OK I have a whole set of 5 lug hubs and my question is, can I use my stock 4 lug brake calipers? or i need different 5 lug calipers? do i need the camber arms? or will the hubs automatically fit my S13?

You can use your four lug hubs. Calipers are just calipers and are not hub specific. The hub bearings are the same it's just the actual hub itself with the four and five lug setups which are different.

I believe so, I'm not familiar with the S14 but for piece of mind check this page. http://importnut.net/300zxbrakeswap.htm It has everything you want to know about these brakes.

nope.300zx have a different ebrake assembly... Z32 and most GTR, GTS, GTST R32-R34 use "297mm x 18mm Rotor - Internal drum e-Brake", and S-chassis 88-98 uses "258mm x 9mm Rotor - Integrated caliper driven e-brake".
