Very nice car! I love the new VF Commodore... my personal car is a Falcon and recently got a VF V6 Company car. Very refined and a pleasure to drive. Love the work you've done on it so far... Enjoy :)
Got that same engine tick as mine. I'm loving the W375 also. Mine made 279RWKW and 224RWKW standard. Back for a retune at 5000km. Thanks for the review.
Hi Mate, I have a white one - it really makes a difference if you wash inside the arches. Use a dirtier sponge from the wheels etc. But it looks great otherwise!
Daniel Thomas - g'day mate. I left a comment 6 months ago on your nice ute. I had the GTS at the time. One thing I found out about was that the EATON 1900 BLOWER can get heat soak pretty quickly in stop start traffic. I've since gone in reverse you might say and got the 2015 CUBBY R8 and made some mods. Full HURRICANE 2.5in 100 cell cats, 1 7/8th extractors etc. OTR, mild crow cam and got new trickflow heads. Without the blower and no heat soak I'm making 360kw @ the wheels 575hp 790Nm. I must say I miss some of the tech inside the GTS, but the mods on the CLUBBY R8 are extraordinary. Same power as the GTS for $20,000 less. So I'm telling you this because you mentioned that getting the GTS was the dream, I'm just giving you heads up. If you do get the GTS, swap the EATON 1900 for a Magnusson 2300 Heartbeat. It's specifically made with a cooling system in the chamber. So how's your ute going? The W375 is a nice set up too. Bet your used to the power now and want more…haha I know I always do. Anyway just some info for you. I don't like people getting into a money pit with cars as I have done many years a go. Good luck.
Keg thts a nice power you are pulling out without stroker or forced induction. Have you swaped the eaton with magnuson yet? Just wondering what figures are you getting with supercharger.
@@umairkhalid9468 - G’day mate I hadn’t realised it three years ago and past LOL. Yeah I’ve got the setup that I explained, the figures are about 780 hp & 890nm. Have you got your GTS as yet?
Sick car mate. Picking one up soon. I so want the ute but I have a 4yo son and those 2 things don't go well together. Had a heavy modded VU SS ute ages ago. Love the ute
Nice car mate, i always wanted to get a ss but im still stuck on my p's so i got a sv6 instead xD you should totally make a short movie or something with it. I would watch that shit non stop haha
Very nice looking ute mate, I just put a deposit down on mine today. My VE was black but I was leaning towards Red/white/prussian steel before I saw your video..ended up going with black. Have you got any decent photos of the rhino lip on the sports armour?
Also forgot to ask, do you have any issues with the stubby aerial and the GPS? The dealer said it might cause issues but it never did on my VE.. If you haven't had any issues can I ask what brand aerial you went for? Cheers
Thats cool man congratulations on the new car :) i dont have any pics of it sorry it looks awsome in person tho. I havent had any problems with the stumpy and my gps im not sure of the brand tho i just got the guys at walkinshaw to put it on for me.
man I can't justify taking my exhaust off my series 2, I pulled the Bi-modal fuse out so it's open all of the time now so it always sounds good. feels like I'd be spitting in its face if I swapped it lol
Nice ute mate. How is it for warranty with those extras and lowered springs etc. Who deals with issues if they pop up (hopefully not). Holden or Walkinshaw? Looking at getting a Redline myself and always liked a car with a nice "stance" but worried about Holden saying it voids warranty.
Hey mate I got walkinshaw to do all the upgrades and because they did it its covered by my new car warranty. if I have a problem I take it back to walkinshaw and they will sort it out. Walkinshaw are awsome to deal with.
Awesome Ute Daniel, I'm getting either a SV6 or Ss black edition just waiting for prices. I'm undecided on colour I really like the black,are you still happy with the colour?
+Daniel Thomas you ute looks dope with the kit. Feel like its a good performance boost? I'm going to to the front trim in black as it looks a bit shit with the black vents and silver chrome. also need a lid, at least in black the stock one looks fine.
Beautiful

mad ride love the little things youve done there bro
Really nice ute you've got there mate.
Thanks mate
Sick car mate. Picking one up soon.
