I was down at Phillip Island this weekend and noticed an absolute ton of old school cars, mostly muscle cars. Was there some big event on this weekend, or is PI just a popular destination for cruises etc? I googled and couldn't find shit, and there was no signage around the area indicating any sort of event.

I was down there for the past few days as well, it was called Kustom Nats, loads of nice cars!!

Google didn't find me anything recent (not trying hard though) but got this from 2009:

The Kustom Nationals has a strict 1976 year cut off.

Kustoms of Australia invite you to be a part of the 7th Kustom Nationals, which will be held at Phillip Island Victoria on January 9-11th 2009.

The Kustom Nationals is the Holy Grail of the kustom car movement in Australia, when once a year the stage is set for all lovers of modified vehicles to come together to witness the latest offerings of the kustom car kulture, from mildly kustomized cruisers to krazy kustoms!

The Kustom Nationals is the means to help you express your view of automotive art , with representatives from top national and international magazines as well as auto related television shows present to broadcast our kustom lifestyle to the world!

The Kustom Nationals is a three day fun filled party, starting on Friday January 9th at the gorgeous seaside township of Cowes when Kustoms and Hot Rods take over the town for the duration of the annual Beach Party. During the day you get to cruise around the picturesque holiday resort, and later in the afternoon the bands set up down the end of main street with the bay as a backdrop, entertaining enthusiasts till late in the evening. There’s plenty to do during the Beach Party, with numerous cafes, hotels, and other interesting establishments surrounding the main street which is being closed to normal traffic for exclusive Kustom & Hot Rod parking. Saturday you will be treated to the Rockabilly Festival held at the Grand Prix track from 8.00 am till 6.00 pm, with non-stop music featuring the cream of Rockabilly bands from around Australia, and later in the evening the bands relocate to local hotels and the party continuous! Sunday the emphasis will be on non-stop cruisin’ of the famous Phillip Island Grand Prix track, while Rockabilly bands continue to provide entertainment.

      Car Rotisserie

      Ha ha, all good! I've almost caved in and realised I'm buying one.  I know myself well enough by now that I will start chasing ADHD butterflies half way through building it and not finish it so I'm better off spending the extra money buying one instead of making one just so I can get into straight away.  I would very much enjoy making one as fabrication is probably a strength and definitely a passion but I don't want that to be at the detriment to the car I'm ultimately building it for! There's some pretty good ones around for ~$1100 at the moment so I think I'll just go that way.  At the end I sell it or as mentioned, get another project to make further use of it! Thanks gents.

      That is the option code, not the VIN. Regardless all of that production is considered series 2: https://gtr-registry.com/en-ecr33-vin-table.php

      Apologies if I sounded like a arse My point was that you will not be able to buy a rotisserie that suits your car, you get the rotisserie frame, and then fabricate parts to mount the rotisserie frame to the body The rotisserie side is easy, but the fabrication of the actual mounts is the tricky part, where to mount so you don't bend/twist the body, plus the geometry involved to get it to turn  If your capable at fabrication, and can work out where the C/L is in relation to the weight is so it actually can turn, you should be sweet I would love to see the progress on this just for the thought processes and fabrication
