According to the user manual (p.5.52), it does nothing at low speeds, but doesn't say at which speed. At higher speeds, depending also on the steering wheel angle, it turns first to the oposite direction, then to the same direction as the front wheels.

I just bought my 06 Sport (over a G35 coupe w/o this feature) pretty much because of this very feature, and I'm still testing it. Just waiting for some warmer weather to get some conclusions with my current summer tyres.

Perhaps you know about this promo video:

A good video describing Super HICAS ("Rear Active Steer"):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSqT_8vxgHk

And a diagram by Nissan showing how the rear wheels behave at different speeds:
