    Is anyone on here using a Yakima roof rack?

    Wondering which one will fit a 300zx, I've read a few posts on other forums which suggest its possible to fit one using Q11 clips.

    Just unsure on the actual roof rack required.

    Q11 clips

    Thanks,

    Where did you hear that? Only roof racks I've seen on a zed are the OEM ski racks.

    Someone posted something about 300zx roof racks, I thought he even bought them from a Japanese auction site. I could be completely wrong, if I can find it I will post a link.

    Can anyone read Japanese and is able to say if that's for a 2+2 or 2+0?
    Also they appear to be for the ski racks, would it be suitable for a surfboard?

    Unsure but the picture on the instructions depicts a 2+0.

    I read there's a different mount for surfboards but if your just putting the board flat across the two rails it should work by the looks of it.

    I'm going ahead now with the Kajima roof rack, we will see how it goes as I'm also trying to transport a surfboard:/

    The auction doesn't state which chassis the racks are for unfortunately. There are specific mounts for skis (I have them), you could lash anything around the racks themselves though really. They have a sticker saying there's a 30 kg weight limit though.

    Looks like suction cups but I am sure there is a strap that connects under the roof inside the car.

    It is better than the towel and octopus straps that I expect you have already tried.

    Thanks. I remembered you had them. If you ever want to sell let me know. Sound like I should just be able to occy strap the board to the racks.

    Good luck. If it works take some pics and put them up here. I'd be keen to see

    Mine won't be going up for sale, and if they were is be asking more than the ones listed in Japan at the moment.

    BigCol That's what she said...

    Haven't seen the roof rack type you're talking about, but ROLA also made some for the zed that may be easier to track down:
