Synchro-Rev Reaction

Tommy's first experience with the Synchro-Rev feature in the new 2010 Nissan 370Z with Sport Package.

[@fourtyseven05]

"it wont even let me go into first..." ...that's because you're going 40 mph...

[@TheSaint0358]

You can put it in first but it’s hard to do it because of how much strain it causes the synchros

[@TonyTube407]

There's a light on. Yeah, that's the gas. Here's your sign.

[@ureonme]

+Steve Duffin true. can't even see what's being displayed in my 2016 when your sitting the passenger.

[@videomaniac108]

I just bought a 2019 370Z sport coupe with SRM and it's an interesting feature. I've been driving manual shift cars for almost 50 years and have developed a pretty good heel/toe rev matching technique but I do like using this feature, mainly because it reduces driveline shock.

[@Farekim]

Did he really try do shift down to 1st?

[@psycheevolved1428]

You can.....

[@slowdownx3919]

@@psycheevolved1428 its bad to though

[@josephbrown5566]

I need this. I love my car but I want the rev matching... can't physically heel tow due to disability...

[@dynamiccircle6154]

i actually like the synrco rev match because you dont have to worry when to down shift cause when you down shift in this, it automatically syncs the shift time

[@Casowsky]

"Now, there's a light on here..." "That's the gas" "Oh right" lmao

[@shamim0071]

Syncro Rev match is designed mostly for track purpose or lazy drivers if you want the full feel of your car and the pure excitement of heel and town and rev matching yourself then turn it off. In my 350z I personally like rev matching because gives me a sense that it's a manual gearbox and I can do it myself

[@rmandingo357]

"If you're unable to rev match without the assist, then you shouldn't drive a high performance car" What a silly statement. I always have this feeling that when people say things like that, they themselves most likely have horrendously jerky heel-toe technique. Everyone becomes Mario Andretti on forums and KZbin comments

[@stopherrr]

Yup, it's called the inferiority complex

[@wawasgood]

Wouldn't mind it in my car either, I love matching manually but if I get lazy or really tired it's nice to have it available.

[@GixxerRider1991]

I remember driving my Z one morning not longer after I first bought it and thinking it would be a good idea to take the TC off and drop from 5th into 3rd around 4,000 rpm. The rear tires squealed at 60 mph I was into triple digits before I knew what hit me. Little incidents like that will make you respect the power of the machine you're operating. The Syncro rev system is excellent and makes driving the car an absolute blast.

[@streetsweeprz]

wow. i live under a rock ,ive never seen that rev match in a manual . ive been blipping the throttle on machines ( bikes quads cars trucks hang gliders space shuttles andshopping carts ) for years , and i think it would be a hard habit to break ,but thats pretty neat . i never cared for the rev match in auto's ,but this prob improves the driving experience for alot of people . very cool

[@daniellawniczuk5508]

"Put it in 4th" REVVVVV "That's second....."

[@camcuber]

@RsBl0gger91 I don't think so.. I thought that it just helped you shift smoother. You still shouldn't rev up to redline with or without synchro rev.

[@klavier285]

I wouldn't mind having this feature on my car, I always rev match but it's near impossible to get it perfect every time.

[@zhemin]

5 years late, but no it's not you just suck.

[@Jongiblets]

@iceman67340 Yes, it will work on up shifts. You just have to be shifting really slow to notice it.

[@TurboNeon185]

@LevelHeadOpinion i know how to heel toe downshift but i do mess up every once in a while. i just test drove one of these and it really is pretty cool... and it never messes up.

[@abc_u_hater]

New z owner literally 2 days owning an 09 370z any tips on how to fix the blind spot im.gonna try auto zone circle miorr add ons lol

[@RalliWes18]

@headshooter44 yeah its a cool feature to have when you are not having a spirited drive or just traffic

[@mytalkingmouth]

Our 40th anniversary sits in our garage...fun

[@emancipation19]

sound of that car was eargasmic!!

