Most of the answers you are receiving are NOT correct. The relationship between your grandfather's 1st cousin's child and you would be "2nd cousin once removed".
The only accurate answers as of my response are: Shirley T, billybonzobones and myself.
To take this one step further - if this relative you met has a child, this child would be your 3rd cousin. The "once removed" relationship means that you would be one generation different than the person you met. This person's child, however, supposedly would be more your age/generation.
The information I provided is based on personal knowledge and verifying by using the Relationship Calculator on my Family Treemaker program.

Well, assuming that your grandfather's cousin is a first cousin to him. His daughter would be a 2nd cousin to your father. Therefore she would be your 2nd cousin once removed.

First cousins thrice removed. There is a pretty good explanation in Wikipedia.

A 3rd cousin would be the Grandkids of your Granparents brothers or sisters, so you are not even that closely related. I guess it would be fourth or fifth cousins if there is such a thing.

Yes, anything past 2nd cousin is 3rd cousin.
