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.

    • You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap
    • Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy 
    • Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
    • Hope your all having a mean Xmas! If anyone happens to know any trick to using the insanely complex climate control system, I cannot get it to not be on dual zone no matter how many times I deselect it (will say it's not but both vents blow different temps). Also one side is always hot, one always cold 🤷
    • I'd be looking at the mentioned EFR kit, room to turn it up if decide on e85 (which we know you will) and be super responsive and fun on the street. OR https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/?srsltid=AfmBOorrJa2S76JR5ekXprxBOtU44a1UProbe64YaiVi9zTVp1Lj814w And add whooshy noise for extra fun C5 corvette prices are coming down locally here and a mate has a manual one and is a heap of fun on the street and track.