[@MasterM0K]

This is the 40th Anniversary eh? Noticed the red stitching.

[@kriswilliam9629]

Just bought my 09 and I got grinding going into 5th from 6th.

[@camcuber]

@RsBl0gger91 Cool, thanks for the info. I am looking at a 350z myself.

[@bludika]

yea, i agree, when they first relased the 370z, i thought the synchrorev was a standard feature but you don't get it with the base model, you gotta pay like $3000 for the sport package that includes the synchrorev, i don't think it's worth it

[@videomaniac108]

I got a 2019 370Z sport coupe and I'm glad it's on it, although that wasn't the main reason I got the sport package. The wheels, tires, brakes, sound system, revised suspension settings and aerodynamic body parts were worth it to me.

[@ROCKSOLID19]

I got one with the SynchroRev mode and on a mountain road the car can literally rape lightning. I used to heal and toe and double declutch before on previous vehicle and the car can make much quicker decisions than I can.

[@ck157c]

I personally like this even though I can heel-toe, just one less thing to worry about when focused on driving.....

[@Qweklain]

Dude, that was a trip!

[@FordSVT1313]

good video ill be getting mine soon. im actully getting this over my 98 cobra. i need something that will last me awhile and get good gas mileage

[@maximus9401]

this is the nismo right? red stiching

[@mannys9130]

I yelped when he missed it into 2nd. Bro, engines grenade from shit like that. So scary.

[@michaelpacman]

So dumb how the G37 doesn't get this feature. This is a luxury feature and it doesn't go on their luxury cars....

[@charjohnnie]

More like a performance feature and the Z is more performance oriented than the G... $00.2

[@sk8punk318]

I have a G37 and I had a G35, they both came with rev match actually...

[@Allmotorzl1]

A automatic G37 has rev match,...

[@intrepid_wandering]

Indeed cool, Nissan is really on top of there game recently. But does anyone else feel this takes away from the driving experience. I don't drive a manual to say I do. I drive it because I like to have the most control/feel of the car as possible. If I could buy a car with 4 pedals and 2 gearboxs (if that made sense or was possible to do of course) I would.

[@skylineracr]

I think it was a trip.

[@supboy666]

pretty awesome for track if u ask me kinda like a cheat lol. id prob have it off since ive only had my manual car for 2 months so id like to actually get good at shifting lol.

[@corruption5001]

I need this feature because I wear size 16 shoe and I can hardly heel-toe because of my bigfeet

[@headshooter44]

@RalliWes18 your argument would make sense if you couldnt turn it of, but with a simple push of a button, you have the fun all for yourselve :) unless you cant revmatch on downshifting this is a really cool feture to show of at an traffic light^^

[@RalliWes18]

@BlueAvenue22 true, but i rather just do it for myself, its funner to me =]

[@mreis221]

is that a trip?

[@MrDumptyTheDeadman]

Is this a new gear only in the Nismo model?

[@videomaniac108]

It's on all of the models above the base coupe. I have it in my sports coupe and like it.

[@TheGaMeRZ69]

@Casowsky The car was full 50 seconds ago XD

[@RalliWes18]

@wolf1010 yeah honestly its cool and all, but it would definitely take away from the fun driving experience of having to do it all.. just like the flappy pedals on the GTR, tho it does shift faster, but now its not as fun if everything is done for you.. =/

[@camcuber]

lmao putting it in first going like 40. that would be interesting

[@jmrub06]

I want one...

[@Driver-Daily]

Every car should automatically be in sport mode when you turn it on

[@videomaniac108]

SRM will stay on all the time, until you disable it. The car's traction control always activates when the engine is started, which is annoying for me.

[@er1k93]

more like tommy's first experience with a straight shift.

[@jhaze918]

your buddy was getting too friendly with those gears

[@DaLeadBull]

Its a cool feature for when you get lazy. lol

[@wajeh77]

i always rev match downshift in my Z32.

