Had the pleasure to meet jimmy with my brother at the meet and greet , I have to say he is such a nice guy . There were a lot of people and it was getting late and the organisers were trying to rush us . But jimmy didn’t rush anyone and took the time to take photos and sign posters for everyone. Just wanted to say Thanks for making the experience so much better 👌🏽
It was awesome seeing you out at calder park man, i drove 12 hours from the central coast to come see all you guys drift and it was one of the best experiences ive had to date, vibe was immaculate 👌🏾
@@HeartLessGem_ I appreciate you making the effort to come and watch us do silly things in cars! I agree, it was one of the best events i've ever been to. Cannot wait for the next one!
Awesome video! Personally I was really looking forward to the 30 minutes of go pro footage, I love seeing all the work that goes into dialing the car. Stoked you did so well in a car you’re so un familiar with. Great job and video!
Oh wow, this format is so much easier to digest. The voiceover recap was so good. Please do all events like this. Cuts out the boring parts like you said.
No definitely don't do this atall I like to see every battle feels like we are at a loss if we don't get to see every battle even though I watched the whole stream 😅
Thank you for taking the time to have a quick chat and photo at the end of Saturday arvo I know you were shattered and know you didn’t want to you did absolutely phenomenal over the weekend drove that 34 like boss so much respect jimmy honestly I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart
Thanks for coming out and meeting the fans at the event. You were one of the only ones that took the time for photos. Made my 9 hour drive to the event much more worth it.
You killed it Jimmy O! You looked SO comfy in that car from the grandstand, to the point that I’m very surprised to hear you were struggling! Run after run you were dragging bumper on that wall like a dog with an itchy ass. Seeing you was one of my highlights of the weekend, you’re just as genuine as I expected. Its clear that you are there for, and appreciative of, your fans. Burnouts, limiter bashing and high fives all for the enjoyment of us. So thank you, Sir Jimmy! ❤️
Went to the event and got so pumped being above that wall watching you scrap the whole damn thing! Devastated I didn’t get to meet you but keep up the killer work! 👌🏽
1871km 9.5 hours of driving each way $487.32 in diesel $230 accommodation, tickets food etc, was worth every cent! Thankyou to you and all the bois ive been watching since adam was going pro in BMX and you swapped the ls in the Z. Spewing i didnt get to meet either of you but hey next time ima be driving and im determined to make that the truth! Glad you loved AUS
Mate watchin you drive you'd never think you were having troubles! Glad you had a bunch of fun in Aus, I managed to sneak a photo with you before you jumped into the back of the Ute with everyone! Thank you for that, Im still over the moon about it
Was so good meeting you in the meet & greet, like i said then you're an absolute legend and inspiration. For a car you werent comfortable in you did a killer job. You got robbed in qualifying and the judging was terrible especially when like 3/4 of the board scored over 90
Was able to get a photo with you Jimmy on the Sunday me and my brother have been watching you for years now and we were so over the moon to finally get to meet you!
Glad that Grant and you backed each other up with confidence boosts. It's a lot to jump into a new Chassie and ride a wall like that. Jimmy, you did great.
Jimmy it was an absolute pleasure meeting you at calder park 🤙🏾I will definitely be seeing you next time you come back, It was awesome seeing you out at calder park man, i drove 12 hours from the central coast to come see all you guys drift and it was one of the best experiences ive had to date, vibe was immaculate 👌🏾 from all us aussies here that went or didnt go, you are always welcome here and you did absolutely amazing 👏🏾👌🏾🤙🏾🇦🇺
You looked awesome out there man considering how uncomfortable you said you where, was so good to have you in aus hope to see you come back soon! (those end of day runs with lz absolutely went off my mate and I where so hyped!)
I love you narrated the driving part Jimmy 👌 That worked really well, please continue to do that. I really enjoy all the stuff that happens in between, both yourself and Grant are awesome personalities for that. Glad you enjoyed the small snippet of Australia 🦘 oi oi oi!! 😂
Was awesome meeting you mate, hope one day I get to see you wearing my merch in a video, or using it as an oil rag will be fine to ;) The cans at the after party didn't stand a chance
It always feels worse on the inside of the car but from the outside I couldn't tell you were having issues. Driving through things like this is pushing you to be a better driver, pumped to see you progress every time you drive.
Adam and Jimmy talking about how cool Ozy cars are under the hood standing in front of New Zealands Gaz Whiter S15. Taylor James mechanic/tuner Formula Drift driver Darren Kelly and Mad Mike's ex Formula Drift car running a 3 rotor
So I'm just gonna throw this out there in case you didn't know. In the US you can now get the Caprice PPV cop car and it's the US version of the Commodore I believe its the 6.2 6l80 trans and whatever the police stuff is offered
The wagon you pointed at was a rb30 r31 Skyline wagon, the more civil non custom wide-body version of what KeepitReet was drifting with. A Australian product.
You did great bro! You murdered it if it was just set up alittle better you would have had that whole comp. The boys were getting down too. Great job brotha!
The Chevy ss is a bad ass car and they did come in manual in the states a lot of people swap Holden badges onto their Chevy SS, but they are so damn cool would love to see something like that for future Jim
Knew you were having problems in the 34 but didn't realize you were having such a hard time in the car... That just makes it all the more impressive how you were driving it.. Grants not just blowing smoke though.. you LOOKED much more comfortable in it than the e36 (before the ls swap) Looking forward to whatever your doing next.
F-ing luv GK TECH. i got the full superlock on my G and their hydro setup. Steering wheel shift knob and solid rear diff and diff carrier bushings. All aroound great products and their customer service is A-1. 😊
Honestly, the format of small clips and you voicing over and giving a quick break down of the competition was refreshing and topping it off with the b roll was perfect vs watching 30min of go pro footage. 👌
The Pontiac G8s here in the states were available with a 6-speed manual, but are less common and understandably are usually a little more costly than the automatics.
Pontiac g8’s did come with a manual. They also had the Chevy ss which is a bit more expensive than the g8 but they’re practically just rebadged holden’s. Manual ones go for a premium around 30-50g’s
please come to california for next lz world tour ! sonoma raceway? thier having a team tandem competition in december at sonoma raceway the event is called winter jam ! come to north cali !
You can't be so hard on yourself Jimmy your driving and car knowledge is always on point. Being so critical is definitely making you better in every lap, but from my perspective every bit of experience and seat time is a win for sure. I came across your content a few months ago but have been hooked since the first video I watched keep it up bro.
FYI: Bob Jane was a successful racing driver and tyre retailer He bought Calder Park in the 70’s & added the banked “Thunderdome” circuit for the local nascar series (AUSCAR) Most people these days only know Bob Jane for the tyre shops

