Not quite, the pedal is too long and clutch hardline is wrong.

now im guessing thats the clutch pedal.....so to do the swap i would need:ka s14 manual brake pedalka s14 manual clutch pedalka s14 clutch lines

right?

now what about the drive shaft.... right now i have an auto, so would i need a ka manual driveshaft or a drive shaft from a r32 or what?

and also on mounts, from what ive heard i can put the rb in my car with any new mounts... is that true?

i have read many things about mounts in the past month, a very hot topic, it seems to me that two branda come out on top:top hat performance mounts (http://www.tophatperformance.com) andMckinney Motorsports mounts (http://www.mckinneymotorsports.com/sale.php)

I personally will be going with the tophat mounts, mainly because of the price.tophat = 350-400mckinney = 1100 ( i think )i am not too sure on the exact price of the mckinney mounts but I do know that they are more expensive!

McKinney mounts are 1100 with a driveshaft, which you could get to make life easier for you, or get a junkyard KA shaft from a manual, which you will be visiting anyways for the pedals.

I like the tophat mounts because he is located in GA and I like promoting East Coast tuners more, to build up the scene out here. That and the price

now i believe the mckinneys are for rb25's and top hats are for s13's.....now i believe i heard that i dont need any mounts for an s14 rb20it that true?

you dont have to get a new brake pedal, just cut the old brake pedal to size and stick a brake pedal pad on it. Thats how i did it and it looks stock.
