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.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
