#5 of 17 Re: Any bike racks that can be used on G35 Coupe? [ana1] by sstricker Jan 11, 2008 (8:46 pm)
Replying to: ana1 (Aug 27, 2006 4:39 pm) I thought I would post a solution since I did actually put a Yakima roof rack on my 2008 G35x. I simply bought the Yakima specs for a 2005 G35 and got the Q Towers, 48" crossbars, and 2 sets of Q35 Clips (this is the key item as they fit the G35 door/roof line perfectly). Follow the directions but you may actually need to bring the spacing between the bars and inch or so in due to the newer profile. If you run you fingers along the underside of the roof/door frame, you will actually feel purposefully build notches in the frame for the Q35 clips!   After I installed it I drove from Denver to Vail in 30-50 MPH winds with skis and a snowboard on top with zero problems. The beauty if the system is that all you have to do when you don't need it is to unhinge the Q Towers and remove the rack. That way you can avoid all the harsh ridicule on web blogs for putting a rack on "such a beautiful car"...

#7 of 17 Thule rack/feet for G35 sedan? by waltaz Feb 24, 2008 (8:14 am)
Anybody using a Thule roof rack on a G35 sedan?   I've always used Thule racks - on Saabs, Honda Accords and my Honda Pilot. Now that we have a G35 sedan, I need to see if I can "rack" that vehicle.   Let me know if you're doing so.   Walt Replies to this message: scottm123 (Apr 03, 2008 2:11 pm) waltaz (Apr 03, 2008 2:15 pm) scottm123 (Apr 03, 2008 3:42 pm) Jifffer (Dec 07, 2008 4:56 pm)

Replying to: waltaz (Feb 24, 2008 6:02 pm) There's a guy on G35Driver that took a chance and bought the Thule roof rack for the 2006 G35. He installed it and it fits perfectly. Replies to this message: waltaz (Apr 03, 2008 2:15 pm) scottm123 (Apr 03, 2008 3:42 pm) Jifffer (Dec 07, 2008 4:56 pm)

Replying to: scottm123 (Apr 03, 2008 2:11 pm) I did the next best thing and leased an EX35 also and mounted my rack to that. I couldn't see any way to make it work on the 07/08's. Replies to this message: scottm123 (Apr 03, 2008 3:42 pm)

Replying to: waltaz (Apr 03, 2008 2:15 pm) I'll find the post and drop some pics of his car here, next chance I get. I had to do a doubletake myself when I saw it. It looks perfect and he said that it went on with no trouble at all.

#13 of 17 Roof racks for 2008 G35xs sedan by zareth Aug 02, 2008 (7:54 pm)
Replying to: sstricker (Jan 11, 2008 8:46 pm) Any followup on how the Yakima racks are holding up a g35 sedan? I unknowingly leased the car and was told by the dealer that racking the car was no problem. Anyone had any kind of roof rack for a while that has performed well?

Replying to: scottm123 (Apr 03, 2008 2:11 pm) Just tried my Thule roof rack (purchased for an Altima 2.5S 2005) and it seems to fit pretty snugly on my Infiniti G35x 2008. As previously mentioned, Thule recommends the same rack for the Altima (05) and the G35 (06). I'm quite sure that Nissan/Infiniti are using pretty much the same sized frame for both the Altima, Maxima and the G35-G37.   A small gap seems to appear between the rubber on the door which connects with the roof but it does not appear overly testing. I would probably not keep the roof rack all on the time - but for a few weekend trips during any season - I'm quite sure this wouldn't be a problem. Hope this helps.
