Better With Synchro-Rev Off?

Honestly, my 1st to 2nd up-shifts were much smoother with the synchro-rev feature off. Anyone else experience this?

Yes....Turn off your VDC and try your shifts. You will notice that they are smooooooother... It was that way with my G35 and also with the 370z. I turn it off each time i get into the car, the shifts are smooth. Soft shifts everytime. I also turn off the SRM.

Both is Ok

Did you try it with the VDC off? U should notice that the shifts are smoother.

It seems a lot of people on this site are "afraid" or "discourage" people to drive with the VDC off

..And they are right! If you are going to disrespect the car it can be horrible. I don't race and I don't shift passed 4000 rpm...In the snow/rain/ice/cold the VDC should be on. That being said I NEVER had it on with my previous car G35 6mt and I turned it off day one in the 370z.

The shifts are much smoother with the VDC off

got to drive Dai's 370 somewhat "briskly" this past weekend in the GA mountains, SRM on. after getting used to it (driving a normal manual up to now, it takes conscious thought to avoid tapping the gas pedal myself), i really enjoyed it. it was very accurate, and was especially fun when driving enthusiastically. unless you are a pro at heal-toe driving, i say SRM should stay on.

I love it on so I can hear my AAM Short Tails on downshifts. It sounds so awesome!!

Not to mention the accel pedal is so annoyingly planted in the ground unlike all reasonable cars

Makes my heel and toe not wanna bend in those ways

Hmmm...maybe its just my imagination then...
I am going to try it with VDC off, but only when the pavement is completely dry.
Seriously, there are days when things seem to be smooth with the 1st to 2nd shifts, and other days when it (or me?) really sucks. Thanks for the feedback.

on my car i noticed the same thing, when SRM is on 1st to 2nd isn't as smooth when SRM is off...

also, i don't think VDC has anything to do with smoothness.

Try it out and take a feel!

I agree, it seems like 1st to 2nd is smoother with SRM off. I think it's because it takes a little bit longer for RPMs to die down when SRM is on, and this is most noticeable from 1st to 2nd as there's like a 1k RPM difference between those gears.

hope there's no churches nearby...
