I have just purchased a 20th Annv. and I am looking to do some mods, but I don't want to void my manufactures warranty? What mods would someone suggest I start with?

Change the headlights and fogs
Get a FSTB any kind will do
Get an addco rear sway bar
Springs are a good way to start too
will save you money on shocks
Get a pop charger
none of these will void warrenty

A pop charger is an intake system. You remove the stock airbox and replace it with a cone intake, basically. This is converse to a CAI (cold air intake) system, where you remove the stock airbox and run a pipe into your fender well and have the cone intake outside of the engine compartment. This setup requires you cut a hole in your fender.

I believe any after-market intake *can* void your warranty, and a dealer could give you a hard enough time about any after-market add-on to have your warranty voided.

springs --warranty no good--

I have had a huge battle because of eibach lowering springs and warranty. Baxically in the nissan warranty book it says that if you use any kind of lowering or performance springs you void certain warranties because of the damage that can be done to the tranny. Also you will void your warranty on the intake if you put any thing on it except the k&n drop in filter. If you want to play it safe just do front and rear strut tower braces and rear sway bar, drop in k&n filter, and I am not sure about this one but I think that you can go with a different muffler and you will still be ok.
