Yup...old Nissans and Mazda's had that type of Power Steering system
also (late 80's early 90's).

Jon,
It's funny you mention the power steering. My old Turbo Toyota PU
had
basically the same system. The faster you went, the more power steering
fluid
was bypassed from the steering sector and the lower the pressure went.
This
essentually gave you more feel in the steering wheel, at an excess of
100mph,
you had almost a manual steering.
According to the FSM it used a sensor that was part of the ABS
system
and a servo valve on the power steering pump bypass line. Worked great
too.
