Hey, perhaps you could come to Maine for the Trek Across Maine? 3 days, 60 miles each. Ride in a team or by yourself with your family.

Our team raised over $4500.00 for the Maine Lung Association.

You're an idiot and shouldn't be allowed to breed. Oh, and from your profile, you mentioned "bangin stripers". Are you talking about guys like this?:

 

I hereby nominate post #17 above as the most hilarious one I have seen on this board so far! (though I cannot condone the name calling even though it might be appropriate) Does anyone care to second the motion?

 

LOL... glad you thought it was funny. I normally refrain from any type of name calling, but someone posting an ignorant message calling one of our own (G owner) a "tool" because he's asking for help doing something gets what's coming to them, especially when it's someone's second post ever.

 

NICE!! We ride Specialized also! My rig is an 05' Stumpjumper Elite FSR with PUSH Ind. shocks. My son rides a 96' Ground Control. My daughter, can carve the trails really well with an 06' Rockhopper, I might have to buy her a better full sus mtb. The wife will ride with us only if we don't plan on hitting the trails hard, she has a '02 HT Stumpjumper.

 

Was this squabble and issue ever rectified. I'm getting into mtn biking and need to get something on the back of the G to get me to the trails.

Makes me wish I never sold my WRX wagon sometimes, for two reason, the utility factor is nil with the G and the G owners are very judgemental.

 

Actually it does fit, or , can be made to fit. I bolted it on the bumper after a little modding. It was not difficult. Use the service manual to remove everything. To keep from having to cut the bumber cover, bolt it on the front side of the bumper. That way, when not in use you can hardly see it.

Yea, even my STi had more utility than this car. I had a hitch on it also. Mostly for tires on a trailer for AutoX but also for the bike rack. See above for the G. Another option that is totally hidden can be found in the 350z forum. The receiver part bolts on the front side of the bumper facing down toward the road. A 90 degree adapter slides up into the reciever. For a bike it is not as practical as my modded G35 Curt Hitch.

 

Do you have photos you could post or PM me?

Thanks a bunch!

 

hey, can someone also pm me or just post pics or whatever if you figured something out? I ride a cannondale six13 and I need my car to bring my bike to the hills around az!

 

I will post a photo this weekend but it's almost too simple for that and there are G35 threads you can use to guide you. Just order the Curt Hitch for the 08 G35 Sedan. Cut off the arm that bolts to the toe hook, drill holes in the bumper beam, buy some hardware and bolt it on. I am not responsible for anything after that.

epic fail

Spare your G, rent a car

 

Hope to have this in a day or two!

 

When I was looking at a replacement for my vette I had 2 reqts: 4 seats and space for my bike. Before buying my G37S I did a run through with my bike (Cervelo Dual). I have to remove one of the pedals and loosen the headset to point the bars down (it's a tri bike with aerobars), but it fits into the trunk with the backseat down. Obviously, that also includes removing the front wheel. All told it takes about 4 mins (I timed it).

The limiting factor is actually the space between the trunk and the interior - if it was about 1" higher I wouldn't have to remove one of the pedals.

This allows me to trasnport my bike to races without having to take my wife's SUV. Personally I'll never put a bike rack on this car (nor did I put one on the vette).

 

Spare it .....from what?

Here are some photos for those that asked. I don't see what the fuss is all about but to each his own. I would never add something garish to the top or sides or front of my car. I'm not a bumber sticker person. Plate frame yes, but I draw the line there. This tiny receiver hitch adds a little utility without taking anything away from the car.
