The entire installation process takes only a few minutes and can be done by almost anybody with basic hand tools.

Great news. Nice to see the finished product

 

looks like a good product but 160 for that little amout of metal isnt worth it to me

 

wait, what? you're buying something to help stabilize your motor, something that has been R&D'd, not a box of sheet metal washers.

anyway, good stuff Aaron. any chance you'll release one for 4th gens?

 

Just bought it!!! Hopefully I'll have it by this coming Friday for the drag races. Can't wait to try it out.
Good job Aaron!!

 

this is installed on the passenger side of engine only? And in the pictures it looks like it mounts to the timing chain cover, is that how it's designed?

 

looks like another awesome product from a great seller. keep them coming, aaron!

 

Will this work on the 6th Gens?

 

6th gen = Altima basically, so no, it wont work.

 

any pic's of this installed

 

Still waiting for the 4th gen aaron!. Come on, I have your NWP stickers plastered all over my car and I don't have any of your parts. eeek. lol

 

Sorry about that. The lower bracket is pretty tough to machine. Several different bit changes and several different machining positions. I really wanted to be able to release this for a little cheaper, but there's no way for me to do it without sacrificing quality and strength.

Yeah, there is a chance we can come up with something for the 4th gen in the future.

Thanks. It will ship out tomorrow and you should have it by Wednesday or Thursday hopefully.

Yes, this will prevent the entire engine from moving, even though it's only holding the front engine mount bracket. It is the timing cover side of the engine, but the front engine mount is securely mounted to the block, not the aluminum timing cover. It's a VERY beefy engine mount design.

Since the lower bracket utilizes stock bolt hole locations on the 02-03 Maxima, it will not fit the 6th gen, which is a different chassis. Plus, the front engine mount design is completely different than the 5th gen. As someone else mentioned, the 6th gen front engine mount is the same as found in the Altimas.

Here is a pic of one of the prototypes installed. It should give you an idea how everything fits.



Thanks for all your support. You'll love the 4th gen Thermal Intake Spacers though. They are currently in stock.

 

someone get this installed and post the results! i'm very interested.. good work aaron

 

need a test car for the 4th gens, i really want one

 

Thanks. I will definitely keep you in mind. I have another project that's a priority right now. The Intake Spacer Kit for the VQ40DE Frontier, Pathfinder, and Xterra.

 

What about Z33s?

 

this sale ends tonight?? i kept thinking its next sunday..

 

i think Z33s are covered thoroughly, but i also have 2 friends with Z33s who would be more than happy to help with product development

 

I want one for my 4th gen!

 

I know this is for 2k2-2k3 but do you think this would clear the blower on a S/C set-up ?
I'm just missing the AT before I can drop the engine back, probably in 2 weeks tough. I'm very tempted to buy one and try it out, but seeing the pics I'm not sure if that would clear the blower.

 

Any plans to produce for 6th Gens Aaron?

 

why?

Please keep your mods for cars that can actually perform for what they areeee. lol

 

Sure, anything is a possibility for the future. If there is a demand and a performance gain to be had, then it just might make it to development.

I'm sorry. The Pre-MAXUS 09 sale has ended. The Engine Torque Link kits will be available for sale at MAXUS 09 though for $140 cash only.

That's why I like to concentrate on vehicles that do not have a lot of aftermarket support, such as the Maxima and Altima.

It doesn't appear it will fit. But if you would like to give it a shot, just let me know. I'll work with you as far as accepting a return if it won't work.

Definitely. A test vehicle has already been lined up.

All our products provide a performance increase, even the 4th gen Spacers installed on the DEK. The performance increase for that setup really exceeded our original expectations.

The Intake Manifold Spacer Kit for the Frontier is specifically designed for the VQ40 engine. The UIM Spacer will be made from billet aluminum and the lowers will be made from our type of phenolic for thermal insulation purposes.

I'm a little unclear on what you mean. I always want to hear feedback from customers. Since this is off topic, send me an email at [aaron@nwpengineering.com]. I'd like to hear your suggestions. Thanks.

 

 

Is there anything like this in the works for the 5th gen 3.0L?

 

Yes there is. I am hoping this same exact torque link kit will fit perfectly in the 00-01 Maxima since the chassis is the same. We will know for sure after MAXUS 09. It should be easy for me to find a quick guinea pig at MAXUS!

 

4th Gen Please I've been wanting one of these for a long time.

 

99% sure it will fit all 5th gens, and minor mods to fit a 4th gen. I will def be getting one. I have way too much wheel hop right now

 

Thanks. We will be testing this Engine Torque Link Kit on the 00-01 Maxima. I believe it will fit, just as you mentioned. As soon as we confirm it, it will be released for that vehicle.

 

Just waiting on a few testimonials and I'll be a-buyin'.

 

SurraTT recently posted a review in this thread:

http://forums.maxima.org/5th-generat...st-thread.html

 

did anyone test fit these on a 5 grn @ MAXUS

 

I don't think we had a chance for anybody to test fit this kit on the 5th gen (00-01) Maxima during MAXUS 09.

I was so busy winning the All Motor Maxima Unlimited class at the Drag Showdown.

I will be tracking down a local test vehicle in NC so I can confirm fitment. If I can't find one soon, I may select a long time and reputable member on this forum to test fit the kit and report back to me with pictures.

I will keep you posted. Thanks.

 

I can vouch that this is a very beefy piece. I picked mine up at maxus and will install it on my 5th gen. I will do a quick test fit on a 00 maxima this afternoon. I will get some pictures this afternoon of its fittment on a 5th gen.

Also as Aaron pointed out to me, the tension rod has opposite threads unlike cheaper alternatives. This allows you to stiffen or loosen the hold without having to remove the tensioner rod and wrestleing it back in place.

Truth be told, I thought $160 or $140 seemed like alot of money also. Until you realiaze what kind of economy we are in and the depreciated value of a us dollar. I think this product is worth its price and I have high expectations of this since it is in fact a NWP product and their products are always on point.

 

Thanks Bishnu!

 

I will vouch for it as well. Sturdy design minimizes wheel hop. Overall, a great product!!

 

Thanks Roy!

 

keep us updated!!!

 

These do bolt right on to the 00-01 maximas aswell and possibly the 95-99 models also.

I test fitted it and all the holes lined up perfectly on my 5th gen.
Be caregul turning out the old rusty screws on your cars as they tend to snap off easily. I suggest spraying them down and let soak for a night or two with some pennetrating lube.

Here are some pics,

 

sorry for the ****ty pics I was getting soaked by the rain
