You're welcome. I really can't take full credit. One of the member send me a pm about this thread to bring it to my attention.

Did you put them on the car? Where are the picture?

On, I turned it off last week to see if I could still heel toe like I could in my WRX. I could manage, but it wasnt nearly as smooth as the SRM. It will stay on FTW!

VinZ

I usually leave it off. I drive in alot of traffic to and from work and it freaks other drivers out hearing my hfc & catback exhaust reving while coming up to stops.

LunaZ

That's the other thing I like about it.
Hey, it's not me... it's the car!

Sounds like a great reason to leave it on.

its just such a great too on day to day driving, makes everything so much smoother. always on unless i feel like doing the heel and toe manually.

LaBron

I find that it depends on the driving circumstances i'm in! If i'm in high traffic or slow moving or lots of stops signs or lights then I prefer it on. If i'm on a straight away or wanting a faster take off and quicker up or down shift I prefer it off! That's just me! When I first got it I always had it on to get used to it, but now a month later, I prefer off. On is still cool though!!

I have driven Porsche race cars for past decade. I'm pretty good at heel toe downshifts. It's really an art form.

I don't drive the Z without synchro rev match. Even best heel toe driver can't match the efficiency of this cool feature. I love taking my track buddies out in the car with rev match.

Only people who won't use it are those who think they will forget how to heel toe or true heel toe artists,

Well as it says under my name there "hates VDC", although i crashed this car because it was off i still find my self reaching for that button every time i start the car, weird, and if i forget it at some times i can feel how sluggish the car moves and shurley after few yards i cant resist but to turn it off. Damn you nissan egineers why did you have to make such a powerful car? Why oh why....er what? The engine is still supressing power? how come i dont get this info before i type this in now i have go and change it all.


AAaagghh....ef it.


P.S. What the heck is SRM??...Oh its that little button right next to my shifting stiky thingy i never use what was it created for again???

My car is automitic so it doesnt have it, can someone please describe what the synchro rev does? how it feels etc? I've owned manual trans vehicles before I messed up my ankle I don't know if I was great at it but I was pretty smooth

With synchro rev match, when you step on the clutch and start to move the shifter into a lower gear the system senses which gear your about to go into and blips the throttle to match the revs of the engine to the speed your going in that gear for a nice smooth downshift every time. Instead of having to try and match it yourself.

Thechidz

so in other words you can basically shift without even having your foot on the gas pedal? I don't think I could ever get used to that

Are you trollin?

alcheng

No, it's you don't need to 'blip' the gas before you lift off the clutch when down-shifting.

Mine is usually on. The last week or so I've turned it off periodically as I'd like to think I can heel-toe still. Also, my exhaust gives some since burlbes on the decel when SRM is off, most likely because I'm letting the revs drop more than SRM does. It's audibly pleasant but I can't match SRM for consistency (who really can?). So, it's back on now. I will say that it's an absolute pleasure to heel-toe yourself and get the shift perfect.
