370z pre purchase jitters PADDLE SHIFT urgent!

[z350convert]

I'm on brink of swapping 350 for a 370. I fancy paddle shifts for a change and I've found a 2010 car, but it's a long way away from me. A deal has been agreed in principal.

 

My question is; will a mid 2010 auto car with paddle shifters have the rev match system, or was it introduced later? It's a deal breaker.

 

Thanks

Don’t know about paddle shift but doubt it will have auto rev match. Google is your friend. You won’t have any regrets either way.

I believe only the manuals have synchro rev match,  with a button to turn it on and off.

My Nismo has the on and off option for rev match. No paddle shift but I think it’s a gimmick and not bothered about it.

You don’t need rev match on an automatic. It’s a torque converter, not a manual gearbox with regular clutches.

 

Pull paddle, it’ll either let you change gear and match the revs to do so or it won’t let you change gear at all.

Have you been Googling again, Dan?

Lol nope, have I missed something obvious then?!

Think i may have answered my own question. There is a youtube piece with a woman in a 2009 roadster doing a review. She mentions the “satisfying blip” of the engine when downshifting with the paddles.I know they use a torque converter rather than dual clutch on the auto but i was sure Nissan had come up with a rev match for it, i wasnt sure when they introduced it.

Thanks for the replies.

Mine does it, it’s a late 2010 

[Ekona]

Just to clarify, every single auto ’box (and dual clutches) does this. If it didn’t, then it would make the car undriveable as it would snatch at every high rpm downshift. 

 

Nissan, BMW, VAG, Vauxhall, all the same.

not a 2010, but should be the same all round
