I had some issues w/ the dealership (they stiffed me on the 3M I paid for and went out of business like a week after I bought the car), so I had to settle up with corporate and all they could do was beef up my warranty. I still don't necessarily understand the ramifications of a tune w/ respect to warranty, but it sounds like it's voided if they detect a re-flash if there were any drivetrain issues...?
a tune will void your warranty if any drivetrain issues arise, even if the tune is good and the tune and aftermarket part didnt cause the issues(IE engine starts consuming oil), the dealer can say its because of the added stress the modifications caused because its running at *insert extra hp you are making here* more then what the car is rated for and they feel that they shouldn't be paying to fix something you broke and you could fight it in court but while you are doing that, your car is down and you wont be able to enjoy it and if you lose, you will still have to fix the car AND pay your attorney fees and possibly theirs as well so you end up losing even more money

its as the saying goes, if you wanna play, you gotta pay

the only time they will honor your warranty is if the modification doesnt contribute to the cause of the problem in any way shape or form(IE if turbo your Z, they still have to fix your steering wheel if the leather rips off from normal wear and tear but they dont have to fix the engine if you blow that up)


in my honest opinion, if you are really worried about warranty, just stay stock until you are out of warranty, the nismo 370z is an awesome street car stock
