It was mentioned the GTO was American muscle. The car was actually designed and built in Australia. Over here it was known as a Commodore but was cosmetically a little different as well as being right hand drive.
@MR_ JZ_12 you couldn't be more wrong. It's a Holden monaro, with badges to match. Commodores were only ever 4 doors only. Back up to my information is I used to own a commodore, and my neighbour currently has a monaro, albeit for sale.
@@Tezzablade reread what i said. They were originally coupes (hence the coupe 4 etc). The enthusiasts called them monaros and the name stuck. Source, australian with many mates that have or have had monaros, since new. 😂
Jimmy your killing it I normally don’t care for the drifting videos but the past couple weeks I just waiting for the next one your driving is way more aggressive and it shows keep up good work
There was a fast AWD special edition and a V6 option in Australia/ NZ. Some nice HSV body kits on the special HSV cars. Twin turbo kits and centrifugal blowers were pretty cool, low boost

Jimmy Oakes ~ "There's still plenty of gems out there if you're willing to put the elbow grease in you can get yourself something pretty cool" Absolutely. A little hard work/sweat equity goes a long way, especially if it's something you are passionate about!
There's so many aftermarket options for ls plug & play wiring harnesses. It almost doesn't make sense to build your own unless you know what your doing and have a specific goal in mind that you can't achieve with an aftermarket harness which the odds are that's not the case for most people. Just buy a plug and play harness & ecu like a Holley and all you'll have to do is route it and plug it in. The only thing you'd have to wire up to it is a cooling fan if your not using a separate fan controller & if your boosting it then a boost controller. It couldn't be easier especially with its self tuning capabilities.
I’ve had 2 of those GTslows! Pull the engine out, scrap the car……..and buy an s15 or Porsche. Tell him the truth. I love what you guys do. All of your passion for cars and the sport fuels my love for cars. Thank you!!❤
Jimmy'O using an austrailian harness with a NZ ECU. 😂 and yes there is a V6 version similar in style to the GTO which is a standard Holden Commodore from around 2001. they are mostly 4 door sedans and wagons
Great to see a Monaro on the channel!! It's screaming out for some rims, I love the idea of 3 piece!! Over here it would have been Simmons in the day but I'd like to see maybe some SSR's on it? Maybe import some Mono Stars from over here to add a bit of Aussie flare 👌
If no Aussie has commented this yet, that GTO is actually a Australian made Holden Monaro CV8Z rebadged an shipped to the US which is dope, an the seats are called COULSON seats and they're fucking beautiful 😍😍😍
White wheels and oem headlights red tails would slap on the gto get Rj to paint correct it nardi and some really nice front seats. Man it would be so good!
Dayum that GTO is siiiick btw fun fact its an Aussie designed and engineered car. Down here we call em Holden Monaros and one is parked around the corner where I live in inner Sydney. Dayum they sound so gooood but I bet the neighbours hate it haha
Yeah I think big flow heads, nasty cam that’s still streetable, intake, headers, full stainless exhaust and some some suspension and wheels. I love the blue it’s lookin sharp
There’s an awd system option from factory for Austin’s GTO, it was for the Monaro in Australia…. If he wants to stay rwd then you already no the spicy combo. And the 6 that came in that chassis was the L67 comes factory with the m90 supercharger
That gto will be sick. Similar things in Australia are going for around $50,000 minimum now. It’s cool that you got 6 litres because we never did in the Monaro, only the ls1. We did however get a supercharged v6 option in earlier models, similar motor to a grand national I suppose.
Staaaahp. Every time y’all have a car on the channel and say it’s “slept on” everyone else starts buying them and the price goes up again. I’m already out of the market on almost every JDM car I’ve wanted since I was a kid in the 80’s and 90’s. At this rate I’ll never have any of them.
Ok so a GTO lol commodore over here. Good cars though. If you need parts let me know as I don’t think many of your viewers over here will be commodore or gm guys. Cool to see a different car👍 Japan is an amazing place glad you had fun
It would be a nice Uno reverse since Aussie bogans have been putting Chev badges on their Commodores since time began, even when the engines were made by Buick
Austin already knows Heads, Cam, Inatake, and a spicy Bootleg Tune!
Exterior inspired by the one 50 cent had and the perfect gto is born
@@guillaumedefreitas8457 na ah
“It’s a Vibe, Right” was all I needed for my Oakes Garage sayings Bingo Card 🤣🤝
Can I just add… AUSTIN IS KILLING THESE FUCKING VIDEOS! Love what he’s brought to the team🩵
you know jimmy in the zone when he’s sitting criss cross on the shop floor😂

It was know as a Monaro. It’s a vz chassis. Does use almost all of the commie parts tho
Australian muscle💪
@@governmentcalamari9785 Was actually a commodore coupe origionally, but fans nicknamed it the monaro, then it stuck and was sold as such.

