What are some mods that wont void most warrantys?

 

Shorty antenna mod.

 

K&N drop in air filter.

 

rimmed up with killers system

 

What about exhaust or springs?

 

You can mod anything you want on your car... As long as it doesn't cause something to break and they can prove it was the aftermarket part that caused the damage...

I've even heard of people that have test pipes/hi-flow cats and they get a new engine due to oil consupmtion...

I had lowering springs on my Z and they still fixed the axle click, they just noted it on the service write up that I had aftermarket springs...

As long as the mod doesn't cause a failure on your car, you're good!

 

dude you are making a lot of threads. With Question that already have been answered ever since these vehicles were out.

do some searching bruh!

 

Thanks haha i appreciate it

 

Pretty much what SdZ33 said.

But it also depends on your dealer. Some can be real **** about it, others can be quite lax.

There's a local dealer that's built a good reputation for taking care of modified cars up here. Doing warranty work etc. As a result they get a lot of business from the people with modified Infinities and Nissan's. Its a win-win for both the dealer and the car owners.

 

There can't be too many 350Z's out there that are still under a factory warranty. I don't think any of the factory warranties exceeded 5years. If you are talking aftermarket warranties, you need to read the fine print and see what they say about modifications.

 

He doesn't even have to search. It's been addressed in the Top 100 Questions thread - something he should have already read.

 

Noobs will never read the 100Q thread, never.

 

This. Not until you figure out a way to make it mandatory that they visit that page before they can post - which is probably impossible.

 

I swear there was literally this EXACT same thread the other day.

You can do ANY mods you want while the car is under warranty. The dealership and Nissan can NOT deny a warranty claim based solely on the fact the you've modified your vehicle. They must prove that the modification is what caused the damage that you're requesting warranty coverage for. So if you install lowering springs and the engine blows up, the engine will be covered. Now, if you install lowering springs, then try to get Nissan to warranty your lower control arm bushings, they'll probably try to fight you. In that case, you could try to argue that there's been plenty of stock cars with LCA bushings fail. If you install lowering springs and try to get Nissan to replace your shocks, then they have the right to deny that.

Oh, and there's no such thing as a manufacturer being able to void your warranty. They can deny individual CLAIMS, but they can't just void the entire warranty.

Read the Magnusson-Moss Act.
