I just pulled my steering lock fuse out of my 2011. We picked it up in March 2011. My understanding is they discontinued the use of the steering lock mid-2011. Removal took <10 min

Thanks for the update on the 11 status. Was not sure if they all had it. Mid year revision it seems.

Yup As daisuke mentioned in another thread, just check the steering wheel with the car off to see if you have a steering lock

I voted No because I preemptively cut the brown wire last night.

Own a 2011 Nismo w/ 6k miles, lock was rev. C, car build date of Oct. 2010.

Thanks for all the research into this.

That doesn't make sense can you elaborate to why you cut the wire?

I cut the wire because it was the quickest way (for me) to eliminate the steering lock.

No idea if my rev. C was or wasn't going to fail, but now I know it can't.

Having read a bit on the options, wanted to avoid any possibility of the start-up delay (real or not) with pulling the fuse.

Comparing the time (for me) to pull the connector/cut the brown/tape vs. remove the plastic rivets/moldingtrim/fusebox to pull the fuse, cutting the brown was quicker and involved less pcs.

Took me literally 4 minutes and everything is perfectly normal except no more steering lock.
