I heard that early model 180sx came with 4WS. Is this true and if so did the american 240sx every have that feature?

4 wheel steering was known as SUPER-HICAS by Nissan.  Yes it was available on 91-94 model 240's.  I believe it was also available on the 180's in japan, but not sure what model years.

Wouldnt that mess up drifting?

its great for most driving but yes if you want total control in a drif tyou need to do away with it by electronically (and sometimes also mechanically) disabling it. tomei makes a line of products designes specifically to disable HICAS
