There is one here in the U.S. I can't think of the name as of right now, but it is to protect the consumer in a situation of this sort. In any case where modifications are put on a vehicle and there is a malfunction of any sort the dealership can not blame it on said added parts. i.e. installing an after market exhaust then all of a sudden you have electrical problems. The two are not connected but some dealers like to push the unknowing consumer around and say your warranty is voided b/c of the mod. If you are that worried about it I would remove said parts and put the factory parts back on.
Also included in this act the company must prove that which exact part did what damage. I haven't had something this severe happen and hopefully I won't but I'm sure like most people here they have had their disputes with Nissan. Keep your head up and you will get a new engine. Worst case scenario if they can salvage your engine they will which isn't a bad thing either.
That would be the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act in the US. I did not realize the OP was from Canada, and I am not sure what their laws are.... I know in the US, the MM Warranty Act does protect consumers to some degree (although still a PITA in many cases), but with the crank pulley it would likely be a long losing battle if the dealership really wants to be an a$$.... My experience is that breathing mods you can get away with most of the time, but things that directly affect the mechanics of the engine are a roll of the dice.
