Default 1991 300Z 4wheel steering?

This weekend I was talking to a guy who said his 1991 300Z has 4-wheel steering. I never heard of a Z having 4-wheel steering does anyone know if the 300Z was ever available with 4-wheel steering?

It's called the Super HICAS system and AFAIK, it was only available on the TT models.

Edit: Beat me to it.

As mentioned it was on the Twin Turbo Models, with it being hydraulic on the 90-92 models and electric on the 93-96 models.

It's nothing that you would be able to see - if I remember right, it only gave + or - 1 degree of steering. Initially, it actually steered the rears to the outside of the turn to give more turn-in response and then changed to the same direction as the fronts.

It is not extreme but does make for a nice turning radius.

The added weight is not that bad just some lines to the rear and an actuator in the back, but the 90-92 models are a pain as you have added chances for leaks. I am thinking about removing it but I would need a non TT PS pump and rear rods, as deactivating would still leave the plumbing and chance for leaks.
