Nissan 370Z Forum  

Would anyone be interested in a small trailer hitch for tires?

Just want to see who is willing to maybe trim the rear bumper to fit tires (might be able to use the rear fog light hole for it)

Yes! I think we could fab a hitch that comes out below the fascia though.

like I said in an earlier post, my friend had a 350 hitch modified to fit the 370 and it comes out the foglight hole.

It looks like it will work, but I am curious to see which one they use as a starting point

I'd be interested in a hitch for autox trailers!

He used the 06 hitch. I'm not quite sure which modifications were needed, but here is the finished product.

Can you please ask him about what mods he did when you get a chance, but many of us have talked about this for the past year on this forum and this is the first I have seen do it...

Where did he get the hitch from? ANY details will be very helpful!

Let me second that request. I've been trying to find someone locally with the time/skill to fabricate something like this with no luck.

Any info would be greatly appreciated...

I would probably go with the 350z setup and modify it, but they have two different types. Could you find out if he used the 04-05 setup or the 06 setup please
