Auto Rev Matching

[Payco]

Just tried using the auto rev match on my new Nismo 370z and it is only working on the downshift.Does anyone have any advice or clue as to why it isn't working on the upshift ?.

 

Thanks

Martin

  Seriously?!

 

It's only ever going to work on the downshift: You'd never ever want the engine to spike the revs going up the 'box, as the revs are naturally going to drop (so 6000rpm in 2nd might be 4000rpm in 3rd).

This seems to suggest you had it turned off before?! turn it on, never turn it off   It's too good to turn off.

Also, just replied to your PM

Thanks Ekona but it's meant to work on the upshift too which Matt has now explained.

[Ekona]

Explain it to me then, because I can't see how rev matching (which essentially mimics heel and toeing) works on an upshift. You'd never want the revs to rise on an upshift.

I haven't had it happen for a long time, but I 'think' it is when you take ages to change up a gear. Example:

Driving in third

Clutch in / revs start to drop

Take too long to engage fourth

Revs drop to below what would be fourth

So as you engage fourth the revs increase to suit

[Ekona]

Right, gotcha. So basically you'd have be driving really badly and/or mis-shift without engagement for it to do anything at all on the upshift. That makes a bit more sense, cheers Matt

it works also on upshift, if you press the clutch and you wait the rpm will stop at the right point.

 

But normally unless you shift gear very slowly you don't notice