I always appreciate hearing “i put the camera down and had fun”
Everyone needs a Grant-hypeman in their lives.
I'm good
As long as it's not Grant
Why hate on grant seems like a good guy
everyone wants a grant, but no one wants to be a grant
@@cjstricklen2930 a truthier truth was never truth. Hype takes work.
Perfect timing Jimmy, this company meeting is hella boring 😂
Had the pleasure to meet jimmy with my brother at the meet and greet , I have to say he is such a nice guy .

Big ups jimmy, he was great. Really showed how much he appreciates his supports. Was a good experience
Was SO rad hanging and getting to know you bro. You’re a truly awesome human ❤️

Nah
Please don't always do this - I love being there in the car as the GoPro during drifting events!
100% it's really engaging!!
not always, I feel like me missed the connecting aspect with this one
No definitely don't do this atall I like to see every battle feels like we are at a loss if we don't get to see every battle even though I watched the whole stream 😅
Thank you for taking the time to have a quick chat and photo at the end of Saturday arvo I know you were shattered and know you didn’t want to you did absolutely phenomenal over the weekend drove that 34 like boss so much respect jimmy honestly I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart
Damn. I like seeing the in car gopro footage. Hearing your thoughts and stuff during comp is rad.
Thanks for coming out and meeting the fans at the event. You were one of the only ones that took the time for photos. Made my 9 hour drive to the event much more worth it.

So thank you, Sir Jimmy! ❤️
13:00 Cool to see someone run the CA18 engine! That's the engine most of our S13 came with here in Sweden.
Grant is a genuine friend. He seems like he just really cares for all of y’all.
The CA is a great engine. That's what I had in my UK 200sx S13 hatch 20 years ago 🔥🔥🔥
Seeing your progression through the years is incredible. Keep everything up! You are the man!
Went to the event and got so pumped being above that wall watching you scrap the whole damn thing! Devastated I didn’t get to meet you but keep up the killer work! 👌🏽
Grant is the International Hype Man for everyone. You did amazing Jimmy!! Especially with a car that fought you. 24:39
1871km 9.5 hours of driving each way $487.32 in diesel $230 accommodation, tickets food etc, was worth every cent! Thankyou to you and all the bois ive been watching since adam was going pro in BMX and you swapped the ls in the Z.

