GTNot trying to pick on your company, but did they do any sort of scientific analysis? Many polymers look very similar. Most can be categorized by sight and/or feel but not specifically identified that way. I have some experience in the field of plastics. Was it "determined" or was it "probably" ABS?

Just trying to learn more about your organization.

For anyone wondering, this is along the lines of crimps versus soldering versus wire nuts. They all do the same thing but they're not all the same.

Great question, our guys do test everything to make sure they have the best solution. There are times we do not do it because we know it is not a long term solution.

Good Morning Gentlemen,

Our guys looked at the part and determined it was an ABS material. That makes sense for the durability of the part. We reproduced it in ABS to assure the same properties as the OEM Part. We are all car guys over here so we know the importance of doing things right the first time. We are always here to help anyway we can.

Thanks for the quick reply. Sounds like "best guess". Not a huge deal, unless you're replacing something like an injector insulator. Be careful with the more demanding applications.

Just exploring the internet. Good luck with your venture.

Can we just be thankful folks out there are trying to keep these S30’s alive . It’s going to come to a point where parts are dwindling far more than they already have. Personally speaking for myself I am thrilled that innovative ideas arrive and we can move forward. Once they do or do not fail we all learn from it and continue to improve. My 2 cents.

Okay. Two weeks, two years, it's all enough reason to be...

Sorry. That was a bit much.

Let's see what happens.
