I just used the "syncro-match"

warbird · 03-30-2011, 02:09 PM

OMG OMG!! I have had my Nismo for 1 week and a day now. When I initially test drove it everytime I pressed the clutch the engine would rev and it was annoying, so I disabled S-mode.
Today I decided after doing some reading to see what the hype is all about. Again....OMG, OMG!! That is hella cool, the downshifts are super smooth. Before when coming to a complete stop, I would put it in neutral and coast or would select a lower gear that I knew the speed at the time could handle smoothly.
I heard some folks say the S-mode dumbs down the manual shifter or somehow the S-mode takes away from the shifting experience....that's a load of crap!!
Really cool innovation Nissan!!!

We have syncro rev match too, dude...

Down shift a gear or two on coast down, it will rev to match.

EDIT: They call it "Downshift Rev Match", but it's basically the same thing...

Yeah. Can you smoke, eat, read newspaper, and jerk off at the same time? with a paddle shifter, I can, all the time. Automatic WIN.

according to the highway code in the UK you can only do 1 of those things in the car while driving. the others are banned.

hint, only the final one is ok

I like it, but what I need is launch control

OP, the reason you read negative comments about Syncro Rev Match is because not everyone has a Nismo. Your tranny comes with eagle mode.
