Default Would pulleys finish of my warrenty?

I have a Borla TD and an Injen CAI installed already and really want to do the Unorthodox Pulley kit as well. My car, however, is an 05 with only about 5,000 miles on it, so I would like to hold onto the warrenty a little bit longer. Any advice on the matter or any methods of disguising the Unorthodox pulleys as stock would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Some people say pulleys will cause warranty issues but I have the 3 piece set, have showed it off to my dealer and have had the car serviced under warranty many times. I think it only becomes an issue when the part is directly related to the failure. Like if you got the pulleys and the balance got thrown off (due to installation or part defectiveness) and damaged your crank. If they could specifically point to the pulleys as the cause of the failure then you are stuck. However, if your tranny goes out they can't say "hey you have an intake and pulleys so your warranty is void" because the tranny is not affected by these parts.

I've had my pulleys for about 8500 miles now. I had Performance Nissan install them and they replaced the belts for me already. No problem. I paid for the replacement belts and they paid for the labor. The belts were making a lot of noise and I couldn't stand it any more. Just make sure that you have it done by a reputable shop that will stand by their work.

fwiw, die die had his tranny replaced under warranty. nissan sent a rep out to look at his tranny. while the rep was there, die die asked him what would void the warranty. he said breathing mods wouldn't, but fi, ecu modification, ud pulley would.
i'm just relaying what die die told me.

If they are installed by a mod friendly dealer, there shouldn't be a problem if the warranty claim is for the engine.

Thanks maybe I'll call up the dealer I purchased from and just clear everything 100% before I make a decision as to buying or not. O and I was wondering also, does it pay to get the extra pieces as well or is there not much difference with just gettin the crank pulley.

The other pullies are just icing on the cake. If you can afford them, get them. They do add eye candy under the hood but they really don't do anything for performance.
