It is a sad announcement but SWOOP is up for sale (Happy for the guy who owns it next). Those of you who are lovers of Skylines would know of GTR R34 and would have heard about SWOOP.

I have had it for only 4 months and it has been the most exciting 4 months of my life. I'm now ready to pass on the excitement to someone else. (Very relunctantly)

If you have been looking for a genuine, immaculate R34 GTR, this is it. No prangs, no engine mods, just a superb piece of machinery.

If you have the $$$ and is genuinely in the market for a top quality R34 GTR, drop me a line or PM me. No time wasters please.

I will sell the famous "SWOOP" plates with the car as I think it is the car's identity.

Do a search on "SWOOP" in this forum and you will realise how famous this car is.

Why SWOOP? WHY? :P

This truly is an amazing machine and i'd sell my house to buy it! Worth every dollar and i can vouch for it, i read all 50 pages of SWOOP's 1st thread (Goddamn my eyes hurt after dat!)! Good luck in selling it, the new owner will be very impressed! FREE Bump!:uh-huh:

Come on guys what happened to all those lunch money you saved up in primary and highh school. Surely it would add up to couple hundred grand by now.

Take a loan from your grandma, tell her you''ll pay her back in 20 years. :P

can you tell us abit more about it like mileage what sort of money are you chasing for it any mods (yes i know he has said no mods but in the photos there is a AVC-R Boost controller and what looks like a apexi exhaust sysytem)what year is it and what model V-spec or not and wold you consider a trade.

Ok guys, here are the full specs but I will not list price on the forum. If you are genuinely interested, PM with unanswered questions but this thread is not intended for negotiation. Let just say that in aint your average GTR R34 and it aint less than $100k. If you want to make a reasonable offer, PM me or call me and I'll give you the price I'm after.

You are wasting your time if you are after a cheap R34 GTR. This is in prestine condition and arrived in Australia with only 3000km on the clock, next to brand new.

And when I say no mods, I meant no engine modifications, Just exhaust, electronic boost and HKS Intercooler. That is it....oh, and 4 new tyre caps but some damn kids pinched all four now. :P

The mirrors were $900. The DVD system sounds better than some home theatre system I have heard, seriously.

...close but no cigars. :D

If you read my description earlier, I said that if you are after a GTR R34 under $100k, you are wasting yout time. Anything under 100K would have been in a prang or have been thrashed at race track in Tokyo. SWOOP has never been on a race track and had 3000km on the clock when it arrived in Australia.

Seriously, this is a grade 5 and not a scratch. I will deduct $1k off for each scratch you can find....and I don't mean microscopic ones from the swirl marks. hahah

  • 1 month later...

Next car? Prob thinking of Merc ML 350 (4WD). Going back to luxury. GTR was awesome when it lasted but it was never a long term thing for me, more of an early mid life crisis, even though I'm not even 30. hehe

Also, with the import law restricting more GTR R34 coming into the country, I thought its time to pass on the privilege to someone else to enjoy. After seeing what potentially the R35 will look like. I know the R34 looks much more agressive and the RB26 will remain a legend.

No offence dude, but i think your car is too overpriced....

Its already 4 years old...If you were to peg your car's brand new price to say, a 1999 M roadster (130k)

it should be worth about 85k now

c'mon...

where are the moderators wen u need them...

Usuckpoo...that is exactly what I think of you. You obviously do not know a GTR from shit man....GTR R34 varies from $85 to $125k depending whats on it and what's been done to it. Starting at the $85k scale, you have min 30, 000km on the clock, been on track and over thrashed, then you have the ones about $100k with lower Ks but still prob been on the track and thrashed, and then you have the upper scale GTR R34 with low Ks, stock standard on purchase and add on original Nismo parts.... and where do you get off comparing a GTR, one of a kind to a BMW Roadster? Did you stumble across this forum by accident kiddo?

All in all, say what's on your mind but if you can't afford it, just leave it at that, this post was not suppose to be for discussion or for opinions without facts to back it up. Sure I have seen $85k GTR but I know it's not in the condition SWOOP is in, now way. See it in the flesh anc compare a $85k GTR Vs a $100K plus GTR and you can count the difference if not the scratches on the cheaper model. Sorry but I did take offence and you will find others will too if you start comparing any GTR with BMW roadster.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
