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

You Want pics... Get off your asses and search for them, Don't see anyone of YOU Posting pics...

Girls just cant win with you guys..

A new girl will join, Post, Do the whole "Hi, I'm a Girl and drive a skyline" thing, get hit up for pics, Then Slagged or Paid out on for being an attention Seeking whore if she posts them..

Then someone will try and do the right thing, Create an intro Thread about her CAR!! And Still gets hit up for pics and in turn IF she provides them becomes the Attention Seeking Whore again.. :)

Anywayz..

Welcome Georgie..

Your beast sounds like she'll go well after the last few Wiring issues etc ... :P

Hope to see you and Tink out and about sometime.. :D

Good to see someone actually helping you out with your Questions too.. (THENIG) Apart from Just Hassling you for pics..

You thinking of heading out to Powercruise this year at all??

oh man. shut up beck. geeeeeeez. and post some pics of yourself while you're at it! :D

georgie isnt new, nor is she sensitive. we've already been thru this with her. no one is calling her an attention seeking whore.

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).

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
