Really, effort is pretty low. You hand fistfuls of cash over to someone else and pick it up when done... And at least this shitbox isn't drinking coolant right? -
And most chargers that most DIY people own would put bugger all power back into the battery between cylinders. I've always done it with jumper packs/second battery connected. And that's on any car. Because race car, and wanting the lightness. At least in an R33, putting a bigger battery in can at least help shift the weight balance backwards

OR, Tell the Motec to STFU, you said shift, so try shifting! But then yes, I agree, more sensors needed to. Put either a wheel speed sensor, or a diff speed sensor on it. Then get an input shaft speed sensor too. (I say input shaft speed, and not engine RPM). This way, you can now also log and see if the clutch is slipping (RPM, vs input shaft speed), and you can calculate gear (Input shaft speed / Output shaft speed). At least then if the gear position sensor fails you have a backup. And realistically, the Motec should only worry about what gear you're in for the parts where I'm assuming you have some power management strategies in it for the lower gears. (IE, lower boost, maybe different throttle curves, different ignition curves, etc etc). But it should stop it shifting. Pull the flappy, that f**ker should just attempt the motion! Heck, even on a sequential like on a motorbike, you can keep trying to kick it up a gear all you want, the physically part of the box takes care of not being able to loop the whole way around the box! Only part you'd have to worry is how it gets to reverse. But that's on the driver... An R32 shouldn't be so smart as to try and override the driver on a gear shift

Yeah, nah. Anyone not putting the absolutely largest battery that will physically fit (ie, NS70 X) is not thinking straight. the NS70 X is close on double the capacity of the "stock" unit. -

Not only should you be testing compression with a strong battery, you should be putting a charger on it. These cars have pretty small batteries and it's possible to discharge them enough that by the last cylinder the starter isn't turning as fast.
