Introducing Chris's H8 MEE R34 GTR, built by Maatouks Racing and now running VOSTA R1 Dry Carbon Racing Seats.

Some collaborations simply make sense. Introducing our latest collaboration with Chris "H8 MEE" and the team at Maatouks Racing.

When Australia's Toughest GTRs Meet Australia's Fastest Growing Performance Brand. Others happen because both brands share the same philosophy.

This isn't just another show car. It's one of Australia's most serious R34 GTRs, engineered with a singular goal: build one of the quickest and most capable GTRs in the country while maintaining an uncompromising standard of quality.

At VOSTA, that's exactly the mindset we respect.

It's In The Details

When it comes to Nissan GTRs, Maatouks Racing has earned legendary status throughout Australia and internationally.

Founder Anthony Maatouk and driven by Chris, better known as H8 MEE, the team has spent years developing some of the world's fastest RB-powered GTRs. Every build leaving the workshop reflects decades of knowledge, precision engineering and an obsession with doing things properly.

Nothing is rushed. Nothing is overlooked. Every component has a purpose.

A Build That Commands Respect

Purpose Built Inside and Out Chris's R34 isn't built to chase social media trends.

It's built to perform. The immaculate engine bay features an impressive collection of premium components, including:

  • PRP Billet Intake Manifold
  • Massive Precision Turbo turbocharger
  • High-end fabrication throughout
  • Meticulously engineered RB powerplant
  • Professional wiring and finishing
  • Race-proven drivetrain package

Every bracket, fitting and component has been carefully considered.

Open the bonnet, and it's immediately obvious that this is one of those rare builds where the workmanship matches the performance.

First Debut GTR Festival

A Record-Breaking Debut -The H8 MEE GTR made its debut at Sydney's GTR Festival, where it immediately showed the world exactly what it was built to do.

On its very first shakedown pass with Chris behind the wheel, the car recorded an incredible:

7.569 seconds at 192 MPH

For a first outing, a mid-seven-second pass is nothing short of remarkable and speaks volumes about the engineering behind the car and the preparation from the Maatouks Racing team.

The numbers didn't stop there.

During tuning, the GTR produced an astonishing 2,026 horsepower

It's a figure that places H8 MEE among Australia's elite GTR builds and sets the stage for what's to come. With Sydney Roll Racing on the calendar, Chris has one goal in mind. Upset a few V10's and showcase what it can do.

Why VOSTA?

Every serious streetcar deserves serious driver support.

Chris chose the VOSTA R1 Dry Carbon Racing Seats, giving him the confidence and support required when driving a 2,000+ horsepower GTR.

The VOSTA R1 was developed for drivers who demand more from their equipment.

Key features include:

  • Genuine Dry Carbon Fibre construction
  • Ultra lightweight at only 4.9 kg
  • Exceptional lateral support during high-G force driving
  • Premium Alcantara and leather finish
  • Designed for street, circuit and drag applications
  • Australian designed
  • IHRA-approved testing program 

Whether launching at over 190 MPH down the quarter mile or lining up at Roll Racing, the driver's connection with the car begins with the seat.

More Than a Partnership

This collaboration isn't simply about fitting seats into an incredible GT R.

It's about bringing together people who genuinely love the automotive industry.

Both VOSTA and Maatouks Racing believe in:

  • Performance without compromise
  • Attention to detail
