I had a VR4 that went through 3 green/pink sticker warrent checks (in which they check a lot more than a normal warrent) at VTNZ and VINZ with the rear steering pinned, and they never said a thing...

Or the lack of extra sttering rack, had a lockout bar on my old gts4, never failed a wof and was far better than with 4ws , lot's more stable. Um definately don't remove the fuse and just leave the rack there, get a lockout bar like pictured above and just loop the power steering line back into itself, do't worry bout the solenoids or anything because the computer will think it's still there so no lights no worries :)
