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).

      Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.

      People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
