Who said the Z wasn't practical?
 

Just a FYI for all bikers out there (at least road bikers), if you haven't already found out - bikes DO fit in our car. I was super excited to find this out over the Holidays when I brought my bike home to ride with some buddies. The frame is a 56cm, once both wheels were off it went in quite easily and had room to bring other stuff. FYI - The wheels go on top of the frame, I probably should have taken another picture with them in.

I had searched to see if this was possible before and never found an answer so I gave it a try.

Be careful! The interior of the trunk scratches really easily! Put more towels on the bike.

Nice interior color!

So wat you do with the wheels?

+1. Exactly what I was going to say.

Very nice, I wish the Z33 had the same rear strutbar setup and I could do the same :(

Dude, that sprocket and chain is so about to ruin your Z's interior. Nice to see that it fits, but...:eek:

nicely done

I don't care about you fitting a bike in the trunk OP, post this thread next time when you know how to fit a 2nd chic in a Z, ok???

:shakes head:


jkjk,

LOL

:icon18: :icon18:

I think I could fit 5 chics in a 370Z. Easily enough room.

:worthless:

you're not talking about chicken, right?? :icon18:

You do the math.

:wtf2:

:iagree:
That's no bike without wheels !

The wheels go on top of the frame, I probably should have taken another picture with them in.

I packed some other stuff around the bike after so it wouldn't move around. The interior remains flawless and unscratched.

You an all rest easy now :)

Whew! :)

Wish I could put my mountain bike inside, but after rides...the bike gets too dirty :-(

I bought a trunk mount and mounted it successfully but I want a better way to secure the bottom straps rather than hook to under side of trunk lid (maybe hook underneath the car instead).

Not to thread jack, but wanted to share pictures...my other option is the sea sucker mount if this doesn't work out.

I'm all for sharing the love, let this be the Z + Bike thread. Keep dem pictures coming!

:)

Nice, just for extra security, I would add a short strip of 3M for that whole area where the foam hits the trunk under the spoiler. Should cost you almost nothing to do it.

Yea, you're referring to 3m clear bra material right? I'm thinking about it...I haven't taken the bikes with my z yet...I did take it for a spin including the fwy, but not on a real ride.

If I can mount the bottom straps better and do use this regularly, I will definitely consider some protection for the trunk area.

Pics of bike in the trunk or it never happened!

Yeah clear bra or anything clear so the clear coat/paint doesn't dull out.

Takes less than 5 minutes to remove front tire and store bike in hatch. 2 towels used to catch mud/dirt and to minimize scratches.
