Which exhaust.. Beaudesert or Redback ?

[BearGUST]

I've read a few posts about Nissan's poor reputation on warranty claims, very disappointing.
I agree that salesmen are generally hopeless but this service manager that Ronin has spoken to is obviously trying to get on the front foot regarding any mods. I've worked at dealers and for manufacturers for 15 years, if a failure occurred its up to Nissan to prove your mods caused it.

Yeah but is it worth all they angst, Read Goats post on" over heating 2010"
But thats hopefully a one off.

Like Beargust said, to get the most out of a troll. It seems to struggle going uphill with a few mates in and a slab or two of beer.

yeah I read goats thread about how Nissan gave him the run around. That thread has definitely given me second thoughts.

maybe I should hold off....

Before I did anything to my last truck and this one I sent Nissan service manager an email with my intentions of doing mods to the vehicle. I asked him if any would void my warranty.
I have it in writing now saying no problems, unless directly causing the problem warranty will stand.
He also agrees a better exhaust is beneficial as standard is too restrictive.

Another option would be to just change the cat and muffler to a hi-flow ones and get rid of the rear resonator bit.

that sounds like an awesome plan...

Haha, I'm tipping same reason everyone else does mods. That's pretty much the reason forums like this exist.

It's interesting that the service manager said that you have to prove that any mods didn't cause a failure, it's more like the other way around. They sell the car with a warranty, if something breaks and they don't want to honour the warranty-they have to prove that it's your fault.

unfortunately in a court of law this is not the case, it is the owner to prove he hasnt done something that may have caused premature failure of a component if the dealer believes it maybe related, its a catch 22 for the owner

As I say, I've worked in the Automotive industry for 15 years. My experience is definitely the other way.

sorry but I disagree there mate. why would the owner have to prove anything. if nissan is blaming something on a mod they have to prove it is causing the issue

[mudski]

Agreed, they would have to justify why the cracked head was caused by the hidden glove box mod...Lol.

And 10/10 times Nissan will win dragging you back to court, he with the most money wins.
Nissan would want only Nissan approved gear on their 4x4 and rightly so, but sorry Mr Nissan
its not a perfect world
