What do you mean by 'get rid of'? Do you want to 'get rid of it' or do you want to make it stop working?

The only way you're going to get rid of it would be to get a non-hicas subframe and swap the two. You would also need a non-hicas p/s pump. Since you have an RB though, I guess you don't even have your lines hooked up...with no line pressure, do your rear wheels toe in/out freely? Curious... Anyway, you'd also need to bore out the knuckle where the new toe arm would bolt up or get a non-hicas knuckle too.

If you want to make it stop moving around back there, you can place a 3mm washer on each side to lock it. I forget what nissan calls the two 'nuts' it would go between, but it's on the inner tie rod. That's all the arms move, 3mm left or right. With the two washers, it would be locked. You can also pull the fuse, but that will just make it stop working, not stop moving completely.

DOES THE SUB FRAME HAVE THE ATTACHMENT FOR THE TOE CONTROL ARM? I 'M ASKING THIS BECAUSE THE CAR I HAVE DOESN'T HAVE HICAS (THE SUB FRAME IS TRASHED ALSO) AND I'M LOOKING AT BUYING A HICAS SUBFRAME FOR THE LSD AND TO REPLACE THE DAMAGED ONE..... I WOULD JUST LOOK FOR ANOTHER FRAME BUT THIS ONE IS TOO CHEAP TO PASS UP.

By toe control arm, if you mean a non hicas car's toe arm, then no...it won't have a place to mount them.

I bought a subframe and lsd from Night a couple years back...I don't know if he's still scamming people or not, but if not, he sold it to me for a very reasonable price. Shipping's a beotch though.