As a GTO owner I can agree. Back seats may be the most comfortable seats ever
Needs the Coulson fronts to match now
they are, unmatched to any other car
Jimmy your killing it I normally don’t care for the drifting videos but the past couple weeks I just waiting for the next one your driving is way more aggressive and it shows keep up good work
All the vids are longer lately and I'm lovin it
There was a fast AWD special edition and a V6 option in Australia/ NZ. Some nice HSV body kits on the special HSV cars.
Twin turbo kits and centrifugal blowers were pretty cool, low boost
HSV coupe 4 easily one of the wildest factory Holden/hsv ever
13:08 AYYYOOOO JIP!!!!!!!! Special appearance!! 😂 glad he’s doing well💯
Can't wait to see what Austin does for wheels on the gto
equip 05s
Longchamps small wheel gang for the win
Yo give my man Spoon a beastly B-roll of him working. And an after of the work. Love seeing it

Having the explainations as you do it is super cool for learning,thanks Jimmy.
More LS stuff please!! Love everything you do but would love to see Austin's GTO get some upgrades for the v8 bois
Holy shit American car content on this channel??? I double dog dare you guys to mix it up that hard.
PRC heads!
TSP cam!
Tsp Titan Intake!
Always a good day when the boys are joking and laughing in a new Jimmy O video
Impulse blue GTO with BMW wheels and a license plate that says "RICER"
Sick.
Love the gto for real. Never see these things around much. Needs a spot or two on the channel for sure!!!
i love gto’s so much. i love austin even more
diggin the longer videos here lately man keep up the hard work
I bought the same Nardi steering wheel when I was over there and it's in my Evo 8 now! Love it!
The gto is hard. Always liked em.
I’m definitely dreading wiring my LS but Jim’s confidence gives me faith I can do it.

@@gmula1987 it’s more the chassis harness I’m concerned about. I plan to do the Holley kit for sure.
NO WAY Austin has a US Monaro aka GTO! As an Aussie and a previous Monaro owner I definitely approve!!
I usually just click the like button before I full screen the vid on every jimmy O video!
i saw that teggy for sale a little while ago down in mass and was so tempted to buy it, he got one killer deal on it no doubt
You already know Jim kept the 4/20 ebisu TAG!
My Thought too. When I first saw it I knew it would end up in the garage. Gotta love that.
@@davewisdom6381 so good🤣

Austin... PLEASE, give that GTO a procharger and let Burton have his fun with it. I would LOOOOOVE to see that, lol.
Austin’s gto looks so good in that blue
Fuck yeah some Jimmy O content with the homies and some awesome ass cars !
Nice to see Austin sporting an Australian Monaro.
I love GTOs. I have so many memories absolutely terrorizing the streets in the 6.0 😤😤
AUSTIN KILLIN IT WIF DA VIDS!
Jimmy'O using an austrailian harness with a NZ ECU. 😂 and yes there is a V6 version similar in style to the GTO which is a standard Holden Commodore from around 2001. they are mostly 4 door sedans and wagons
They made a Buick V6 supercharged gto in Australia.