[@insonita55]

I have this car with the sincro-rev...there is one big problem...when I am facing a yellow light and I am traveling fairly quick and I need to do an emergency stop...my first reaction is to brake and hold the clutch down to put it on neutral and finaly stop...on that second that I do that the engine goes to red line if I am going over 50mph. is very annoying and I usually turn it off just of pure rage...Is a great track feature but not on daily driving. I hate traffic light cameras....

[@camcuber]

what is he doing sitting there in second gear while the motor is screaming, "shift me! shift me!"

[@brbn93]

This feature is neat since... Wait, never mind.

[@i_dodge_trees]

that's pretty cool, but it's still so much fun to heel-toe into a corner!

[@CAAA_007]

Why the fuck is it focused on the shift knob??

[@TheHunterRavine]

Great for people that think you have to rev match /facepalm. Good feature but to be honest useless for an every day driver. I love Z's but this feature is more of a selling feature that most people wouldn't think of otherwise nore do most people understand the true concept behind,

[@videomaniac108]

Of course you don't have to rev match, but it greatly reduces driveline shock if you do match the revs in going into a different gear. Please enlighten us on these "true concepts" you mentioned, sounds fascinating.

[@jersthecool]

That is a trip lmfao

[@sk8punk318]

here's an idea, show the tach!

[@JSur]

+sk8punk318 Or you could watch a different video lol. Description does say its about TOMMY FIRST EXPERIENCE, not how rev match works. Theres an idea ;)

[@MrIlovebmw86]

@Casowsky hahaha

[@davidhilton2625]

The synchro rev a neat gimmick sometimes, but for me it's always more fun manually rev match. I just leave it off 99% of the time. I appreciate the effort on Nissan's part though

[@dyone3]

2nd gear all the way!

[@bsktsk8ter9]

Cool! One more way to feel less-engaged with the car. Maybe soon they'll eliminate the clutch..and then make it where the car shifts for you! Oh wait..

[@laxboy4788ice2]

lmao hahaha thats the gas...oh right....oh geeze

[@hithur]

you can turn it off if you want to...

[@Bischlarbo69]

I think this dude's trippin...

[@60222justin]

Sure it's quicker but it involves no skill, put a person in the drivers seat who has barely any knowledge of a manual transmission and I bet they will be a pro right away.

[@ps3psnps3]

or you could learn the actual skills to do this yourself!

[@JSur]

+ps3psnps3 I had a 350z and am looking to move into the 370z and am actually curious as to whether or not Im going to like the revmatch. Ive gotten so used to tapping the gas when downshifting. I even stopped using the clutch when shifting, up or down, cause i got to know the car so well. Fun stuff!

[@BhrisBurry]

+Josh Suriano you can turn it off

[@JSur]

+alcovachris33 Yea I'm aware now. I got TT 2011 370 and the revmatch is nice when downshifting. It's a little sketchy when I'm braking to a stop cause I like to coast and sometimes it'll keep the rpms up. Overall I think I like it.

[@edgarcia4673]

+Josh Suriano how does it react when you put it into neutral to come to a stop

[@JSur]

+ItsMeTODDKRANES!!! Depending on what gear I'm in and how aggressive in driving the computer sometimes anticipates a downshift and will spike the RPM's. But 9/10 all it does is hover the rpm for about 2 seconds before it realizes I'm coasting.

[@sinzeb]

is that engine could????? if the answer is yes....what an idiot to rev it that high

[@J90JAM]

Poor car...

[@AdmissionGaming]

This isn't a real manual, its a automatic..

[@videomaniac108]

It is a real manual. SRM just adjusts the engine speed so that the gears are turning at exactly the same RPM when you shift, something you would normally do manually. You can turn it off if you want. It could be a help in preventing transmission damage if you accidentally shifted from 5th to 4th instead of from 5th to 6th.

[@sukmynutz69]

Teach this mans to drive manual ffs
