if you took the panel from another car and yours didnt have one then it wont work. Do you have wires running out of the top of your struts in front? if not you dont have it.

Yes, Electronic Suspension Adjuster.

There are quite a few GXL have that. Like mine, 1990 N/A GXL FC3S. I feel the different when I switch over sport. The ride is not comfortable like normal. Hell yeah, that's for racing.

Yes, I heard a tiny electronic shock sounds after I switch to sport mode. Still, it won't perform "outstanding" cornering unless you have a really good suspension system. In my case, I only have stock one. I am still searching for Amemiya's suspension.

It's true that it's rare to see this type of electronic suspension adjuster. My friend 300 ZX Twin turbo has the same one just like mine.

Rare means more valuable.
