Need help badly

Mt Tam I am

Since I was contemplating this mod, why do the filters need to come off twice per year? And does this screw up the factory warranty? Thanks.

Well the filters dont have to come off twice a year. They have to come off when they get dirty, which I think is every 20 30,000 miles. So someone like me it would take me years before I had to clean them. As for the warranty, If you some how suck water or a rock into the engine because you didnt install them properly then yea it will void your warranty. But if you install them and a month later you blow your rear they wont void your warranty. The failure has to be becasue of the part you installed.

What is a DIY and if someone has the info for removing the front end in PDF please e-mail it to me. Taking the front end off isnt easy. So far I have the skid plate off, both front wheel well covers removed and and the plastic snap pins from top side of front bumper and I'm still looking for bolts to unscrew.

Do It Yourself

Did you remove the bolt in the wheel well behing the liner? it looks silverish once removed you can pull the edge of the bumper towards you to release it from the clips that temp guide it into place. place masking tape on the fender line near the edge of the bumper so you don't aciddentaly scratch the fender removing it and reinstalling it.

Eh, not so much. GM has voided many warranties due to CAI's. Yes, a company can void a warranty for this mod.

A CAI will change air-fuel ratio. This can change how warm/cool an engine runs. It adds more power. That means ANYTHING in the driveline that fails, can TECHNICALLY be traced to the CAI. Blew your rear end? Well that 20whp more may have done it. Care to prove otherwise? Can't. You lose.

Of course, this also depends on not only Nissan corp. but your dealership and how far they are willing to stick their neck out for you.

But as we all know a CAI alone on the 370 will not affect the AFR enough to cause any damage to the engine. This is why cars are so advanced today. They have these things called "computers" ever hear of them? They make lots of little magical adjustments to protect the engine from improper AFR. As for the added HP breaking something in the drivetrain it would be very hard fro Nissan or any other Car Company to (A) Prove the part you installed even added power. And (B) Figure out a way that the extra power directly caused the faliure. Dont get me wrong there gonna BS there way out of paying for the damage but you will win if you fight them especially if its something like a blown rear, engine, etc.
