Ok so,
I swapped my s14 motor and tranny into a s13 coupe a while back.

I had a sohc cluster.
Dousan gave me his dohc cluster with busted speedometer.
I stuck the soch speedometer into the dohc cluster.
It lit up and read zero for a LONG time.
I got my hands on a s13 speedsensor with a red gear, and I installed it.
The speedometer still reads zero.

Do I need a...
SOHC S13 VSS?
DOHC S13 VSS?
DOHC S14 VSS?

any will work IIRC

i have sr blacktop and i use a sohc speed sensor in mine

careful, if you run with the wrong speed sensor for too long you'll screw up the range on your speedo (like i did with mine, had to get new speedo)
