Synchro-Rev Reaction

[bsktsk8ter9]

Cool! One more way to feel less-engaged with the car. Maybe soon they'll eliminate the clutch..and then make it where the car shifts for you! Oh wait..

[mreis221]

is that a trip?

[jhaze918]

your buddy was getting too friendly with those gears

[MrJansj000]

Don't hurt it :(

[dyone3]

2nd gear all the way!

[EADPE]

You are in ass mode...right

[pixelsmack]

It is a pretty neat trick they've done here. What I like most about it is now, hopefully, these "boy-racers" won't get me killed at the track when they miss a shift and lock the motor and spin in front of me. Always a joy navigating around that. :\

[camcuber]

lmao putting it in first going like 40. that would be interesting

[LevelHeadOpinion]

I guess that is a neat thing for first time sports car people, but you could also have a gearhead friend, or driving instructor show you how. Might as well learn how to heel and toe as well.

[mountaindrewbc]

the synchro-rev puts the rpm where it needs to be to shift to the next gear.

it's a great feature. ^^

[streetsweeprz]

wow. i live under a rock ,ive never seen that rev match in a manual . ive been blipping the throttle on machines ( bikes quads cars trucks hang gliders space shuttles andshopping carts ) for years , and i think it would be a hard habit to break ,but thats pretty neat . i never cared for the rev match in auto's ,but this prob improves the driving experience for alot of people . very cool

[Bischlarbo69]

I think this dude's trippin...

[brbn93]

This feature is neat since... Wait, never mind.

[kmk408ci]

Every car should automatically be in sport mode when you turn it on

[iceman67340]

upshift ?? Are you sure ?

[Jongiblets]

@iceman67340 Yes, it will work on up shifts. You just have to be shifting really slow to notice it.

[epicReFLeX]

he tried to put it in first gear

lmao

[Qweklain]

Dude, that was a trip!

[jmrub06]

I want one...

[wolf1010]

Indeed cool, Nissan is really on top of there game recently. But does anyone else feel this takes away from the driving experience. I don't drive a manual to say I do. I drive it because I like to have the most control/feel of the car as possible. If I could buy a car with 4 pedals and 2 gearboxs (if that made sense or was possible to do of course) I would.

[RalliWes18]

@wolf1010 yeah honestly its cool and all, but it would definitely take away from the fun driving experience of having to do it all.. just like the flappy pedals on the GTR, tho it does shift faster, but now its not as fun if everything is done for you.. =/

[headshooter44]

@RalliWes18 your argument would make sense if you couldnt turn it of, but with a simple push of a button, you have the fun all for yourselve :) unless you cant revmatch on downshifting this is a really cool feture to show of at an traffic light^^

[RalliWes18]

@headshooter44 yeah its a cool feature to have when you are not having a spirited drive or just traffic

[BlueAvenue22]

@RalliWes18 this isnt true it rev matches better than 98% of drivers can heel and toe. its FOR spirited driving

[RalliWes18]

@BlueAvenue22 true, but i rather just do it for myself, its funner to me =]

[shamim0071]

Syncro Rev match is designed mostly for track purpose or lazy drivers if you want the full feel of your car and the pure excitement of heel and town and rev matching yourself then turn it off. In my 350z I personally like rev matching because gives me a sense that it's a manual gearbox and I can do it myself

[ROCKSOLID19]

I got one with the SynchroRev mode and on a mountain road the car can literally rape lightning. I used to heal and toe and double declutch before on previous vehicle and the car can make much quicker decisions than I can.

[skylineracr]

I think it was a trip.

[mytalkingmouth]

Our 40th anniversary sits in our garage...fun

[insonita55]

I have this car with the sincro-rev...there is one big problem...when I am facing a yellow light and I am traveling fairly quick and I need to do an emergency stop...my first reaction is to brake and hold the clutch down to put it on neutral and finaly stop...on that second that I do that the engine goes to red line if I am going over 50mph. is very annoying and I usually turn it off just of pure rage...Is a great track feature but not on daily driving. I hate traffic light cameras....

[colestevens]

that's pretty cool, but it's still so much fun to heel-toe into a corner!

[er1k93]

more like tommy's first experience with a straight shift.

[yuckfutish]

ok, so gas is on the right...what's that third pedal on the left for?

[fourtyseven05]

"it wont even let me go into first..." ...that's because you're going 40 mph...

[J90JAM]

Poor car...

[alexlam24]

fat dude that spends his whole life on forza tries to drive a Z=epic fail

[laxboy4788ice2]

lmao hahaha thats the gas...oh right....oh geeze

[coffeemonstar]

i feel that gear box is a bit notchy... nice interior tho.

[camcuber]

what is he doing sitting there in second gear while the motor is screaming, "shift me! shift me!"

[RsBl0gger91]

@camcuber that's the point of synchro...it doesn't scream shift me.

[camcuber]

@RsBl0gger91 I don't think so.. I thought that it just helped you shift smoother. You still shouldn't rev up to redline with or without synchro rev.

[RsBl0gger91]

@camcuber The Z has a higher redline. He's not that close to it..the new 370 is much louder too.. So much fun to drive though my heart still belongs to my STI

[camcuber]

@RsBl0gger91 Cool, thanks for the info. I am looking at a 350z myself.

[MasterM0K]

This is the 40th Anniversary eh? Noticed the red stitching.

[Casowsky]

"Now, there's a light on here..."

"That's the gas"

"Oh right"

lmao

[MrIlovebmw86]

@Casowsky

hahaha

[TheGaMeRZ69]

@Casowsky The car was full 50 seconds ago XD

[oneshotkill324]

It's cool but to be honest, after driving a manual car for long enough, blipping downshifts basically becomes automatic. I don't even really consciously do it so much as it's just a build in reaction. Still a very nice idea from Nissan, and well engineered as well.

[sinzeb]

is that engine could????? if the answer is yes....what an idiot to rev it that high

[jersthecool]

That is a trip lmfao

[raginh8r]

This video would be better if you said, "That is a trip" like a dozen more times.

[FordSVT1313]

good video ill be getting mine soon. im actully getting this over my 98 cobra. i need something that will last me awhile and get good gas mileage
