I just bought a Nissan GT-R but I'm having trouble shifting gears smoothly. Any tips on how to do it properly?
ReplyFirst and foremost, it's essential to practice and get a feel for the clutch and gear shifter in the GT-R. Every car is different, and it takes time to get used to the unique feel of the GT-R's transmission. Additionally, try to be gentle with your shifts and avoid rapid and jerky movements. Gradually release the clutch while simultaneously giving enough gas to smoothly transition into the next gear. Last but not least, make sure you're in the appropriate gear for your current speed to prevent stalling or over-revving the engine.
I've found that rev-matching while downshifting in the GT-R is crucial for a smooth and seamless gear shift. Essentially, this means blipping the throttle to match the engine speed with the road speed before releasing the clutch. This helps to prevent any jerky movements and maintains the stability of the car. Practice and patience are key, but once you get the hang of it, shifting gears in the GT-R becomes effortless and satisfying.
