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.

Ed, is that your car there? Looks nice with the Carbon Fibre bonet. What wheels do you have on? Did you see SWOOP when he had the yellow GTT? It had the best body kit I've seen on a GTT. I think it was C-WEST.

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!!!!

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.

      People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now.

      George's R33 GTST build

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.

      They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.

      I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
