With fan lock you’re able to lock your cooling fans to 100% speed via the 86Nanny. No longer worry if the fans are hesitating or running at their full potential.

What are the details behind fan lock?

No extra wiring. Everything is handled through the 86Nanny.
The ability to force the fans on while cooling in the paddock with the engine off.
Avoid any worry of fan hesitation or capacity issues while on track.
Does not erase factory ECU fan control.

Does this mean my fans will always be 100% or nothing?
No. The 86Nanny still to this day communicates with the vehicle ECUs as if it were a clone of one. No reflashing or permanent alterations are made to the vehicle. This means when you have your fan lock switch off there is no need to worry that your fans are now disabled. When the fan lock is off the fans will simply resort back to the factory set of instructions from the ecu."

This weeks purchases.

Well, its my birthday today.. and my cars birthday month today 06/12 so I decided to splurge. Got some 2nd hand A050's 225/255 staggered in 17inch. And got some new stuff too. Doors will be a 4-5 month wait as they are built to order from what I was told.

HKS Kansai Service Rear Tower BAR (KTT011)
Replacing my Carbing as I want to be able to fit a spare tyre now. I seem to get better rear traction with added weight(timed myself with a FULL tank of fuel on a small local track, ended up getting 0.5sec quicker time with a full tank)


HKS Kansai Service Rear Under Brace (KST014)


GReddy High Capacity SUS Baffled Diff Cover (14510400)
provision for oil cooler hookup
port for temp sensor


Esprit Dry Carbon Doors(3.5kgs)
(stock doors are 22.0kgs)


Craftsquare CF Mirrors

Got some new tyres on Monday, Keen to try them out, see if they are better than my R888's. 225/255 staggered fitment.

AD08R staggered fitment


Weight of 225/40/18 AD08R on TWS T66-F 18x8.5, 42 Offset


Weight of 255/35/18 AD08R on TWS T66-F 18x8.5, 42 Offset



Also some parts arrrived..
HKS Kansai Service Parts





HKS Kansai Service Rear Underbrace





HKS Kansai Service Rear Strut Tower Bar




Added some padding to the bar to help stop scratches. This bar will allow me to still use the spare/empty wheel wheel.

Put an order through with BPAuto last week for these. Approx 2 month wait on them.
Craftsquare - JUN x BulletProof Auto CF Mirrors

Now if your plate were uuddlrlrba, I wouldn't have had to look it up.

I like plates that are references which identify the weirdness of the owner.

Amazing build.. definitely more money than I ever intend to invest in this car.. beautiful though. By chance, do you remember where you bought your tail lights from? Can't seem to find them anywhere.
