2014 370z automatic transmission - manual mode

It's not a great video but my friend shot this on the last run. Before anyone complains it's in a closed business park on a Saturday with the gate locked

It slows downshifts though

I don't think it slowed mine at all but maybe it's because we didn't mess with below 4k.

According to Nissans site it only activates when the vehicle is in motion beyond a certain speed.

I use my manual mode exclusively in mine. I don't like the way the exhaust sounds in auto, or even in manual auto so I hit the paddle and then lift my foot off the gas. This makes the shift perfectly smooth both in transition and sound. Just like a real manual.
Its kinda hard to explain..

Paddles, manual modes, only 2 pedals... Whatever happened to a good old fashioned clutch pedal and a stick in the console?

Hmmmmm... I think it's wrong to be honest. I can't, and I don't think anyone can do a brake stand without pulling the brake fuse because of this safety feature.

I first noticed the behavior when trying to get into heavy traffic. I did a few tests earlier tonight and it appears that the brake override does not work at a standstill but you only have to be rolling for it to kick in. When standing still, it feels like the TC stalls (I even got a little wheel spin when releasing the brake); when moving, it feels like the throttle is being limited. But I may be misinterpreting what I'm feeling.

This makes more sense. I see no reason why the brake override would kick in while the vehicle is stopped, obviously, because its intent is to help stop a moving car. You're brake torquing, which is equivalent to us MT owners launching the car at a higher rpm. You can do this on any auto with the same outcome.

My car has a Stillen supercharger,UpRev tune on the motor/ trans and Aquamist meth injection kit on it so Nissan doesn't have number that represent my car.
