Yea because it totally matters what nickname you give the manual mode... make sure you dont say tiptronic when talking about our manual mode in our Z guys, people might think your talking about your porsche.....chill out.

Your timeslip may help people understand where you are screwing up.

Tiptronic is on manual shifting cars,specifically Porsches and F1 cars where you are shifting without using the clutch.
Accordaleer...If I'm not mistaken the 5AT doesn't have a clutch.
The comments in this thread are pretty funny. I have been racing my 5AT in the 1/4 mile for quite awhile and unless you have a TC upgrade and upgraded VB and set the rev limiter higher, just leave it in auto mode because you can not shift any faster than the ecu....just trying to help

Tiptronic uses a torque converter, not a clutch. Nissan uses the Tiptronic license from Porsche in the 350Z.
The AT 350Z has a Tiptronic transmission.

So your saying Porsches don't have a clutch.....I think your mistaken
edit....nope I am wrong...I need to start reading up more.Maybe I was thinking of sequential gear boxes.
HDPD350Z you are correct

Or you can stop all this nonsense, your a bada** BS and realize that you are in the DRAG section of the forum and that the Street section was knocked off. Post a slip is something we say to people who really race there car on a track, where it belongs. Its how you can really tell who is faster.
So in conclusion, go back to the Off topic section with this garbage, or just post a time slip. Thanks!
Honestly, this thread does have some cool info. on tiptronic and what not, but it doesnt belong in here.

I find it weird, when i get on it hard, the manual will shift basicly instantly, but if im just cruising slowly, it lags about half a second literally. Almost like it knows im not in a rush to shift into next gear.
My advice, if racing, drag or not, i would leave it in auto mode, if you shift a fraction too late and hit the rev limiter you screw yourself, auto mode will take it to redline long as you have pedal to the floor.

OP -- was your TCS/VDC turned off? Make sure it's turned off when you're drag racing. I turn them off in auto-x.
