Any of you skyline owners (2 or 4 door) own a mountain bike and manage to get it in the car?

backseat or boot.

removing front wheel only.

I'm wondering if it fits in the back of a 2 door R32 or R33.

4 door R32 or R33.

or boot of any of the above cars.

pic would be good too if you happen to have time.

may go back to a skyline.

don't want a towbar.

My moutain bike fits easily in the back of my r33 4 door with front wheel quick released off. I really dont like sitting a dirty bike in the back though so since i have a removable towbar i have the option of my bike rack.

My mate fits his in the back of his r32 4 door pretty simple as well. I havnt tryed to put one in a 2 door but that just sounds like something is going to end up scratching paint and ripping seats...

As POLICE said there is no way one would fit in the boot without removing both wheels... And if your going to do that you might as well just get a towbar and just unbolt it when its not in use.

couldnt fit my brothers bike into my 2dr r32, told him to ride back home haha

I remember my friend bragging about getting his bike into his r32 gtr so i guess its possible? Probably need to pull it all apart though lol

I think i mentioned this before

But no way it's possible without taking both wheels off, and also the seat. Get a bike with quick release wheels.

Also use allen keys to remove the handlebars so you can sort of fold them on top of the frame.

Cover the passenger seat with a tablecloth, fold the passenger seat all the way down. Put the frame in the passenger seat so the gears are hanging towards the back and the forks are on the front edge of the seat. you have to position it so that you can actually change gears while driving lol thats a tricky one.

Position the wheel spokes through the pedals so they don't move around.

Pain in the arse I know but the whole process shouldnt take more than 10 mins

Don't forget to carry the right allen keys

Kind of frustrating that the back seats don't fold down to extend the boot in skylines.

thanks all.

but this "need" is daily.

as in every morning the bike would come out, I'd ride it, then back in at night.

5 days a week.

I was willing to take the front wheel off but that's it.

It looks like it's not worth the effort.

If I get a Skyline, it will have to have a towbar and bike rack like the Liberty has now.

The most practical solution is tow bar/roof racks.

Just need to be comfortable with changing the car's exterior look. If you opt for it, get a fabricator to do a decent job of cutting up the rear bumper, so it looks like it came that way.

I reckon a removable towbar on a 2door skyline will look kinda cool, "he's an enthusiast AND a sportsman"

The chicks will think you're 007.

My mate's folding mountain bike fits in my boot no probs.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
