Hi, this is a little strange, but my 2016 gt350r sometimes won’t rev when I’m trying to blip for downshifting.
I’m pushing in the clutch but it’s not revving, even though I’m blipping the throttle.
Is there a clutch safety switch that isn’t allowing the blip because I’m partially engaged or something? I don’t think I am, but something, likely electronic is preventing my throttle blip.

Would love to see what people have to say about this… I get this exact thing but only when downshifting from 3rd to 2nd. 2018 non R for me.

Dead stock? no auto blip module or anything?

I never experienced that...dont recall hearing about it either. Any other symptoms? bucking? hesitation?

When you say it doesn't blip, does that mean the engine is completely unresponsive? or is it delayed/less responsive.

the engine should blip clutch in/out. it wont care about that from what I recall.

Totally stock. No modules, tunes or anything… I’m still on the original tires!
It’s completely unresponsive, as if it’s not getting the signal…

interesting. assume it's only happening when the brake pedal is also beign applied?

only thing I can think of is the clutch switch having issues and the ECU is locking out throttle. probably a safety think when brakes are being applied

I've had that happen numerous times, and/or the active exhaust valves close momentarily, too. Only happens from 3rd to 2nd as well.

What happens if you jam on the throttle, not just blip?

I've never had that, but tbh, I never mastered heel-toe shifting either so I was probably doing something wrong.

Kinda funny but sometimes at full throttle I have the opposite problem. I push in the clutch and remove my foot from the throttle and the revs shoot up. Also completely stock car.
