The valvecovers are different, where yours is straight across the notchtops go straight and then have a incline/decline...something....towards the rear...let me find a pic....

S14:

Bump in the front for the cam phasing sprocket (for VCT), and a slant in the back ("notch").

We have a thread on this already. Hell, it's linked in the FAQ with lots of pretty pictures.

Definitely not a notch top, that is 100% an S13 SR looks to be a blacktop unless its a redtop with a black valve cover etc. And there is extremely obvious differences if you were to search "Notch Top SR20DET" In google it should have easily answered your question.
