I must admit I would go back to the dealership.

You would be stupid to tell any one what you were doing.

Mind you If I had the money to replace the motor I would.

Except the internals would be a lot nicer. :P

Then again I wouldn't mod the car and do some thing as stupid as he did without knowing I could replace the motor if it went bang.

The world is a cruel place. :)

hehe, well american - explains 95% of it.

Just lucky with the Nissans the stock turbo goes pop before the rest of the engine does :P not a bad Idiot proofing. Doesn't say much for the intelligence of the WRX management though to let it hose itself without some sort of basic protection. Then again, it does sound like he lost an oil line to the turb .. not much you can do about that i guess.

Holy crap.

OK, the guy was a bit of a novice and overmodded his car. BUt you have got to be a sick twisted ***hole to dob someone in to the dealer over this one.

I mean like he said he did get it done by a mechanic and they coulda/shoulda told him or warned him.

Makes you appreciate good tuners!

I would try and defraud the dealership too but I have no morals. What they did was harsh, but on the other hand, he did deserve it.... and he was pretty foolish, especially going to a 3rd dealership and signing saying he hadnt modded the car.

Would love to know what happened to him in the end.

      I downloaded the apps (for windows) and Consult 1 doesn't have this function on it for the Consult 1 plug which I'm pretty sure all Skylines have. You would think someone would have a workaround after 30 years for all Skylines which have ABS.

      Also, I don't know the actual ABS system on the skylines, but a sneaky thing could be a piece of electronic equipment that makes the ABS think you're moving, and then same piece can send a signal for a locked up tyre... Activate ABS without slamming brakes...

      The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.
