Receiver hitch for 2008 G37S Coupe
Actually, I am trying to carry a bicycle and want to use one of those racks that fit into a receiver hitch. So far, with a lot of search, I have not been able to find a receiver hitch that fits. Anyone got any ideas?

you basically want 1 of these 3 hitches... Trailer Hitch for 2008 Infiniti G35 | etrailer.com and you have to cut the arm off to have it mounted on your G.
i personally went the cheapy route and got the draw tite hitch.. with a swagman xc rack. good luck!

Or you can get the Yakima Q towers and fit kit and a roof bike carrier:

Josh,
Thanks for this link. Worked great for me. A couple of notes:
I had to go to Lowes to get the grade 8 bolts also cause Depot didn't have them. I think grade 5 would be more than enough though.
I didn't make a template - just drilled one hole and attached it and then drilled the others through the aluminum and steel at the same time.
I'm not sure how much additional lateral stability the arm gives and was worried about taking it off but it seems to be fine just attached to the aluminum cross member.

I installed the draw tight hitch with tow extension removed as seen in Coupe install photos at this site. I lowered the bolts slightly and avoided cutting into the bumper. Install took one hour plus after making a template to insure the holes were accurate. The bike rack rides ok, but it is not as secure as the hitch on the sedan.
