i dont know of anyone upshifting mid-drift w an na ka on balcony. i dont think its possible or neccessary. if its the just-drift layout the upshift happens before initiating left to toward the round-about. other than that 2nd is pretty much king. where/when anyone specific person upshifts is determined by when their torque kicks in an how much "float time" the car is setup for(btw-sequential dogboxes are king in drifting because it allows minimum "float time" hence more grip everywhere. every car w a sequential dogbox is guaranteed to be really fast if setup correctly). the only time 3rd would be possible on an na ka is if the diff ratio was changed to something shorter(and prolly really short; i.e.-4.5:1, 4.7:1 etc.) upshifting on balcony for anything other than the initiation is pretty much over-kill. its possible and if done correctly=superboss but its difficult to achieve. the main point for people to upshift (on the justdrift course) is coming out of the roundabout going onto the end straight to do a high speed shallow angle manji(aka-one manji).
