Hello ! That depends what you want to use the hitch for ! The hitch will mount upside down and the receiver could come out in back of the license plate . This would be ok if you wanted to use it for a bike rack. If you wanted to use it for a trailer the drop would be extreme. One option is buying the 2014 and up Nismo rear fog light to cover up the hitch opening when not in use. The only problem with that is I priced that fog light out at the dealer and it was like $200. Anyone that is willing to try to fit one of my hitches on a Nismo I am open to. Without damaging the hitch if you cannot make it work I will refund your purchase price when returned to me in good shape. Thanks, Ken

I would appreciate some more photos showing the hardware installed. Ideally what you are left with behind the foglight/cover, and a close up of your bike mount fitted?

Thanks!

Just bought a Z and will be ordering a hitch in the next couple of weeks. Would not have bought the Z without a good solution for carrying my mountain bikes.
Thanks for creating this.

Hello ! Surprisingly I have only sold 4 to date ! They all were happy with the hitches ! I thought there would be more demand for them ! Maybe there will be more demand in the future considering no one else makes one for our cars. I have had many Nismo owners that want one but no one wants to cut their bumper. Only Nismo owners need to cut your bumpers to fit the hitch. Many people are scared for the install but it is pretty easy to install ! Thanks Ken

im very interested in one of these to get my kart to the track. Im currently waiting for my FI cbe and was wondering if you know of any issues with after market exhaust? I will 100% buy one of these if this will work with the FI exhaust and once I get my trailer modded a bit to carry tires and fuel also. I was also hoping to get swift springs but i guess that would be a terrible idea with a trailer?

Do any of you guys know how the best way to figure tongue weight? I know my trailer and kart with tools and fuel weight about 450lbs max., so I should be pretty good on tongue weight right?

My hitches will work with any exhaust so I promise you will not have a problem ! Tongue weight should be 10 % of the total weight of the trailer and what you are hauling ! So if you load your trailer there should be 45 pounds on the front of the trailer if you were going to put it on a scale. I have these ready to go for shipment ! Thanks, Ken

I ended up welding my own for the nismo. It's two pieces with 4 bolts, so does not have the full U shape on a single piece. A little bit of spacer had to be added to get the height where I wanted it to land completely behind the license plate. No drilling or cutting of the crash bar was required.
