3yr 36k. Some dealers **** and moan tell you its not. BUT it is, just tell them you want to talk to the manager. If that dead ends tell them you will call Nissan.
I don't even argue about it. We just resurface it. Unless you have porked your brakes and theres little pad left.

There's a little hole in the rotor. Use a small flat head screw driver and turn the round wheel inside the rotor (inside the hole) to release the ebrake pads. It's just like how it was with the old drums brakes.
Use a flash light to peak into the hole. You'll see what I'm talking about.
Do you see the additional hole in the rear rotors you bought? That's what they're there for. Bro, don't sweat it. You'll be fine.

That's how it works. The OE rotor gets stuck from usage. Nothing major. I just did my front end this past saturday.
Install new rotor
Install Caliper Bracket - bolt back on with those two big bolts. Tighten the hell out of it.
Pads - make sure to leave the pad guides on the caliper bracket
Compress Caliper with C Clamp
slide the caliper back on the pads and rotor, bolt caliper to caliper bracket with the two "smaller" bolts.
install the wheels and torque
drive around to test
torque lugs again after you drive
This is what I do everytime I do my brakes.
Back rotors - Remember to turn the eBrake pads to the original place or as close as you can get it.
Remember: Your brakes might make a little noise for the next few 100 miles or so. They need to be broke in.
Take your time and do it right.

Did you buy the paint kit? I know dupli-color has one. Not sure if it's worth it. It comes with a cleaner. The instruction say to use a hard bristle toothbrush. You might want to try that. It has to be better than a rag.
