Hello!








I just wanted to get some opinions and advice for a bike rack for my 350z. I currently have a roadbike and I plan on driving back to California from South Dakota. My last bike rack gave my bumper a couple scratches from it wobbling due to a cheap bike rack. If anyone can give me any suggestions for a good comfortable bike rack for my 350z that'd be awesome, thanks!

 

Yakima 3 bike here. Pretty secure.

 

John, how'd you mount your rack?

Hitch? When I was looking for one, couldn't find anyone to sell me a hitch nor rack. Ended up with a Boofsquire (no longer made but bought off someone on CL) with a Yak upright carrier and can add at least one more if necessary


Not my car, just a sample.

Never mounted.... when we need to take our bikes, we use the Volvo or Highlander, both equipped with 2" hitches and a 3-bike rack but nice knowing I can take my bikes on my '03 Z if needed.

 

Mic, I'm caught telling a 1/2 truth. srry. I do have the rack, and love it.
It goes on the wifes MDX.
It would get interesting trying to put it on my Z roadster trunk, haha.

 

You might consider the SeaSucker

 

I have a cheesy hatchback rack that would probably work but have never tried it on the z. I think I would just ship it home that would be a long drive with a extra thing to worry about.

 

Boofsquire is the way to go. Matthew Vroom is the inventor. hard to find them. i sold mine on here a few years ago for same price i bought it for.

 

Try to research about the Delta hunch rack. It can carry two bikes.

 

+1 for the Boofsquire rack, can haul 2 bikes on mine, super easy to take on and off. May be a chanllenge to locate one, but well worth the effort. Sorry for the poor picture quality.

 

Someone on my350z already has done it. Pics are not of my car.

 

Hi everybody, I'm thinking about purchasing a Yakima Roof Rack for my 350Z.
what kind of Q-Clips shoud I use for the roof rack?
If you come up with any good idea, Please let me know.

Thanks
Tetsu

 

You plan on adding a hitch to pull a trailer also? It would compliment your roof rack, also you need wider mirrors for towing purposes...

 

Thanks for reply. I don't plan on adding a hitch, just a yakima's base rack.
I can purchase all of Yakima products here in Tokyo, but distributor said that they don't know which q-crips is fit with my 350Z.

 

Looking for a Boofsquire or info on the Yakima setup if anyone has either.

 

No need, just remove the passenger seat
This is a big 29er so im pretty sure anything will fit... this is of course before I completely gutted the car... now I can probably put 8 bikes in there .

 

^^^^ Laff.... have done this a number of times with the seat in place and both 700c wheels in the back. BUT....after the last time - when I ended up hole punching the side panel with a brake lever or bar end, and subsequently replacing it - the Zs no longer carry bikes - and I even have a Boof rack for them.

 

I always put my bike in the trunk, I boubu thinker their of my new bikes will fit
