As the problem essentially only exist under racing type conditions I am hesitant to do that at this point. I'm sure they would be more than happy to void my warranty to solve the problem (from their perspective).

Wow - I just looked up the warranty and you're right - they do exclude racing "of any sort whatsoever". That's BS right there.

I'm tired of this. If "racing of any sort whatsoever" is "improper use" of the vehicle, then Nissan shouldn't be handing the cars out to reviewers at the MF'ing track, or even be letting reviewers drive them anywhere near a clock. It's this sickness as a society that we write up contracts that are completely the opposite of what is realistic, just so people aren't liable. I really hate lawyers...

Actually, though, the word "track" is not mentioned anywhere in the warranty - it just says you can't be "racing". I'd be tempted to say, "I was at the track, but I wasn't racing anyone". Turn their own legal crap against them

By definition racing is either head to head (i.e. wheel to wheel) or a timed event. So yes technically you should be ok doing a HPDE drive where there is no timing available, which is that way for their own insurance. But I'm sure that they could still attempt to screw you saying that it was used in a racing application.
