2014 Nismo with possible Synchro Ref issues in 5th gear

Update #128:

Went for a nice morning drive on the highway testing this out. Making sure I shifted properly and cleanly, getting out of 4th and moving it up just enough to not disturb 3rd, and all the way to the right and up into 5th. Didn't happen once and I did a lot of them between 4-6k RPM. So now I'm more inclined to believe it's driver error but I'd still love for someone who knows this car inside to drive the car and confirm.

JARblue: regarding your post about that blip not really being enough... I can replicate that situation all day everyday to that exact blip. Seems if the shifter merely kisses 3rd on its way to 5th it'll give a half blip but if I purposely full on touch the gate of 3rd it'll give a more rowdy rev that you were talking about.

Can someone just confirm if the 4-5 Upshift is really THAT sensitive in regards to not mistakenly touching 3rd at all?
