Who said the Z wasn't practical?

bigdog1250 · 12-27-2011, 05:51 PM

Just a FYI for all bikers out there (at least road bikers), if you haven't already found out - bikes DO fit in our car. I was super excited to find this out over the Holidays when I brought my bike home to ride with some buddies. The frame is a 56cm, once both wheels were off it went in quite easily and had room to bring other stuff. FYI - The wheels go on top of the frame, I probably should have taken another picture with them in.

I had searched to see if this was possible before and never found an answer so I gave it a try.

Be careful! The interior of the trunk scratches really easily! Put more towels on the bike.

I packed some other stuff around the bike after so it wouldn't move around. The interior remains flawless and unscratched.

You an all rest easy now

Very nice, I wish the Z33 had the same rear strutbar setup and I could do the same

Dude, that sprocket and chain is so about to ruin your Z's interior. Nice to see that it fits, but...

I think I could fit 5 chics in a 370Z. Easily enough room.
