i got to know my old g35 so well that i could upshift and downshift without the clutch and never grind... i was even able to downshift to first at about 3 mph without the clutch too... id do it messing around all the time. I havent tried it on the 370 but I'm pretty sure any manual tranny has times where the syncros are open you just need to feel it out and know where it is...

def pointless and not all that smart to do, but if you do it right its no different than pressing the clutch in to allow the tranny to shift.
