:iagree: I hate to admit it but rarely off. Just for kicks, I'll turn it off for the day.

I just realized this is an old thread. I may have voted the opposite way back then.

I prefer it on, but I take turns with it on and off just to keep things exciting. But after a few "not so perfect" matches, I can't help thinking how I'm slowly chipping the life out of the clutch. I'm sure I'm being a little paranoid, but it's hard to deny when SRM does it perfectly every time.

I've never had it on yet except when I drove the Z off the dealer. I just can't bring myself to it, besides the more you drive a manual the smoother you get at heel and toe and rev matching. Maybe on a track day I might turn it on.
:happydance:

As long as we all remember, regarding turns; Clutch out when wheels are pointed straight.

Yep - the more we ask those tire patches to handle, the more likely we are to get in trouble. I drive with SRM on because it's cool technology.

I don't have Sports Package, so I don't have SRM on my Z.

So I can't vote on this one but I think it doesn't matter if I chip in.

The technology behind the SRM is amazing, however, the more you use the SRM, the more you will depends on it, at least that's what I feel after reading the 4 pages of this thread.

And, the more you depends on it, the more rusty on your heel-toe.

But hey, aren't heel-toe the best part of driving a stick-shift??

Doesn't trying to do heel-toe at your best give you the most pride??

Doesn't it make you feel better if you tell yourself "Man, I can heel-toe like a pro... yea." ???

Maybe I am a bit old-school thinking or stubborn :icon18:

But how can I let the electronic 'kill' the 'art' of driving a stick-shift.

That's why I didn't even bother to think about the sports-package when I order the Z: I will choose a set of 19 with the style I like, I won't track the Z so the sports-brake is not within my concern, and the SRM... you heard what I said. LOL

Just my $0.02, of course, you like it, use it!! But let your heel do some exercise sometimes. LOL

:tup: :tup:

For me its hard to heal and toe because I'm 6'4" with size 14 shoes which makes room to work very small. SRM makes it so much easier though and no one know from outside the car :happydance:.

Same, i turned if off at first, then forgot to turn it off one day...it's been on since.

Well as it says under my name there "hates VDC", although i crashed this car because it was off i still find my self reaching for that button every time i start the car, weird, and if i forget it at some times i can feel how sluggish the car moves and shurley after few yards i cant resist but to turn it off. Damn you nissan egineers why did you have to make such a powerful car? Why oh why....er what? The engine is still supressing power? how come i dont get this info before i type this in now i have go and change it all.


AAaagghh....ef it.


P.S. What the heck is SRM??...Oh its that little button right next to my shifting stiky thingy i never use what was it created for again???

I just got my Z yesterday so the jury's out. I answered "no" because right now I think I've got "trust" issues... I had SRM on for several miles leaving the dealership and it was freaking me out; messing with my shifts too much! I suspect if I just give up and let it do its thing, I'll fall in love with it. But I'm not there yet.

It's on. Downshifts are smoother... but Upshifts are not as smooth. Why is that?

shouldn't matter. perhaps you are not applying slight throttle when engaging the higher gear during your up shift?

I used to love the feature and had it ON until recently I started heel-and-toeing myself and finally got it somewhat smooth. I have it turned OFF now and the car feels even better! Of course, if I wear long shoes then I have hard time, but I try to practice often!

It's really difficult to heel-toe in high heels/platforms so I just leave it on.