You would have to update the plates from Ricer to Bogan though 😅
nice set of Simmons FR-1s would set it apart over there
Nice car Austin. Go the might Aussie Holden. Awesome colour.
I just bought a 65 gto so I appreciate the gto love ❤
I literally seen that thing when I was leaving on-track like bro that thing is slammed ❤
I love that these drop on my lunch break! ALSO WE NEED MORE Z32 CONTENTTTT
GTO is actually an Australian car. Built by Holden for GM. In Australia they're called a Monaro. They come with either V6 or V8.
Good taste Austin, my favorite is the holden commodore vx clubsport, that rear garnish on a coupe would look tasty 👌👌👌👌
Super excited that the three LS cars on the channel are red white and blue!! Austin's needs heads cam intake and a juicy set of wheels
The beats in the broll going crazy 😂 that’s fire 👌
If no Aussie has commented this yet, that GTO is actually a Australian made Holden Monaro CV8Z rebadged an shipped to the US which is dope, an the seats are called COULSON seats and they're fucking beautiful 😍😍😍
Watching all the way from Malaysia as my last video for the night all the time
Austin loving the Holden Monaro
Secured the gannys on the way up but thanks for looking out for your boy Jimbo ❤
The Monaro looks great in Blue
White wheels and oem headlights red tails would slap on the gto get Rj to paint correct it nardi and some really nice front seats. Man it would be so good!
Ransom in videos is always awesome, bringing in good vibes and dope imports
Austin, with an Aussie 2 door + US flag plates + "RICER" = Perfection
Dayum that GTO is siiiick btw fun fact its an Aussie designed and engineered car. Down here we call em Holden Monaros and one is parked around the corner where I live in inner Sydney. Dayum they sound so gooood but I bet the neighbours hate it haha
I luv the GTO the Pontiac gran prix kinda looks like a s15 and the GTO kinda has a lil s15 vibe
Wonderful video.
30 minute video, posted 7 minutes ago = wonderful video? How'd you watch a 30 minute video in 5?
@@NITSUD89 Its a bot
Omg Austin owns a GTO, that's my dream car
Fun fact the Monaro (GTO in the US) came with a supercharged V6 in Australia as well as the V8.
See them all the time here.
The 3800 Buick/Holden motor?
@@LPAGAN401 Holden Monaro CV6 - Holden L67 supercharged.
I’m pretty sure they are similar to the Buick 3800 motor but not exactly the same.
Jimmy and gang y'all rock! I love whatever y'all do. Peace
So glad your home! Back to Normal! Lol
Some nice old school Rhys Millen vibes coming from that GTO. Needs TE's!
Good ol Aussie muscle glad to see needs a Holden badge on it
Yeah I think big flow heads, nasty cam that’s still streetable, intake, headers, full stainless exhaust and some some suspension and wheels. I love the blue it’s lookin sharp

Nice yank Monaro. We got them with the ls and the 3800 with and without the super charger here in aus
Yes

Massive supercharger out the bonnet for the GTO 😊
Gto is sick
I daily drove a 04 GTO for 9 years. I’m so happy rn 😢
I’m also from Kentucky. 🤙
Makes me misd my 05 GTO!! Love to see it
You guys need to get info from Australia. There's many parts for available for the Monaro which you can bring back with you on your aussie trip.
GTO’s are actually Holden Monaro’s rebadged.
Coupe version of a Holden Commodore.
They were made in Adelaide South Australia (where I am from).
Finally back home 🙌👊
that old nardi wheel would look cool on the AE86
Some twista vibes on the fab b-roll. love it.
Holden monaro front conversion and head cam and exhaust mod. VF gts seats out of aus and a set of weld wheels they make them look tuff.
Bootleg tune is the first thing too do he makes the content so much better 👌🏻👍🏻
Good to see some Aussie V8 action on the channel with the monar… GTO 🤔
Excited to see the RX7 run! Keep up the good work 🤙🏻
Id definitely put an aussie monaro front bar on it! So much nicer in my opinion
Ok so a GTO lol commodore over here. Good cars though. If you need parts let me know as I don’t think many of your viewers over here will be commodore or gm guys. Cool to see a different car👍 Japan is an amazing place glad you had fun
The gto is my #1 dream car
Stoked for the 13B build! Keep it up Jimmy
Big turbo on the GTO!!
Austin should definitely put the HSV Monaro badging on it, i feel like this would make it much more unique in America
It would be a nice Uno reverse since Aussie bogans have been putting Chev badges on their Commodores since time began, even when the engines were made by Buick
Should get a Holden Commodore front end for the GTO. Something you would never see in the US!
You guys should build a dajiban for hauling parts in to and from drift events. Dajiban are also jdm culture.
Jimmy good job re-pinning the wire harness. Its not that hard and it helps people understand DIY
The Monaro also came with a supercharged L67 as well as the LS
Finally a shop vid
In Australia it’s called a Monaro it’s basically a two door commadore and absolute icon
Oh the boys definitely took the 4/20 day pass from the window.
Austin that GTO needs some spicy 18” VSKFs and you know it 😘
Ditch the stoopid couplers for some pinless Vibrant HD clamps🤩
Can’t go wrong with a spicy set of 17 front 15 back welds on the gto
