Since we aren't in charge of organizing MAXUS 2010, I don't know if we'll be there selling products. We'll know for sure as more event information is released in the coming few months.

It's good to hear from you again Josh! I'm sorry, no there are not any updates. But this Engine Torque Link kit would be a VERY nice modification for anybody who races or drives aggressively. Right now, it's looking like the kit for the 6th gen (04-08 Maxima) won't be looked at until this summer and hopefully will be released by this Fall or Winter.
I hope you're doing ok.

Nope, sorry. We have one project ahead of that one right now (VQ40DE Frontier, Pathfinder, Xterra Spacers). Then we'll be able to take a look at the 6th gen Maxima. It will probably be another year before we'll have anything in the works as far as an Engine Torque Link Kit for the 6th gen Maxima.
Bump for a great product. And Happy Thanksgiving!

After 5 months of daily driving with the Torque Link, I just removed it for Winter. What a shock! I completely forgot how soft and numb the car is without this engine brace. Going normal is, well... weird somehow. But this feels like the appropriate thing to do for winter driving, snows & steelies.
Aaron, I'm planning on having the rod powdercoated over winter.
And just this week, rroderiques77 polished his. It looks great! Here's a picture of his work:

Aaron, we still on the list for the 08's? I've got the traction rod kit ( http://racinglineperformance.com/sho...&idcategory=25 ) from racingline performance. Once your product is made, will this cause and negative pull or anything that would reduce the effort of the traction rod? What will this do or am i making the engine block to stiff by adding your product. Are these to products the same thing? I'am really anxious to get your product once it's made.

Well, I wanted to give my .02 cents on this product. Just received it yesterday and installed yesterday. Thanks Aaron for the speedy shipping!
To start off:
Installation:
Simple since I applied WD-40 to all the necessary bolts several times before I actually got the ETL. The only bolt that gave me some issue during the installation was the one in the middle bracket that is not used before the ETL goes on. It is right under the lower head of the coupler and was a tight squeeze to tighten but no biggie.
Review:
When I first turned on the car I heard a different tone in the car, not sure if it is me and anybody else has had this but the different tone was a good change. I might be hearing things but just wondering if anybody else had this same outcome...
The ride was enhanced in every way possible, I had a big smile on my face after the trip. I noticed less vibration when at a light and driving around, the turns were easier to drive, the shifts smoother, hardly any wheel hop from an aggressive take off, better control of the car on highway lane changes and all this combined made the ride more enjoyable. Like somebody else said this is the way the car should have come from the factory and I really think this will make a huge difference in track times!! I can't wait to see that difference!
Once again, Aaron has created a well manufactured, high quality product to make our cars better.
I recommend it 100%!!
Well worth it!!

A very little amount of vibrations is transferred to the chassis. You may feel this extra vibration in the steering wheel. But, most people leave the Engine Torque Link connected on the street. But if you are bothered by the slight increase in vibrations, we designed this Torque Link so that it can be removed in a matter of a few seconds. You can leave it disconnected on the street and only connect it up at the track, or you may decide to leave it connected all the time.

One of the best mods i've done so far it's an absolute must have for the Maxima enthusiest.Less engine movement,easier shifting and clutch engagement and eliminated my wheelhop issue.Thanks again Aaron.

As of right now, we don't have any plans to put these on sale. But if anything changes, I'll be sure to post on Maxima.org.
We've never put this kit on sale since it's so new and priced so well at $160. The mounting brackets are a work of art. Especially the lower bracket which is made from ONE solid piece of steel without any welding.

Aaron, what would it take to make the 6.5 gen (2008 - mine) torque link for the maxima's and the 3.5 Altimas that are being asked about? I know you had talked about sometime this summer, however what is needed??

Well, I already have test vehicles at my disposal. But, I won't be able to start any new projects until the current ones are complete and business slows down. Right now, I don't expect business to slow down enough until this Winter when the tracks close for the season. I'm sorry.
