Here is the info:
Unlike passive rear steering systems, this design features motor-driven control. This system helps improve the vehicle’s handling performance by adjusting the rear suspension geometry according to steering input and vehicle speed.
The system’s electronic control unit calculates the desired vehicle dynamics from a series of sensors, including vehicle speed and steering angle, and directs the system actuator to change rear geometry by moving both rear suspension lower links. The result is sports car-like agility, combined with luxury stability and ride quality. The Rear Active Steer system was first introduced on the 2006 Infiniti M45 and M35 Sport models. It is available on the 2006 G35 Coupe 6MT models with Premium Package and G35 coupe models with Sport and Premium Packages.
In addition, the Rear Active Steer Package adds an enhanced vehicle-speed-sensitive power steering system with a 15.1:1 steering gear ratio.

My G has it. I can't say that I feel it working at all, it just feels like a normal car. The quicker-ratio power steering, the newer suspension, and the rear active steering just all seem to work together to give the car more predictable maneuverability at low speeds as well as making it feel so much more natural to keep on track during sporty driving compared to the 03.
It was like...my 03 had great steering, but this 06 is just amazing.

I thought of just super-sizing my trunk-monkey and get him to lean in when needed. none of that fat-guy smell. but you have to watch out for the flinging crap.