Mate watchin you drive you'd never think you were having troubles!
Glad you had a bunch of fun in Aus, I managed to sneak a photo with you before you jumped into the back of the Ute with everyone!
Thank you for that, Im still over the moon about it
I think Jimmy Need's to do a proper Aussie trip next year.
Was so good meeting you in the meet & greet, like i said then you're an absolute legend and inspiration. For a car you werent comfortable in you did a killer job. You got robbed in qualifying and the judging was terrible especially when like 3/4 of the board scored over 90
Your driving has improved off the charts, I saw choice files at calder and was talking to him about it.
Love the Voiceover way more than the normal 👏👏👏
For someone that was struggling with the car you absolutely killed it man! Drove all the doors off that 34!!
You drove more than phenomenal for feeling so uncomfy! F****n' proud of you!
Was able to get a photo with you Jimmy on the Sunday me and my brother have been watching you for years now and we were so over the moon to finally get to meet you!
Glad that Grant and you backed each other up with confidence boosts. It's a lot to jump into a new Chassie and ride a wall like that. Jimmy, you did great.
I love that I can watch the live stream and then when you release your footage it is mostly all new info and content
Awesome to see you down here mate, can’t wait for you guys to come back, hopefully to the Tailem Bend track in Adelaide, SA
Jimmy it was an absolute pleasure meeting you at calder park 🤙🏾I will definitely be seeing you next time you come back, It was awesome seeing you out at calder park man, i drove 12 hours from the central coast to come see all you guys drift and it was one of the best experiences ive had to date, vibe was immaculate 👌🏾 from all us aussies here that went or didnt go, you are always welcome here and you did absolutely amazing 👏🏾👌🏾🤙🏾🇦🇺
Jimmy, been watching since red z days just let me say you turned into a phenomenal driver. Its only up from here ! Love from Massachusetts!
Awesome to see you out and about, but waiting for some shop content. Get those cars done Jim!
I love the bois at the shop but theres some magic that happens when its a jimmy and grant video
Good call on the RB oil pan👌
I’m proud of how jimmy changed a lot of his editing skills from the last drift contest video to this one. It was just a amazing video all around 🔥
Ooooshhh I been waiting to see more antics 😂... Yussss !!! Thanks team !!!
You looked awesome out there man considering how uncomfortable you said you where, was so good to have you in aus hope to see you come back soon! (those end of day runs with lz absolutely went off my mate and I where so hyped!)
Always a good morning when an upload comes up in the feed
Perfect timing for lunch in Aus
I watched it live it sucks so much that the car was giving you trouble your such a good driver can’t wait to see you smash the next event!!
Jimmy and Grant y'all rock! Love the channel and content. Peace
I would have never guessed that you had trouble with the car, you were killing it Jimmy!
I love you narrated the driving part Jimmy 👌 That worked really well, please continue to do that. I really enjoy all the stuff that happens in between, both yourself and Grant are awesome personalities for that. Glad you enjoyed the small snippet of Australia 🦘 oi oi oi!! 😂
I love the mentality of the GK Tech dudes, I strive for that "it looked like a good idea" "i am just a cheapskate" attitude!
hearing cench in the background makes my heart smile
Was an amazing weekend, you and everyone else put on a show, thanks for liking my falken jacket
Was awesome meeting you mate, hope one day I get to see you wearing my merch in a video, or using it as an oil rag will be fine to ;) The cans at the after party didn't stand a chance
Always liked seeing your half hour of GoPro footage, been awesome watching you progress so much from the start, more drifting footage please 🤣
Gotta say Homie props for Latin Grant post before everybody else. He deserves it because God damn that was a good video.
Also, everybody in Australia is so chill and are a vibe!! Huge shouts to Australia for being rad as Fuvk

