R33 Gtst Roof Rakes Or Tow Bar To Transport A Bike

[ads47]

Hi,

Does anyone know if I can get roof rakes for my R33 Gtst series 1 skyline.

I need to find some way to transport my mountain bike for when I want to cycling.

Another option might be a tow bar, but as the skyline never left the factory with a tow bar, is this even possible. I have had a look at the underside of the rear end, and am not sure how a tow bar would even be fitted, plus there is the 3 inch exhaust pipe that gets in the way.

So roof rakes might be the only option.

Does anyone know if it is possible to get roof rakes for the R33, and what cost is involved, location would be preferrable to South Australia, but will consider options.

Thanks.

Roof racks would be the way to go. And you can buy cheap kits off gumtree or eBay. Some racks allow you to place the whole bike on top. Some others require you to take the front wheel off and attach at the forks.

Thanks for the reply, problem with aftermarket roof racks is that there is a good chance that it wont fit the r33 roof.

I have rung around a number of roof rack businesses, and they all say the same thing, that they cant help me cause they cant find roof racks to fit this car.

The problem is the frameless windows on the driver and passenger doors.

I did find out that back in the day, Nissan did bring out a factory roof rack system for the R33's (part# G38OVAD00), but that product is next to impossible to find. I will check out yahoo auctions, but it doesn't look good.

Roof racks are great, until you forget the bike is up there and drive under a branch.

You can buy strap on bike carriers too, no need for a towbar unless you want to carry 3 or 4 bikes.

Problem with a boot lid strap on is that my spoiler is in the way, and i dont really want to take the spoiler off.

An old work mate had an R34 GT-t with the strap on bike rake on the back, standard wing in place. Perhaps you can get something similar?

No idea on the brand.
