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.

Beach Party… Rockabilly Festival… Top Chop How-To… Pinstriping Workshop… Pin Up Contest… Hot Rod Tattoo Contest… Model Car Show… Kustom Kulture Exhibition… Hot Rod & Lifestyle Traders… Kustoms… Hot Rods… Classics… Muscle Cars… Mini Rods… Lowrider Bikes… Flamethrowers… Muffler Rap… Cruisin’… it doesn’t get much better than this! So what are ya waiting for!!! Make plans today… to be at Phillip Island on January 9-11th 2009 for the 7th Kustom Nationals!

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
