SynchroRev Match Feature on 370z

You can just turn off SR if you want to engine brake with tranny while down shifting.

At first I didn't like the SR because I have been use to heel/toe shifting for many years, it was a learned skill that I wasn't ready to give up.

After driving the car for over 1000 miles now, I have succumbed to it, I can say that once you get use to it, it just makes sense. Just mash the brakes and downshift and it hits the engine revs perfectly every time, there are very few drivers that can do that every single time. SR is something I feel that a lot of other MT cars will have on them in the future. It works good!, and if you don't want it, turn it off.

Just to make sure no one gets the wrong impression, I want to point out that you do not have to hit the brakes for the automatic blipping to take place. The engine blips as soon as it detects that you've shifted to a lower gear, regardless of whether or not you're on the brakes.

yea that.
and the engine revs automatically even though you dont go into a gear.
for example.. like when you move the lever left towards gear 1-2 when you were cruising at 45 at 4th.. it will automatically start revving up.

Actually, this is kinda depends. I actually experimented with this the other day. If you move the shifter from 3rd over to the 1-2 side, you are right that it will blip even before you actually slide into 2nd. But try moving it out of 4th -- it won't blip until you actually move into 3rd. And that makes sense, because there's no way for the computer to know if you're moving from 4th into 3rd, or 4th into 5th (in which case it'd not make sense to blip). Whereas if you're moving the shifter to the left 1-2 slot, then it's obvious that you're downshifting even before you actually slide into 2nd. It's a very slick system!

I never hit the break first before downshifting .........but I have been doing this for over 35 years and in sports cars....I also never hit the break before entering a turn.....but instead step on the gas.........maybe I just drive too aggressively ......lol.........but then again that is why I loooove sports cars.......
