Why not just get a trunk mount bike rack? Much easier to take on and off.

I like how the g35's one was hidden but I wouldn't want to see a G towing anything.

haha the hitch is barely visible i have one for my bike rack...

to the haters.. same argument can be made for people that RICE their G's out with huge drops and big exhausts... its the same thing! we've made modifications to suit our lifestyles... **** off!

and the ones that you attach on your trunk arent as stable as an actual rack.... plus you have handle bars and pedals that can scratch your s*** vs a rack that the pedals and/or handle bars dont ever touch the trunk.

the trunk on the vert is double hinged contraption that I don't want to mess with it all. Easier just to slip on a rack, and drop the bike in.

I complete disagree.

I understand this is a public forum but this forum should be used to help one another. If I asked what everyone thought about a trailer, then yes, I am opening myself up to opinions. But when I ask has anyone installed a hitch or has one, I don’t need responses like “please don’t” or “epic fail”. How does that help me?

In before the lock...................


Now the first thing I would do is talk to a dealership and see what they recommend or if they do recommend this at all. MY guess is they will and have seen this done in a proper manor. One thing to keep in mind is just because someone on the internet has done it "for years" doesn't make it a safe option. Please check into this with Infiniti and make sure if you do it, you do it right per their recomendations. As for a bike rack that is different, but I would still do it right in case one day down the road you wanted to hook a trailer up.

This seems to be a controversial subject. OP has stated that he doesn't care your opinions on the subject. He did not post asking "What do you think about putting a tow hitch on the G?" If he had, your opinions would be welcome. He asked if anyone had done it and if the bumper would require modification and for help. So if you can help with that, please do. If your only contribution to the thread is to tell him the idea sucks, keep it to yourself. If you think it's the most horrible thing you can do to a G, then keep it to yourself and don't post here because that's not what he asked. And please don't post anything else in this thread in such a way as to cause me to give infractions for you posting like a jackass. If you have any doubt as to what that is, then you probably shouldn't post because you're probably going to post like a jackass.

Thanks.

OP:

Any reason you'd be driving through Connecticut on 84? A friend of mine said he saw a G37 Coupe towing a jetski earlier today. All I could think of was this thread. haha

csnpsu

lol no, but you should have flagged him down to see where he got trailer.

csnpsu

Thank you so much, i really appreciate this post.

I had a local hitch place put a hitch on my G37S Coupe, no bumper modification necessary and it's barely visible below the license plate.

I use my G to haul my Mountain Bike to the trails around town. If you are considering a trunk mount bike rack I'd recommend against it if you love your paint job, it will scratch where it contact the paint.

My G is not a Garage Queen that only gets taken out as a fashion accessory, I love to drive it and hauling my bike to the trails is just another opportunity. Go for it.

So did you ever get the hitch installed? I was actually thinking of doing the same. Gonna buy a Jet Ski and dont wanna buy an SUV so why not just add a hitch.

I pulled a jet ski with a Honda Prelude for years with no problem. People would look at me really funny when I passed their slow a$$es. Pretty sure the G can handle a ski.
