Rev-match worth it

duggie2fresh

Congrats!!
I seen Nissan is offering the 0% interest this month and I'm a little pissed I missed out on it but we had some nice weather in march and I couldn't hold out.
What color did you go with

If you know how to drive stick and match anyway, rev match is pretty much useless. I leave it turned off. If you drop into neutral for stopping at the lights, it will gun the engine up thinking you plan to shift into another gear - ugh. Don't freewheel the engine please.


The diff is great, the brakes are fantastic, and the sport wheels are nice. Definitely worth the small cost. The brakes alone do it.

Some cars are more difficult to rev match than others. I recently test drove a 2016 camaro 2ss. It too has the rev match option. I found it difficult to manually blip the throttle, it seems there was throttle lag or the throttle didn't respond right away. The 2015 version of this car was easier to blip. Had the same problem with a 2015 mustang gt (haven't tried the MY16 yet).

With the G & 370z, throttle responds immediately when blipping. ymmv

I usually turn mine off for DD, but on the track or "twisties" it really comes in handy as my heel-toe skills are lacking...

I like the rev match. I'm DD'ing my nismo and drive it in some stop and go traffic at times. I'm the opposite of Mults on this. Being able to be half awake and not worry about downshitting is very nice. It is easy mode, but it is [CURRENT YEAR], so why the hell not?

I'm sure it'll be nice when I take it to the track. The pedal pack is mega easy heal toe friendly so I may not even use it on the road course.

i love the rev match. especially when downshifting or just coming to a slow it gives the car so much of a smoother feel.

I drive my Z daily and wear steel toe boots, so it's impossible to heel / toe so the rev match is wonderful, weekend with sneakers I shut it off to play with the gears

i never even put it in sport mode

Little known fact - if you change your final drive ratio from OEM the rev-match no longer works. After first downshift it is disabled and you lose your gear indicator also. Will turn back on after engine restart.

Is this something that can be fixed with tuning or programming?

Auto blip needs to be an option on Ecutek!

You guys listening???

It should be against the law to sell the Z without SP!!!

That would be a very useful law Mr Trump

No sports car sales without real sports car options as standard. The base brakes are too abrupt even for aggressive driving. U need lsd. N SRM is great for smooth downshifts every single time... don't believe the hype.

Forgot about this thread. The Ecutek updates DO have auto-blip now, I'm just not sure if it can be activated on non-sport models i.e: base. Been meaning to ask Seb but keep on forgetting when emailing logs and tunes back and forth.

I don't think the auto-blip from ecutek is same as the synchro-rev. I tried that function from another car with ecutek, it basically kinda blip the throttle during downshift, but it's more of an estimate than a perfect rev.
