This is a post by a user on gtr.co.uk, its an email from Nissan about the VDC:

So this is the mail contents I have back from Nissan
Please see our current policy detail regarding your VDC (ESP) issue below. Please note however, this is still work in progress.
Tuning:
Malfunctions caused by operation performed at workshop other than NHPC or mount of parts other than Nissan genuine will not be covered by warranty.
Driving condition:
Malfunctions caused by severe driving (eg. driving at circuit) will not be covered by warranty.
Verification of travel distance with Vehicle Status Data Recorder (VSDR) and history of parts replacement may be conducted.
Special driving condition:
Launch mode needs to be set VDC off. When the customer set VDC off, then warranty is not covered as described in the Owner Manual (OM).
Customer should be checked and maintained in NHPC before and after driving racetrack to follow special racing service intervals in OM.
System failure on the vehicle during race driving on a circuit is non-warrantable. System failure on the vehicle during city driving related to having driven the vehicle on a race circuit is non-warrantable.
NB: Specific warranty booklet will be supplied to all RBUs for translation and distribution to local network
My understanding is that essentially, any car driven on track is out of warranty until re-checked by a certified NHPC which effectively re-sets the warranty.
Effectively, any time VDC OFF is engaged, the car is out of warranty while VDC OFF is engaged.
Make of it what you will
