Hey,

Well ive been lurking around this site for a while but havnt done an introduction.. sooo... Here it is...

My names Georgie, I moved to Brisbane from Townsville and dont know too many people here in the car/skyline scene in Brissy. I am a part time professional model and full time medical admin. I have an 1992 R32 gtst and her name is Tink (I name my cars :P ). Tink recently had a heart transplant... She now has had the RB25 conversion which was done with my bf and myself in our garage.. Definately a learning curve for me! Would also recommend not to do it in summer... it was soo hot!

Few things like wiring etc to fix up but she runs fairly well so Im happy..

I have the RB25 bolted onto the RB20 gearbox for now, as I ran out of $$$.... It is next on my list of things I want/need to get once Ive sold the RB20det engine... :-D

I have an RB20 Exedy cluch, I bought myself a brand new shiney Cooling Pro radiator for Christmas and put a catch can in with some braided lines and speedflow fittings just to make it look a bit more tidier..

Im not planning on building my car into anything too crazy just something that's a bit of fun. I want to try and have a go at drifting or doing a bit of track. Nothing serious but would like to have a go at it as I love trying new things! :-).

I d hve a few questions to ask after my conversion...

I found the accellorator pedal sits up higher than it should after the conversion.. I used the RB25 accellorator cable (as I read that you would need this for the conversion) but it's sitting too high for my foot and it's annoying me! I have a towel so I can push the pedal because my feet arent big enough! lol.. Would I need to take it somewhere to get a custom cable made up for it?? or has someone had the same problem and can help me out with this? It's probaly something really simpla haha

Hopefully you can answer some of my questons.. Im still learning so please be gentle!

Anywho... Here are some photos of my baby!

Peace out,

Georgie

I have had the same problem with my conversion for the last 12 months but haven't done anything to fix it yet. (too many other things needed to be done before i could worry about accelerator pedal and now i am use to the position )

Three ideas i have been toying with but haven't decided which to persue;

1. get new accelerator cable made up that is longer/shorter (??)(not sure where you could get this done in queensland or how much it wold cost),

2. I think you can make a new bracket that holds the cable & bolts to the inlet manifold to shorten/lengthen the distance between throttle & outer sheath of cable. (could probably make this up yourself but unsure what it would end up looking like )

3. Unbolt accelerator pedal itself, put it in a vice & bend it 10deg. with a big persuader pole.

If anyone else has constructive advice or first hand experience??

PS. Oil breather looks nice but is it legal to have 'vent-to-atmosphere' in Queensland?? Also do u have to get this conversion engineered in queensland??

Are you an official SAU 'greeter' or something?

I am just questioning the legitimacy of your 'official' welcome...

:D

no, i was simply meaning that she has been on here for a while, and i'm sure plenty of people have already said hello, and since this is her official hello thread, i was saying hello officially

georgie is 1 of the boys, so to speak. she didn't post up a thread saying oo look at me i own a skyline and i have a vagina so that makes me some super cool chick. any girl who posts up saying that they are a girl with a skyline in the name of the thread as their initial introduction is asking for attention, otherwise they wouldn't go out of their way to do it (which although georgie has done that, we already know she is a girl with a skyline so it is common knowledge already). she casually popped in and said hi, flashed a bit of skin and gained her respect. she also didn't create some thread about how she was going to create some mega hp car and ask how she should do it and then tell everyone that they were wrong and she was going to do it her way and everyone could rooted like some other member has done. she has earned respect from us through the less is more approach (which also seems to be her views towards clothes by her pics, LOL).

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
