yes they have it and weather its tt or not is not the designation but most hicas(aws) eguipped models are TT. If that helps any. Exactly what determines it I am not sure of.

now i have found out that for racing, eliminating hicas is a good thing. i heard that hicas is best suited to daily driving since it corrects handling mistakes, but in racing, the hicas gets in the way of turning hard. is this true?

I could see it being a problem going into a turn at 180 mph anything under 150 I dont really think it will make a difference. they dont turn all that much in the rear at higher speeds.

All TTs and *only* TTs have HICAS (as far as the Z32s sold in the US go). The 90-93s had a hydraulic system that can be a bit twitchy sometimes, the 94-96s have an electric system that I can barely even notice in my 95.
