Hello everyone,

I had my 2014 370 Nismo for a few months and there was something up with the synchro rev match system that's been bugging me. I love it for downshifts but it's questionable with upshifts. Does anyone notice that certain upshifts come with an additional rev in the throttle? Sometimes if I'm fast shifting 4th into 5th it'll rev extra, kind of like the system thinks it's going to be downshifting into 3rd. Sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't.

It just seems like sometimes even when I'm consciously making a neat shift into 5th, 3rd will be activated and it'll rev up. Does this happen to anyone else? I don't notice it on the 2-3 shift even if I "try" to trigger the gate for 1st. So is 3rd gear just overly sensitive in this car with synchro rev on? Or could it just be driver error even though I "think" I'm shifting properly. Or could there be a problem with the car? There is no malfunction light for the synchro rev match system. I'm no amateur to manual driving - oh yea, it's fine with SRM off and I've kind of been enjoying heel and toeing myself.
