Boofsquire Roof Racks Looking for DC Area 370Z Owner
 

Hi guys,

We're looking for a Washington, DC area 370Z owner that is interested in trading us some quality time with their Z in exchange for one of our new roof rack systems.

There have been a few posts on this forum about our Roof Rack System for the 350Z, but up until now we had not developed a system for the 370Z. We've started getting more inquiries about the 370Z, but need access to car for measurements and photoshoot.

If you're one of those unfortunate owners in the DC area torn between the car they wanted and the sports they need... drop me a line either through boofsquire.com or the message system on this forum. We'd need two meetings, one for the sizing and a second for a photoshoot with the rack on the car. Your car gets (kinda) famous and you keep the roof rack system.

Thanks,
Matt

Interesting...I was wondering where the rack would go. But that pic answered my question.

Bump for someone to get it.

Matt,

Make sure it fits the ones with a rear spoiler (sports package) as well and I might be getting one of your racks once I receive the 370Z I have on order.

I will do it if you try not to scratch the car!!!

That's a primary concern we'll be taking into account with the 370Z design. The spoiler got bigger and the hatch got shorter, but I doubt it will take much of a redesign.

Thanks Steve, sent you a PM!

:tup:

So when is one for the 370z going to be released? I will buy one asap. Been trying to figure out how to carry my Stumpjumper FSR on my 370z. The only option was a Saris Bones with some accessory attachments but it looks like it would break the rear glass and scratch the paint. Please hurry. Soooo ready to buy one.

The Saris Bones racks are great, but they definitely weren't built with the Z in mind, which is how our whole roof rack business got started.

That FSR looks a nice bike, I'm looking at grabbing a new MTB soon since my previous machine gave up the ghost. I expect the new system for the 370Z to launch in around three weeks. I'll drop another post on the form when the site goes up.

Trying to get this beauty on top of the other beauty:

The FSR was upgraded with some carbon fiber levered Elixir CR brakes and X.O. Shifters.

Plus 203mm rotors front and rear for more stopping power. Original was 185mm and 160mm. Only thing that worries me is because Avid uses DOT 5 brake fluid, if I do a sloppy job bleeding the lines, it will get all over the paint.

This is what I need to carry.

Nice bicycle! /\ I have a old shimano bicycle. I gotta clean it up.

Similar to this style but different color. Very fast bicycle.

hmm interesting to see progress.

Attachment 2325same here, i don't think it will fit inside.

Quick update on the new 370Z system -

Steve stopped by yesterday and I was able to grab measurement off his 370Z for the new rack system. Looks like our existing design will just require some minor dimensional tweaks to fit on the 370Z. Interestingly, the base dimensions of the hatch are almost exactly the same as the 350Z, the major differences are styling lines that require moving the tower contact points.

I gotta say the 370Z's styling has really grown on me, just the interior upgrade is enough to make me want to get rid of the 350. That's the first car I would ever consider getting in red (that didn't have a prancing horse on the hood). It really seems like this is what the 350Z should have been when it was launched back in '03.

I think the rack is going to turn out great. I could have used it today while I was shopping for lawn furniture!

With the adjustments being so minor I'm guessing it shouldn't be long before this thing is ready to go.

Met with Matt to test fit again... shouldn't be too long before you guys can get one. It's going to be pretty nice.

370Z Roof Racks are Ready
 

Huge thanks to Steve! I tested the prototype roof rack out on his 370Z on Saturday and it looks like we'll be able to offer this same new design for both the 350Z and 370Z.

We did a photo shoot for the website, which is now updated Boofsquire Roof Racks, I'll post a few up those photos up here. The 370 makes the 350 look positively archaic when they are sitting side by side. The new order system is up and ready to go, but it will be two weeks before we get the new units in from our manufacturer and begin to ship. The new roof racks will go out first come first serve.

Thanks again to Steve for putting up with my antics, he even took it in stride when I tripped while walking backwards with my camera, bounced off his car and fell flat on my butt (D'oh).

It was fun, man!

I can't wait to put it to use.

Doesn't look too bad just alone. That's a good thing as taking it on and off would get old.

Yeah, it doesn't look bad at all. It kind of adds character... lol.

But taking it on and off is really simple so I don't think it'd be bothersome at all. Once you have it sized up it should probably take 30 seconds to put it on or take it off.

Thanks!
 

Hey, the rack looks great. Just placed my order.

Thanks a lot for updating the product for the 370Z; I'm glad it also works with the sport package's spoiler.

I was going to pass on purchasing the 370Z due to no options for hauling a bike.

what else , beside the rack itself do you need to make this work with a road bike?

You need to purchase a Bike Mount made to work with the rack system from Boofsquire. Here is a link: Amazon.com: Yakima Viper Fork Mount Rooftop Bicycle Carrier: Sports & Outdoors

We just recommend Yakima Accessories, since they tend to be higher quality than the off brand bike and ski mounts. That being said, any accessories designed to work with a universal or Yakima rack will fit on the Boofsquire Roof Rack System for the 370Z, so going with an less expensive option is an... er... option.

Well I picked up my production piece from Matt the other day. Very nice and like I said earlier it doesn't look bad at all by itself. I just need to go buy a Yakima bike mount and I can start hauling my bike around.

hey i wanted to get a roof rack for my nismo 370z now would it not work if i have the spoiler and the trunks carbon fiber ??

would the trunk be able to handle that ? thanks

Boofsquire isn't making racks anymore. Your best bet is to find one used or build your own. Depending on what weight bikes your hauling it may be to much for the cf hatch.
