Question, should I pull the fuse to disable it? Or should I go ahead and have it replaced with a newer version?
definitely do that or cut the brown wire on the harness leading to the steering lock. my 'replacement' at the time when i made the DIY was RevC and that's wat im running right now. i am sure a few GTR owners are going back to get their locks replaced again to RevD.

when my RevC dies i will try the tap to revive it momentarily, and kill it by cutting the brown wire per fritz's diy. i have my old RevB which still works as backup too.

the fuse option is nice, but imho a lot of work to do the same thing. i think once i disable it, i would never re-activate it anyways.
