Ah yes sir, anything not dealer bought and installed should do it. You must always be on the same page as them to be under warranty.

Question

Lets say that you replaced the differential, then had problems with the motor. How does the differential cause motor problems?

Things directly attached or closely mouunted may not be covered say drive shaft or half shafts as installation of a diff can cause changes or errors in alignment and thus wear of U or rear CV joints bushings or bearings.

If things that don't usually fail in 150k start failing way early after a modification you can't blame Nissan Warranty for try to exclude warranty on things attached to diff.
