warranty void if I track the car?

Step 1. Track your car
Step 2. Exerience problems
Step 3. Dealer machanic looks at car
Step 4. Sees usual wear and tear for miles
Step 5. Dealer clams abuse and voids warranty
Step 6. You argue with dealer
Step 7. You hire lawyer...Dealer hires better group of lawyers
Step 8. Dealer ties case up in court for so long you can't aford to fight it anymore

Bottom line: unless this becomes a problem across all Nissan Dealerships and a class action suit is started you are at the dealers mercy.

I had a previous car that had some work done to it (cai, cat-back exhaust, exhaust headers). Pin in the diff came out, blew a hole through the trans. I put everything back to stock and brought it in to the dealer. They fixed it but told my parents (this was a few years back and it was under their name) that the car had been 'hot rodded' and they fixed the trans but dont come back. Further talks: they could tell by the exhaust header bolts not being rusted on and coming off so easily. Parents denied it had been hot rodded, but the dealership claim stood.

Later I put a 50 shot on the car. Brought it in to have the acc belt replaced, they noted on the ticket that there was nitrous. That information quickly spread and I found myself banned from 5 local dealerships.

Lessons learned.
