Got to tune the car after all those goddies to A) Make it run safely and B) Get the most out of all the money your spending. I also plan on getting a Oil Cooler with the Thermostat, I have had my temps over 260 a few times soooo. I would also go with the Stillen Pulley. I have see real gains from Vids on that part. I also dont really like UnderDrive Pullies.

Good Choice but Tune that Sh**

I think you would be better off with HFC's cause you never know where you will get stuck next! Plus you will like the sound better with HFC's over the test pipes. They are raspy and cause cabin drone. Have you looked into Berk? Z1 is really good. They hooked me up with shipping to my APO here in Germany. Ask them for a military discount

PS: I get rep points for being a fellow airman

I though about tuning but apparently it completely voids the warranty, is it unsafe to not tune it?

It can be unsafe if you are running lean, and if you are running HFC's, non-stock CAI, and CBE, you could be.

As for the warranty... if you get either Cobb or Uprev you can simply uninstall it before you go in and that will remove any traces of it.

I had no idea, is that confirmed btw? Will they really not be able to tell at all and in turn not be able to rail me when I come in with a problem under warranty?

Yeah, plenty of people have said that Nissan doesn't keep track of things like say BMW does. You'll be fine.
