Reving Engine with shift knob

Mr.Ajer · 04-17-2015, 12:15 AM

Hello everyone, this is my first post. I looked all over Google and couldn't find what I was looking for. I have been driving my z for a long time now and am getting experienced with it and starting to learn it's habits and tricks. I just want some help from anyone here to give me an answer to my question.

The thing is that I've been starting to get the habit of while driving when I see that I'm gonna come to a stop for a light or turn, I slow down like normal by braking and press the clutch in to put it in neutral, then let go of the clutch. Then right after I'm in neutral I move the shift knob to the left and the engine revs high quickly for a second or two.

Now my question is would this be ok to do? Is it safe for the engine or clutch or transmission? Have any of you done this before or heard anyone do it?

Any answers or questions are appreciated.
