I'm no expert, but on my 2018 nismo it feels like you need to be above like 5k rpm and accelerating to smoothly transition from 1st to 2nd, at which point the engine is screaming. It's a pretty terrible ratio for stop and go traffic, but probably better on the track for quick launches.
The manual is deliberately close-ratio: ~3.8:1 1st and ~2.3:1 2nd.
The automatic ratios, otoh, are significantly different: ~4.9:1 1st and ~3.1:1 2nd.
