i had a yakima rack with thule trays on m s13,and i could cary 2 bmx bikes fine.

but im going to get thule bars and trays for my new car because they are alot nicer and have a better warranty.

NSR250 · 06-15-2009, 03:30 PM

I went on yakima's website and they do not show an application for the db1 integra. I even call Yakima and they told me no application. can you check the number on the back on your Q-clips?
Thanks in advance.

fabianL · 06-24-2009, 11:08 AM

The 94 Integra 4dr requires Q11 clips, while some people have said Q38. For an S14 (1995 coupe), is it Q11 or Q38? Seeing as there is no actual fit, does it actually matter?

Leo-kun · 06-24-2009, 11:38 AM

I've always thought it would be nice to have a bike rack on a 240.

s14fbs · 07-15-2009, 03:58 PM

i just ordered everything for my s14

s14fbs · 07-17-2009, 08:01 PM

i got my rack parts today and in the paperwork it actully has 240sx in the directions
89 93 but also will work with 95 and up

so yakima q38 clips are what you need to 100% confirm the paper work says it lol

Where did you order it from? Yakima direct?

Has anyone got the thule equivilant and if so could they post up everything thats needed for my s14 including part numbers if possible?

Roof racks look BADASS but only when they're actually being used for something and not because of some gay trend!

i order from some rack attack place
i got the tray from my buddy for 75 and the feet bars and clips cost me 299 shipped so it cost me 375 for the rack
and it came it factory boxes and the paperwork that came with the clips says
89-93 240sx with stretch kit
i got the q38 clips on my s14 as you can see and they are solid i actually clipped the back one under the trim in the quarter window to so the bars are further apart and i tested it today down 95 and 85mph with 2 bikes and its all fine

I spent a lot of time searching for a Fit Kit to mount a Thule rack on my S13 fastback last year and it was very difficult to find. The Fit Kit has been discontinued by Thule and many rack shops won't have it. Your luck lies with whether or not you can find someone who happens to have old stock lying around. Some web retailers will show the fit kit as available and when you try to buy it, they will cancel your order and update their website as showing the Fit Kit no longer available.

The Fit Kit you'll need from Thule is number 92. Whether or not this fit kit will fit the S14, I can not confirm. Any of you with S14s install Thule racks with Fit Kit 92?

I found an ebay seller (eBay My World - nds!) that seems to stock some old Fit Kits and the 92 is among one of them: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=360171852997 The seller also stocks Yakima Q Clips but I don't know if he has any 240SX kits.

I managed to find my Fit Kit from Windance out of Hood River, Oregon but I no longer see it on their website: Windance Boardshop Give them a call and see if they can help you, they're a friendly bunch.

There is also another shop called Rack Solid (http://www.racksolid.com) out in Santa Monica, California that I managed to get another Fit Kit from and you might have a chance here, but they might be slow to ship it (probably because they have to search for the kit): http://www.racksolid.com/index.php?m...roducts_id=433

If you get the Short Roof Adapter, you can also put locks on it. I bought a pack of 10 and have 6 cylinders on the rack, the rest of the cylinders can be used for accessory mounts (bike/board/kayak/surf) that will accept a lock cylinder. The locks seem flimsy at best, but I think it's better than nothing.

The older 400 rack will be difficult to find parts for such as the hoods that go on the side of the towers so that you can install a lock cylinder. Many shops should have it, but I think if you get the 400XT, it will make your life easier. There isn't a whole lot of difference between the 400/400XT in terms capacity, just design/shape of the towers that hold the horizontal bars.

Fuel consumption will increase with a rack on the car as well as noise. I only have the rack installed when I'm hauling a kayak.

NSDCA · 07-19-2009, 02:45 PM

is that where it says to mount it? you should have just bought my thule rack. my 2 cents.

ichisan · 07-20-2009, 12:58 AM

yes yakima offers a stretch kit similar to the thule that you have/had*. a stretch kit is pretty essential with coupes and hatchbacks. i have 3 sets of qclips for my cars and a stretch kit that is installed when i decided to roll my eg hatchback for a while

stretch kits are the most functional thing imho because it also doesn't point your bike trays to the sky.

the difference in clip design is just the type of roof you have and how the roof "sill" (i guess that's the right term) is shaped.

i had a 95 4 door integra with full rack and i just purchased a s14 silvia. so i'll update you on the clips that will "work". i will also be using a stretch kit on the s14 because on coupes there is little area to grab onto in order to get the rack less angled.

Yay for being cool with bike racks and killing gas mileage.

PepsiManKolt · 08-30-2009, 04:41 PM

^^I have read on my sites that a Yakima rack with Q-towers works best with:
Q11 - 240sx Hatch 89-93
http://www.rackattack.com/product-pa...structions.pdf

Q38 - 240sx Coupe 89-93
http://www.rackattack.com/product-pa...structions.pdf

I just got a Yakima rack for mine but the Q38 clips are on the way. I purchased it for $200 and tons of extras (4 sets of clips, ski/snowboard rack, 3 bike racks). I am currently selling all the extras and if I get my asking price the rack will have been free.

This picture is the rack just resting on the top:
