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.

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
