I still stand behind the fact a machine will never be able to replicate a human response perfectly. Hence why exotic cars and even our own nissan skyline, the most important parts are all assembled by hand.
It is a option that one brand started, majority of the community liked it because heel toe was something that they didnt want to spend years perfecting and practicing. Now other makers are following suit. And this is only my .02 on the SRM on the 6spd. No comment on the 7spd. It is an option to help you, but doesnt mean it is better than doing it yourself. I am not bashing the people that use it be any means nor looking down upon them, just stating my dislike for the way the systems operates in my car. I have turned it on maybe a total of 3 times in the 20k miles I have driven. Each time was to give it another shot, and each time I turned it back off due to the feeling I got from it when driving it. Some might not notice it, but I do. I am a manual transmission purist. Been solely driving a manual for going on 16 yrs. I heel toe in any car I get in, just second nature now. Just the way my feet move, I dont even notice it. I have friends ride with me and as we are coming to a stop I am downshifting and after a few mintues they always ask what I am doing with the car to make it downshift like that. Even friends that have modified cars comment about how I am doing that. It is something that is kinda hard to get the grasp of, but once you do it becomes second nature. I will state that when someone is trying it out or practicing it, it can be entertaining to watch. Last edited by Japanjay; 02-25-2013 at 02:54 PM. |

IMO, the 370z transmission does not like being thrown into 1st at anything higher than 10 miles an hour.
I personally won't shift into first at anything faster than 5 or so- I treat it just as a very short gear to get the car moving and keep clutch wear down as opposed to starting in 2nd and possibly overfeathering the clutch. |

SRM is just a feature. If it was meant to prevent damage and what not and if that was its sole purpose then why have the option to turn off or on. The 7at downshifts no different when referencing the rpms at which you drop down into. And they have no option on that, all computer controled. When you get good at it, it is just second nature, you dont even think, just react. I am still trying to get the left foot braking down, that is not something I try on the streets. Been known to jab and not press. When you get good at doing it yourself, you will find the flaws. Even humans mess up sometimes though. Last edited by Japanjay; 02-25-2013 at 03:08 PM. |

IMO the 2 statements above contradict each other. u can't say u want the ultimate man/machine interaction, then use the GTR as an example. i kinda feel like your argument went full circle in those 2 statements I believe a machine can do a simple task, such as torquing a bolt to a certain spec, as precisely (if not more) than a man.sucks to say, but its true. and when an engine builder assembles something, does he not count on electronics (such as digital torque wrenches) to complete his task?

dont know if thats exactly the issue or not, but either way ive had this problem in the past every so often even before i switched to redline. like i said its not something that is bothering me too much or going to ruin the tranny or anything i was just curious about this since its been more common lately. i was wondering if anyone else was having the same problem with higher milage, but some people want to pretty much say i dont know how to drive so whatever. im stationed in ms right now so it doesnt get too cold maybe like 35 at the lowest. so im not sure

I have no idea how to drive a stick either. i just move the lil knob around in the middle till something happens or it crunches (idk is that bad). that combined with blindly stabbing at the 3 little mystery peddles has seemed to work out so far
