Yet another thread to prove the Z "trunk" is much more spacious than it seems at first :tup:

This needs to be a DIY or How TO
:tup:

Has anyone tried mounting their bike to the back of the car with a bike carrier?

I would not try this with the Nissan paint being so horrible. I have 2 scratches near my trunk and I'm extremely careful when I put stuff in and out.

EXACTLY. In fact, I cringed when I saw the OP's first pic... of the bike resting on the trunk. Eeek. Anything that touches the paint has a potential to scratch/swirl/mar, etc..... more so a bike seat. But to each his own, I'm a swirl hater, so all my cars are polished to perfection.

On topic, OP, nice job fitting it in there though.... however, I don't see a pic with the trunk hatch actually CLOSED!!! :stirthepot:

Or...

Easier!

Only works on the non-NISMOs, of course. :icon17:

Oh cool...serves as a wheelie bar too :)

Awesome! I figured there was someone that did it. Great find m4a1mustang

That's actually my old Z in that pic. I helped the Boofsquire people with the test fitment. It's a pretty nifty system if you want the ability to haul a bicyle, skis, small kayak, etc. :tup:

now if only i could get my 29er MTB in the car. :shakes head:

Take wheels and seat post off. Pad and wrap carefully. Space really isn't much of an issue when you set it in once or twice but if there's anyone with a bike that actually needs a DIY I can take more pics. 700C, 56cm frame.

Believe me, I know. Someone already owes me paint. :mad:

I can't quite read the brand of the carrier. Who makes it?

The company is called Boofsquire. They are a little pricey but well made and really the only option for the Z.

I don't think 200 bucks is that terrible for a bike rack that will not screw your car up.