I so want the ute but I have a 4yo son and those 2 things don't go well together. Had a heavy modded VU SS ute ages ago. Love the ute
Richard H when he's 5 he can travel in the front in a booster
that sounds good
i'm late to the party but i just ordered my w375 upgrade as well
@ Ct Liu
The package is 6k it's well over priced but it's the factory warranty that your really paying for.
not to mention the 50 walkinshaw badges they put on it
Daniel Thomas 6k not bad with exhaust otr & tune plus the interior extras
I payed 8k and got a cam package that sounds and performs a lot better than the overpriced Walky package
I just wish they changed the tail lights in the VF they've carried on with those long enough but saying that nice car brother
Love it ! Great car mate.
Hope you come with us one day.
thanks mate. Yeah they are awsome I'm really happy with it.
Nice video man. car looks clean.
I will buy one of these and have it brought here 😂 to the states . Only car with paying a note on
Fucking nice car man
beaut
Cheers for the upload. Nice ute mate.
Thanks mate
Surprised YT hasn't muted the video because of copyrights regarding the music haha, Fkn sick car man sounds mint!
Nice car mate, i always wanted to get a ss but im still stuck on my p's so i got a sv6 instead xD you should totally make a short movie or something with it. I would watch that shit non stop haha
great video mate and a very nice car !
thats a badass ute man
Niiiiice Sound out of that kit mate.
Awesome video,sounds unreal
Good car.. How about fuel consumption? 98ron?
Very nice looking ute mate, I just put a deposit down on mine today. My VE was black but I was leaning towards Red/white/prussian steel before I saw your video..ended up going with black. Have you got any decent photos of the rhino lip on the sports armour?

+Daniel Thomas too easy, thanks mate. Last question, does the auto Park assist work on the manuals or is it another auto only feature?
+dezzmang haha all good man. yeah it works on the manual.
+Daniel Thomas sweet, thanks again mate.
Nice ride congrats!
great clip. what did you call the lip on the front spoiler and where did you get it. I've got a VF2 Redline as well. Cheers.
Thanks mate. It's called ezy lip you can get it off ebay for about $30
Thanks. Would you have a link as there are different profiles I've seen
man I can't justify taking my exhaust off my series 2, I pulled the Bi-modal fuse out so it's open all of the time now so it always sounds good.
feels like I'd be spitting in its face if I swapped it lol
Headers and a good exhaust, the sound and performance makes it worth it
Beautiful monster mate!
could you tell me how much you pay for the walkinshaw package?
Niiccce! Very clean
Nice ute mate. How is it for warranty with those extras and lowered springs etc. Who deals with issues if they pop up (hopefully not). Holden or Walkinshaw? Looking at getting a Redline myself and always liked a car with a nice "stance" but worried about Holden saying it voids warranty.
+black7 rc Ohh by the way...that rhino lip..where do I find one?...cheers
Hey mate
I got walkinshaw to do all the upgrades and because they did it its covered by my new car warranty. if I have a problem I take it back to walkinshaw and they will sort it out. Walkinshaw are awsome to deal with.
How much did the walkinshaw upgrades cost? If you don't mind me asking
When you have your radio or music on, mute it because you're getting those copyright issues on your videos.
thanks man I didn't realize. it actually got taken down and then put back up a couple of days later.
Looks heaps nice, what km do you get to a tank ?
I get about 550ks out of a tank
Awesome Ute Daniel, I'm getting either a SV6 or Ss black edition just waiting for prices. I'm undecided on colour I really like the black,are you still happy with the colour?
Would you put the series 2 wagon led tail lights on
I don't think they fit.
+Daniel Thomas the wagon and ute have the same lights I'm preatty sure they would and would give the ute a unique look
Ok sweet I'll have to look into it. I have a set of tinted LED's in at the moment they look pretty good aswell.
+Magumn man they do not fit as the wagon are longer than the ute been there tried that, they look close but no joy
+shreman sarah
yeah I thought they looked a bit different thanks for the heads up mate.
I know what you mean they sound awsome out of the box but all I was thinking was more power lol.
that is epic.
thanks man.
I just got a silver redline in manual. gunna wait till I get to 5k before putting exhaust on. Thinking of going for Tekno- did you look at them?
nice! yeah I didn't find them till after I got the walkinshaw kit. tekno do an awsome job from what I've seen on RUclips I'd go with them.
+Daniel Thomas you ute looks dope with the kit. Feel like its a good performance boost? I'm going to to the front trim in black as it looks a bit shit with the black vents and silver chrome. also need a lid, at least in black the stock one looks fine.
nice ride man
good work, its a manual!
nice ride
I love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️
285 at the wheels is pathetic wow
