Great Idea
 

Thank you what a great idea. I see that my surf board will have a new way
around.:tiphat:

Nice work. Just out of curiosity how did you come up with the weight limit?

I've seen pictures of people towing personal watercraft with 350's and some of those weigh in at 1000 lbs not including the trailer weigh.

Also, if thats a cut off reflector lens you are using on the "hitch cap" all you would need to do is add a connectr inside there with a led bulb and you can still have a functioning light when the trailer is not connected.

Please post the installation instructions. Bumper removal, hole drilling?

Looks like a GREAT solution! PM sent.

hitch capacity!
 

The 350Z hitches that they sell that are similar to my design for the 370Z are listed at 1500 lbs. I know of several people that tried to tow more than 1000 lbs with similar hitches made for a 370Z and they bent there aluminum bumper. I am just being conservative with my number of 80 lbs tongue weight and 800 lbs towing capacity. I love these cars and I would hate to see anyone mess their Z up by towing too much weight. My trailer that I built is about 700 lbs loaded and I have hauled it more than 5000 miles with no problems. Thanks, Ken

saving now, need this for sure

Awesomeness. I like the tire trailer, true track car.

Wish it would work with the Nismo

What a great Idea Bump Bump
 

I see myself heading down the PCH this summer surf board and a Nismo
How could it be better ! Cheers
:icon18::icon18::icon18::icon18:

Great work. I may have to get one of these as I need a way to transport wheels to the track. I agree that I would like to see pics of how to install.

Love the trailer as well and would like to know more about that construction (maybe fodder for another post).

BTW....used to live in Wadsworth. Very familiar with Medina.

The car can pull a trailer easily, I usually keep it pretty light at about 500lbs. Other than the noise in the back, you barely notice any difference. Good work on reinforcing the bumper too, I know someone had noticed sagging issue with theirs. You might also want to reinforce the 4 bolts on the bracket too

Bolts?
 

Do you mean the four bolts that hold the hitch to the bumper? If so those four 1/2 bolts and lock nuts included with the hitch are hardened grade 8 bolts. When I pull my trailer I am glad that it is wider than the car so I can see that it is still there. Like you said I can't even tell it is there. Thanks ken

Genius! Love the track trailer for the tires and tools! Too bad this isn't for Nismo.

Can you tell us how you thought of this great idea for the Z world ?:iagree::iagree::iagree::iagree::iagree::iagree:

No, the ones that bolt the bumper onto the frame. It's hard to explain, but the stock bolts go through only the inner portion of the bumper. You want to extend it to use the inside and outside of the bumper so it doesn't rip and sag.

Well thought out. A stellar idea. The Z world needs this hitch !

Bump it up!

very nice, been thinking about doing this for a while, might have to get one of these soon. What kind of trailer is that you have in the picture btw?

Also, I usually leave the spare in the car when I track it, mostly so it doesnt make the weight distribution more off than it is, but with this addition of 11 pounds I figure could remove the tire and have effectively relocated some weight to a lower position. And if you REALLY think about it (which I have a habit of doing), the weight is further behind the rear axle than the spare, which due to the lever arm effect would actually tend to lift the front of the car a bit and redress the weight distribution further. Not that this would be at all noticeable lol. But you can list it in the product description, better weight balance! or even "Drastically enhances vehicle handling and dynamics through improved weight distribution. Put more power to the ground, order today!"

Eh, its the last 20 minutes at work...

Just give me a shout when you want a hitch! I have several made and ready for shipment! As for the trailer. It is custom built by be out of aluminum. I haul four 295/30/19 a6 ,tools,gas,tent and whatever else I need for a day at the track. when I tow it you can't even tell that it is there. Let me know Thanks, Ken

Will do, and nice lookin little trailer there, very professional.

You can leave a bike rack on there and it won't effect handling

Lol, looks like you might be braking hard enough to be on a track there, which would be funny :bowrofl:

Edit: I just noticed the driver obviously has a helmet on.

Is there a rack that would hold two bikes? and if so would it be able to attach to this hitch?

Yes and Yes, unless you are talking motorbikes.

Thanks Shotta! Yes and Yes!

subd for future purchase!

How would this fit with someone that has the Amuse rear bumper? I want it! lol
