does a supermonitor exist for 89+ NA supras? i've seen them for turbos, and have heard that they stopped availability in 1988.

and what's that little glossy black square on the far right corner of the dash, closest to the windshield?

#1 Correct
#2 That is a sun sensor for the A/C - part of the cliamate control sys.

sun/solar sensor, thanks for the info guys

LOL, cant beleive I didnt think of that, I didnt think it was a sun sensor though, always thought it was a temp sensor for inside the car.

Jeff, i have an 88 Turbo 5sp but with no super monitor. I've read that i can look under the dash to find if i have the connector for it. Do you know where and how it looks like?

Connector: (Sorry for the crappy pic)

Nope. It's on the left of the steering column... unless a previous owner pulled it over there and tied it down to clean up wiring. It's a fairly large plug too, a couple inches wide.

hm, this is only maybe an inch wide, not too big at all.

The only extra plug I could think of there would be the harness connector for the headlight washers.... but those are only pre89 as well. How many wires run to the plug you're talking about?

CRE, it might not be 4-6, that was just a guess. i think it's a black plug, not natural colored like the cig lighter.

justin, youre the one that got me into this. and no, seeing as i have an 89, i HAVE to pass. this sucks :D
