Turns out I WON'T have to sell my 350Z!

Would that hitch require you to remove the rear bumper and valance for installation? Honestly, I don't think I have ever seen a 350Z carrying bikes before. You would be the first!

DownHillPhil · 02-27-2008, 02:07 PM

Yeah I'm gonna have to do some surgery on my baby...but as you said, here's to blazing a trail for bikers everywhere

I'll have to park next to the local Z06 that has a roof rack and take some pics.

Anybody work at a shop that can hook me up?

I'm seeing the exaust melting the tires with that set-up

Thats ok, I run semi-slicks on my DH bike (cuz i'm broke, not out of preference...

) so it'll keep 'em grippy

I loved my 350 but it had to go du to the whole bike thing. I had a trunk rack set up made by Saris I think and it worked but the car was getting beat up... Paint was chipping anfd I coiuld not find a hitch for it so away she went. I still remember scraping the bottom on rocks going down the fire road at SART. damn good times in a damn nice care enjoy and let me know how it works out... I may switch back

That's why you guys need to get a beater SUV or truck, AND keep the fun car. I have a 4wd Pathfinder and a turbo Infiniti G20.

I agree...i own a 95 toyota pick -up for my bikes and my 07 G35S sedan for fun.

Funny thing is...i would get rid of the G35 before the truck.
