I mean customer---of theirs.
Don't mean to be argumentative but that's how I see it.
