2014 Nismo with possible Synchro Ref issues in 5th gear

JDubya · 02-08-2015, 10:56 AM

This has happened to me before, only the first few minutes after a cold start in the winter when temperatures are really cold. When I say really cold, I mean to the point where the LEDs inside the car (gear indicator, stereo, etc) look like they're struggling to change because of how cold it is. It's not consistent though, other than the fact that I've never had this issue beyond the first few minutes on some isolated days.

I don't know enough to understand any logic as to why the above happens, but I thought I'd share that you aren't the only person this has happened to.

Never had this issue with my Z. With the video you showed it does look like something is wrong with the sensor being to sensitive.
Tried to replicate this morning even if I shift slowly towards fifth with a pause at neutral did not get any blip on the throttle.
Plus the sound of your rev upshift doesn't sound right. Or It could be just the audio of the video.

What rpm were you doing this at? The issue with me isn't with taking too long during the shift with extended time in neutral. The issue is accidentally very slightly touching 3rd on the way to 5th.
