All the SCOOP on SWOOP!!!!


Recommended Posts

Guest Austin Powers

Hi guys, if you are a lover of Skylines, your head would literally turn when you see one. If you have been fortunate enough to have spotted SWOOP on the road, your head would literally turn 360degrees. From a prestine yellow GTT R34 to an absolutely, ejaculating black magic GTR R34. It is a site most would envy.

I have been browsing this forum for awhile and have seen a lot of mention about this SWOOPmobil. He have been spotted around so he's not as rare as the Locknest Monster so keep your eyes open around the cumberland hwy area. He has been spotted as far as north Sydney. I think that is where his business is.

We seem to know a lot about his car but who is this mysterious guy? This thread has been initiated for those that are a fan of GTR R34 and have dreamt about owning one. Also, if you know anything about SWOOP or the owner, or if you've seen it on the road, keep us inform. Would be great to catch up with the man himself, never know, he may even let you have a peak inside. I know of him thru friends and this guy seems pretty cool.

Donnie, true about him being a kool guy. Most skyline drivers think they are king shit, with the exception of guys from this forum. :P.

I honked at him in my Echo and he would flash back at me in acknowledgement. One of these days, I'm gonna try to pull him over and get him to give me a peak under the bonet. Not sure how my echo will be able to keep up though to wave him down. Might think about investing in some turbos for my Echo. Don't laugh!

Ed, I'm not really posting about him. Seeing that people talk about the car, I thought it would be good to have one place where we can all talk about R34s in general, like your white beauty. But it seems like we talk about his car alot but no-one really knows him or have even talk to him so that was why this topic was appropriate. To see if anyone else has any "SCOOP" on "SWOOP".

I know friends who knows his family, but I don't know him personally. His brother get to cruise in his car from time to time around cab. You are right, very sexy car, and in black too. quite rare.

You can find his old GTT at www.powerplayimports.com. It has a normal number plate on it but you can make out the body kit. Go check it out. I downloaded some image of it while back. How do I post it on here?

Hey guys, words has it that SWOOP has joined Team Evade's Chat forum. www.teamevade.com. It's not a bad site and there are some cool guys there. Anyone who gets SWOOP to join this forum will get a free ride in my "soon to be turbo charged" Toyota Echo. Apparently they are organising to meet the man himself and his beast...in person. DRROOOLLLLL!!!!

Phil use to have the Supra that did 11 seconds and had the plate FEELDG.

Then a R33 GTR and then the 11 Second GTR.

NOw he has a series 7 RX7 with massive power and speed.

Love the plates too Phil.

It means FEEL the G forces and also means Phile the Gangster hehehe

They seem to have a pretty cool thing going on over there at Team Evade. I was snooping around and read some of the postings on SWOOP an some of his responses. Seems like he only joined Team Evade since the SPEED magazine came out. They are all planning to meet him I think. SHould tag along for a bit of a sticky beak. hahah.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
