Just got back from dealer regarding P0420....
Bob Moore Nissan here in Norman has told me that they will replace the cat after I took it in with the P0420 code. I had no problems with them trying to charge me for anything as they agreed it was covered under the 8yr/80k mile warranty. They had to order the part today and it should be in first thing next week -- when they will fix it.
However, they did tell me that the right outside CV boot is ripped and is leaking (never have seen a leak or a problem until they mentioned it today) and said it would cost 220 to fix. I said no thanks and told them that I would get it fixed on my own. I will probably post another thread asking for help (or how difficult) in replacing this boot.
Overall, I am happy that Bob Moore gave me no flack. They get an A today.

whats the build date on your 01 AE? I hope they actually tested to see what ecu version you have with the consult II before replacing your cat cause you'll still get the code otherwise.

The problem is a cat failure, the new parameters for the reprogram vs readings = outside parameters
Replace B1 Pre cat, front pipe.(basically what a Y Pipe is considered.)
Thats for 420
430 = B2, manifold pre cat on front of vehicle.
Repairing the boot is not that bad, I've done it for another .org member in NY on my lift at the dealership in under an hour.
Tried on the floor with jack stands, and no air tools, never again. 3hrs+

ya, problem is that I have no access to a lift -- just jacks and jack stands, lol. I can't afford 220 dollars right now to get this done at the dealer, so I will have to figure something out. I guess I won't be getting that ypipe now.
