SRM: Nissan's View, Failure to Change the Industry

Lemers · 05-22-2010, 02:17 PM

I understand it taking several years for another company that didn't hav the tech to copy it. What about Nissan not even adopting it into their own lineup outside the Z? The g coupe would have been a natural car to start with. It uses the same engine and transmission setup. It wouldn't have taken as much to put it in.

i like the fact that we have the only car in the world with the technology as of yet.

Lemers · 05-22-2010, 03:16 PM

When I drive I can't tell you for sure if the SRM is even being used. Only time a feel it is when I coming to a red stoplight.

Portlander · 05-22-2010, 03:30 PM

Played with it for the first couple of weeks and I applaud Nissan for the new technology, but I prefer it turned off.

6spd · 05-22-2010, 03:23 PM

I hope it is never used again... that way our cars retain some rather unique quality about it.

kenchan · 05-22-2010, 04:49 PM

also suppose if some euro-car applied it, it will be just another thing to break.

IMO its a good thing the SRM. That being said i drive a 7at
But i understand the mt guys wanting that extra control
I find myself missing the mt sometimes when i won't more
control that the 7at doesn't have. i think nissan brought it
out for those drivers who always wanted the thrill of a mt
because it easier to control.

New 911 Porsches (991) with the 7-speed manual also has SRM

kenchan · 11-30-2013, 08:57 PM

so many sucky MT drivers can drive like the rest of us!

You know why it's not catching on, because manual is a dying breed

sparky · 11-30-2013, 09:59 PM

I see the benefit in the auto as it makes downshifts seamless and must be easier on the tranny. If I had the MT I would turn it off too. Maybe slower shifting but I would prefer the heel toe.

While true, and I am part of that breed, I'm not dead yet.

The C7 is a temptress.
