Hi, I live in england (UK) has any of you guys fitted a bike rack to your Z? I have been looking at some racks from a company called Bird Automotive the rack fits onto a bracket that you bolt to the metal beam in the rear fender (Bumper) has anyone got one of these racks if so i would love to know if they are any good? Cheers guys. Mark

 

I think you're looking for the Nissan Xterra forums. A bike rack on a Z is blasphemy.

 

What I suggest is one of the rear mount bike racks that attach to a trailer hitch and is easily removed.. Putting anything on top or mounting to the bumber is crazy!

 

saw someone put 2 bicycles on top of a Z.. looked pretty freakin awesome

something like this may help? http://www.birdautomotive.com/Bike%2...san%20350Z.htm

 

A trailer hitch would bolt up real nice to the muffler...

 

this is kinda like that guy who wanted to put surf racks on his Z....

 

I still have the bird automotive bike rack (but not the Z) and posted a review on my website a long time ago.

you put one on a Z and im gonna your ****!!

 

oh damn, no wonder, first post plus he's from england ewww. bah i just kid, i have nothing against the british.

 

I was in the same boat, but was not going to place a rack on the car and scratch the paint. I liked the idea of a hitch mount, but not adding a hitch reciver that would stay on the car (the lines are too nice). So I made my own. the 2" reciever bolts in place, so when you are done transporting your bikes you can remove it.

 

^^seems like a good idea if you like riding bikes, but nothing i would do to my Z

 

Why not just lift it and go 4 wheeling and maybe after your done towing your bike around you can buy a mini RV and tow that, WOW is it me or is this guy insane, ITS A SPORTS CAR!!!

 

now your just being silly, it is just to hold bikes. some of us have hobbies, other than jerking off to our cars, sorry (OUR SPORTS CARS.)

 

this is funny......

 

Well thanks guys for the help! Some of it was usefull? Us british are not that crazy honest!

 

bs3wd,

I bet the Flames come from those with DVD players in SPORTS CARS.

I just saw someone put a bike inside their Z! That's nutz, with grease, mud, scratch potential. But for just one car payment...you do what you got to do.

Bikes are necessary for the weekend Z trips to stay fit. Several of my friends that didn't exercise weekends had heart attacks.

Please post DIY pix/instruction of your hitch install?

 

well for those that are iterestred i am making a couple more of the bike rack mounts. you can e-mail me Bs3wd@tampabay.rr.com

 

Interesting idea. I just can't picture a Z riding around with a bike rack, then again, my dad has bike rack on his M5

 

Cycling is huge in Europe so I can understand your question. I checked Yakima's web site and I was suprise they don't make one for the Z.

Why not carry it in the Z? I know it sounds absourb but if you use enough covers, and take your bike apart it might fit.

 

here is a nice one.
