Expert Answers about Nissan 350Z


  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Carrying a Bike Rack on a Trailer
  • The Ultra-Fab bumper mount hitch # UF35-946402 is designed specifically for 4 inch x 4 inch square steel bumpers that are continuous welded. A slightly larger bumper will not be compatible. If by trimming the trim piece the bumper is still structurally sound and is 4 x 4 inches, it would fit. The best thing to do, if you are concerned with providing the safest and best ride for your bikes is to use a frame mounted trailer hitch, see link. The most popular option is # 13703. I have included...

  • Is There Fascia Trimming Required to Install a Curt Hitch on a 2005 Nissan 350Z
  • Yes, there will be some rear fascia trimming required to install the correct hitch for your 2005 Nissan 350Z, Curt Hitch part # 11483. Check out the picture I attached to see what the trimming will look like. I also attached installation instructions for this product for you to check out also. The Curt Hitch # 11493 that you referenced is designed for the 2006 Nissan 350Z and would not work for your 2005 model. For the record it requires fascia trimming as well.

  • Will the Yakima HoldUp 2-Bike Rack # Y02433 Fit a 2009 Acura MDX with 2 Inch Trailer Hitch
  • In order to determine if the Yakima Holdup 2, # Y02443, will fit your 2009 Acura MDX you will need to take an important measurement. On the vehicle, measure from the center of the hitch pin hole out to the distance required to clear the rear of the vehicle to get the amount of clearance you will need. On the HoldUp, it measures 12 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest bike tray when in the down position. When in the folded up position, it measures 7 inches to the...

  • Fit of Curt Class I Receiver on 2003 Nissan 350Z
  • I spoke with one of the Tech Support folks at Curt Manufacturing to see if they could shed any light on why their 11483 Class I receiver hitch fits the 2004 model 350Z, but not the 2003 model. The simple answer is that this is a vehicle that does not see too much demand for a hitch installation. Curt has not had access to a 2003 model to do testing on. The hitch may indeed fit, but no testing has been done to confirm nor disprove it. Curt will not claim that a particular receiver hitch...

  • Compatability of the Curt # 11483 Hitch with a 2005 Nissan 350Z
  • The Curt Class I Trailer Hitch, item # 11483, is designed to fit the 2004-2006 Infinity G35 and Nissan 350Z, except the 2005 anniversary edition. As long as your vehicle has the factory installed exhaust and rear fascia the hitch will fit. Installation of this hitch does require cutting a 2-1/4 inch by 2-1/4 inch square in the center of the lower part of the rear fascia. The cut area will not be visible from the rear of the vehicle under normal conditions. Some items you may need to...

  • Edge CTS2 Performance Monitor for 2003 Nissan 350Z
  • The Edge Insight CTS2 monitor that fits your 2003 Nissan 350Z is their part # EP84130. The other monitor option is the CS2, part # EP84030, which does not include the touch screen function. Both of these units are monitors, not tuners, that fit the 3.5L V6 engine. They can read and display information from the car's computer but they do not alter any performance settings. No actual performance tuners are offered for your Nissan, just monitors like these that tell you what is happening inside...

  • How to Carry Skis with 2005 Nissan 350Z
  • The only available way we have for carrying ski racks with a 2005 Nissan 350Z is to use a hitch bike rack with the Thule Tram part # TH9033 since there are no roof racks available for your vehicle. For a hitch you would need the part # C11483. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's...

  • Recommended Hopkins Backup Camera with 3-1/2 Inch Display
  • For a backup camera system very similar to the Hopkins # HM60195VA that you referenced, I recommend taking a look at the Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera # HM50002. Unlike the system you mentioned, this does include a 3-1/2 inch color monitor that will provide a large, static-free image with clear definition. The screen will also display color-coded fields to indicate the distance to objects and can mount right to your windshield, dashboard, or center console with the included foam tape....

  • Will The Curt Trailer Hitch, # 11493, Fit A 2006 Nissan 350Z Coupe Or Convertible
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch, # 11493, will only fit the 2006 Nissan Coupe. I called the supplier (Curt) and they said it will not fit the convertible. The hitch attaches to the vehicles aluminum bumper beam and the convertible is not designed to handle any extra load put on the bumper beam. The hitch comes with a ball mount and pin and clip. You will need a hitch ball, and that size will depend on what size coupler is on the trailer. If the coupler is 1-7/8 inches, you will need the Curt...

  • Can a 2004 Nissan 350Z Tow a 10 Foot Trailer Full of Furniture with Curt Trailer Hitch # 11483
  • The first thing you are going to want to do is consult the vehicle owners manual to determine if you can tow with your 2004 Nissan 350Z. On some vehicles, when there is a trailer hitch that will fit, it may only be used for an accessory like a bike rack. The owners manual will be able to tell you if you can tow or not and what the capacities of the vehicle are if you can tow. The Curt trailer hitch, # 11483, will only fit the coupe models, not the Roadster convertible models. It has a...

  • Options to Carry Bikes on a 2004 Nissan 350Z
  • The only option we have for you to haul a bike with your 2004 Nissan 350Z is to use a trailer hitch receiver like the Curt Class I Receiver Hitch part # C11483 and a hitch mounted bike rack like the Thule Camber 2-Bike Rack part # TH9058. This combo will only work with the hardtop models, if you have a convertible model then we do not have an option for you at this time. I will say that a hitch mounted bike carrier is the most secure way to haul a bike rack because you reduce the risk...

  • Trailer Hitch and Kayak Trailer Recommendation for 2006 Nissan 350Z
  • We have one solution that would work well but it's a bit pricey so I will warn you on that. The only way you'll be able to transport two kayaks with your 2006 Nissan 350Z is going to be with a hitch like the Curt part # C11493 and a kayak trailer like the Malone MicroSport Trailer part # MPG461G2. For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # C59236 and then for a ball mount part # C45521 and a hitch ball # A-82.
