Looking for tips on a nice "warranty build"

[No3jz]

I'd like to keep retain my lifetime powertrain warranty but I am okay with losing it. I understand there is some risk but I'm thinking I'm not wanting a lot of extra torque/hp and I can fix cars myself if anything happens. In the future, I'll go crazier with mods as the platform develops.

I'm thinking suspension(thats its own topic), cdv delete, wheels, jb4, down pipe (catless with jb4?), mst air intake.

I don't really need a lot more power I just want to be able to drift this car a little easier. I think a tune could really help tighten some things up.

Is there anything else to add to the build list and I am picking the best tuning platform? I also could use a tuner that could help me with this.

One cannot have all those mods and keep warranty

If you want it to drift easier, put a stiffer sway bar at the rear and go zero toe at the rear.

This is all a huge contradiction. Do you want the mods or the warranty? How are you not able to drift the car as is?? It has plenty of power with driver aids off. I also have no clue how a tune could ‘tighten some things up’. I think you need to consider your first statement more closely. Also please drift on the track. Not on the road, you’ll hurt my insurance rates.

I watched intial d last night and I think he’s on to something. Go buy a 350z if you’re learning to drift. This car is beyond what one needs to link a track.

Well jb4 isn't a tune in the traditional sense.

As long as you keep your stock dp and are willing to put it back on before going to the dealer it isn’t a problem. The jb4 is a piggy back you can also take off if you have to go for warranty work. They make several catless dp that avoid the CEL I used the armytrix one, SPL makes the suspension stuff you need to give you what your looking for, rear toe and traction bars, front lca and the sway bar links with your choice of coils.
jb4/dp made a world a difference in my car power wise and it’s reversable for warranty concerns.

all fine, just remove whatever as needed for warranty work. this is at your own risk!

have you done this? You are not far from me at all and I'd like to see what the car drives like with some of these mods one day

rigth! I think a lot of people can confuse them. Still Jb4, has its risks but they are not super huge like a femto unlock and so on
