It will be cool once this solution has been thoroughly tested by track drivers who have had fuel starve issues and to see how low people can go without an issue.

Does this product carry a warranty? And curious if you install this will it void manufactures warranty if it were to impact fuel air ratio and cause engine failure? That's probably important for people with cars still under warranty to know.

as stated before me, it has been tested to a completely empty fuel tank on the road course.

As for a warranty? Well, I have never stated one.. but sure I will gladly warranty it. There is actually no need to warranty it since it is almost entirely a solid state device that could never possibly wear out, except for the Walbro fuel pump that resides within it. This pump I would warranty within reason, as fuel pumps wear out and fail eventually no matter what. If someone tells me 2 weeks later it died, ya I will replace that.

It will not impact fuel/air ratios... well, except when youre making a hard right turn, you will no longer lean out the engine to the point that it cannot stay running. The factory fuel pressure regulator is still utilized, and with no change in fuel pressure, there is no change in A/F.

I was referring to Nissan warranty. If this system causes potential issue will nissan still warranty motor and systems? That pretty important for resale value.

Any time you modify or track your car, you have technical voided some part of your warranty. Some dealers will try and act like you have voided the entire warranty on the car, some understand how their vehicles work and only will not warranty the actual parts you replaced and anything they can have effects on.

This is simply a fuel pump upgrade. If you think that your dealer would try and reject your vehicle because you upgraded your fuel pump, I would highly suggest you dont brag to them about it, and all will be well.

The dealer will never know it is installed. But if you have reason to believe they are going to poke around inside the fuel tank, you could simply remove the kit and return to stock while the car is with Nissan. You should be able to remove the kit easily, with the exception of probably having to cut the 3 short blue hoses in the bag that you can see in wstar's picture.... those would probably be nearly impossible to pull off without cutting. In that event, I would send over replacements no problem, or you could buy it anywhere... its Aeroquip AQP -6 Hose.
