RPM Blip on Upshift?

Did they actually blip or did they just continue rising after you pressed the clutch? The flywheel in these cars is rather heavy so it's not uncommon for the revs to rise a bit between shifts because of the flywheel's momentum.

Mine does move a tad up when i put the clutch in, i figured it was flywheel momentum.

For me it's all to do with the delay once I lift off the accelerator. My clutch foot is too fast for the car

Remember you only need maybe 35% pedal depression to shift. I find myself being old school and flooring it from time to time.

same for 350Z
this is most likely it

It is the flywheel momentum...if you go WOT and then shift at say 5k, the flywheel momentum will carry the RPMs up another 500 or so, but if you take it to redline and the engine is winding out, you don't really get this effect.
