sweet. How the heck do you do that in an auto? Both of my parents cars shift up when they hit redline (I, uh, looked that up online...). And no, I'm not going to burn any rubber off of their tires

.

That's what the "1" is for

That's what the "1" is for

like I said, they automatically shift at redline in "manual" mode. That's usually ok with me though, they sound amazing at ~5-5.5k (mom's Maxima) and 3-5+k (dad's murano, that sounds like a truck when its straining for some reason). Even in 6th gear at 2k RPM with a ton of gas, it gets angrier at you: "hey you, stop pushing that damn pedal into my back

," although at 2k in 6th the thing doesn't get any faster...

its an auto but is actually a semi auto sequential trans (the 350gt skyline has paddle shifters) it will hold a gear and bounce off redline. I did the peel out thing in first then mangi with 2nd. I can shift thru all gears just no clutch like triptronic but it actually works.

lol that looks slow but that was 3rd gear I was bouncing off redline into 4th

sequential as in +/- or as in D/4/3/2/1 or D/4/3/L?

as in the gears are in line inside the tranny like a motorcycle... It is setup like this

p-r-n-d and then I have a thing that I can slide it to that is +/- on the side. and lets me use 1-2-3-4-5 like a manual without a clutch. It will stay in the gear and bounce off the rev limit till you shift it.

It is not really a sequential but it acts like one. (like the m3 tranny without the problems)

 

[Stein]

OK, yeah I also use the +/- (in my parents' cars). They won't let you redline though, it will shift (automatically with no way to disable) after under a second from when you hit it. It will also shift down when the engine is spinning too slowly.