I really like the voice over!!
a jimmy vid as soon as i go on break is the best
Upside now avaiable in Canada of course
Great video Jim
So I'm just gonna throw this out there in case you didn't know. In the US you can now get the Caprice PPV cop car and it's the US version of the Commodore I believe its the 6.2 6l80 trans and whatever the police stuff is offered
The ppv cop car is the US version of our caprice which is the long wheel base version of a commodore.
I was close
There’s also the Chevy SS and the Pontiac G8 (G8 GXP can be had in manual).
The wagon you pointed at was a rb30 r31 Skyline wagon, the more civil non custom wide-body version of what KeepitReet was drifting with. A Australian product.
That track over the drifting montage gave off PFISPEED vlog vibes 😀😀😀
A Chevy SS goes stupid hard, and they look sick!! Would be a sick daily drifter on VSKF's
sick video and was awesome to meet you bro, come back to brisbane next time
Ive got R32 outer tie rods from GK Tech in my Honda Element. Cool to see where it comes from.
Central C buummping at g tech brake line division 😂😂 another banger of a video Jim!
You did great bro! You murdered it if it was just set up alittle better you would have had that whole comp. The boys were getting down too. Great job brotha!
This condensed narrated driving portion was the best way to make in-car clips suck less. By far the best summary of a comp!
Steve out here putting in that Advert effort. Makes them annoying ads worth watching, keep it up bro.
Cool video 🎉
The Chevy ss is a bad ass car and they did come in manual in the states a lot of people swap Holden badges onto their Chevy SS, but they are so damn cool would love to see something like that for future Jim
Hell yeah brother
I’m just here for Stevie’s promo video. The rest of the video is just a bonus! 😝
Right, forget i get gas everyday and could use it! Thx
Absolutely shredded the R34!! Don’t be soo hard on yourself 🤙🏼
I've gotten back over $60 so far with upside just doing gas fill ups. Useful sponsor for sure
Ngl I usually skip through the ads in vids, but stevie really sold me upside, I’m not even in the US😂
Jimmy we also got the Chevy ss which is the same thing as the g8 but you can get it in manual
julian is goat. rad to see him in your video.
Knew you were having problems in the 34 but didn't realize you were having such a hard time in the car...
That just makes it all the more impressive how you were driving it.. Grants not just blowing smoke though.. you LOOKED much more comfortable in it than the e36 (before the ls swap)
Looking forward to whatever your doing next.
Two best content creators bunking together right there 🤘🏻
F-ing luv GK TECH. i got the full superlock on my G and their hydro setup. Steering wheel shift knob and solid rear diff and diff carrier bushings. All aroound great products and their customer service is A-1. 😊

True grant is a great friend ❤ and Jimmy you are a good driver no doubt bro
The Pontiac G8s here in the states were available with a 6-speed manual, but are less common and understandably are usually a little more costly than the automatics.
Really hoping he builds a G8 or a SS
Loving the tunes at gktech
It’s crazy to hear you were uncomfortable in the car because you were sending it like a boss. Needed more footage of your victory burnouts 👌👌
Pontiac g8’s did come with a manual. They also had the Chevy ss which is a bit more expensive than the g8 but they’re practically just rebadged holden’s. Manual ones go for a premium around 30-50g’s
@ Jimmy. The 4age 16v looks similar to the ca18
Those hear waves on Steve’s are big fire. DPT banner
I so want you to pull out Nishonda and get it up to snuff. Spoon drifting Nishonda would go HARD
please come to california for next lz world tour ! sonoma raceway? thier having a team tandem competition in december at sonoma raceway the event is called winter jam ! come to north cali !
Jimmy you can get chevy SS in the USA with a 6spd manual they’re pretty rare but they’re out there
Gutter I missed you on the weekend. I saw you for a minute, but you had lunch and figured I'd catch you later. Hahaha you gotta come back ASAP though
You can't be so hard on yourself Jimmy your driving and car knowledge is always on point. Being so critical is definitely making you better in every lap, but from my perspective every bit of experience and seat time is a win for sure. I came across your content a few months ago but have been hooked since the first video I watched keep it up bro.
Have a safe trip home.Come again anytime.
Best rb sumps in the business 🤙🤙🤙
JIMMY!!! Make playlists for all the cars please.
R34 may have been a pig to drive but bro you did so well!!! Sick job Jim you did good 👍
You can get a Chevy SS in manual in the states
