Velodrome, if you're talking about a trailer hitch, I don't think too many Z owners would even think of putting a hitch on their ride. I think if you take the wheels off of your bike and put them up front, you should be able to slide the frame under the brace tho.....

Why not, you'll have to put a hitch on it to tow your autocross tires, anyway.

It still won't fit even with the wheels off. Because of the width across the pedals and the angle you would have to tilt it at to go under the strut support. Unless of course you wanna take the pedals off every time you transport it. But even then I'm guessing anything over a 19" frame {very small } won't fit.

I've seen the car and I can tell you with confidence that a 22 inch bike frame will not fit.

If they can make a bike rack for a Toyota MR2 then there will definitely be one for the 350Z. So even if it doesn't fit inside you can still take your bike(s).

Default Bike? Hitch??

Am I really reading this?

Sorry, but anyone using the Z as a utiility car to take their bike places and haul stuff doesn't get it. If you want a USEFUL car, wait for the Infinity G35 coupe.

This is NOT a practical car. I don't see too many people loading up their S2000 or ther Audi TT with a bike or a hitch either.

Default Or a used truck

Getting an old truck for a few $K isn't a terrible idea either if you have a place to park it. Drive it when you need to haul stuff or take your bike around.

Unfortunatley, while the Z is relatively inexpensive, it is still not targeted at people who can only afford one vehicle. This is a fun car, not a practical one.

Default Only Car

This is going to be my only car im selling my 95 Maxima now and my parents are buying this for me for my graduation. THe Reason I have to put the bike in I because i'm a semi pro road racer and need to go to seattle twice a month. Thanks for the Info though I think I can make it fit with a couple mods to the bike.

Must be nice. My parents gave me a car that was built when I was 5 years old, which I drove until I graduated college and was able to buy my own super-duper Neon.
