It was time for Road Runner’s R33 to face the dyno.

With such an extensive tuning package, we all knew that the figures from this ride were going to be a little special, and the dyno is the place to sort the talk from the walk.

The Carbon-ceramic stoppers are a massive 398mm and just about fit inside the wheels.
