Super HICAS ? What ever happened to it ?

What was it ? did it make 300zxTT have 4 wheel steering meaning that all 4 wheels turned ?

Did NA 300zx have it ?

All the 300ZX Twin Turbos had it. In early years it was hydrolic, in later years it was electric.

The 300ZX NA did not have it.

A few "limited edition" (?) 240sx's also had HICAS. Don't ask me, I saw one on the road and looked it up online and appeared to be true.

Yes all 4 wheels steer, but the rear wheels only move a few degrees back and forth - nothing you'd notice by looking at it, and I don't think it kicks in at all at speeds under 15 mph.

I had both a 91 240sx and a 91 300ZX TT with Super Hicas. When I test drove the 240 with and without, there was a definite difference in handling. It was expensive and drove the price up though. High speed lane changes took a little getting used to, the front went then the back.

As for the GM trucks, this is a much more practical application, I think they have the same turning radius as an accord!
