The problem with the engine "hanging the revs" between shifts is due to the drive by wire throttle. There is about a half second delay from the pedal to the engine. Instead of getting off the gas and pushing in the clutch at the same time, I have learned to lift off the gas just before I clutch. You can get very smooth shifts that way. I wish Nissan would fix this. I test drove a 2010 370 Nismo and there was NO delay, just like my 1991 SER which has a good old throttle cable.
