Your options are either to get a sensor that fits, or to use a speedo-healer. These devices plug between the sensor and whatever electronics that comes after, and convert common speed / rpm signals into other signals.
If you know someone handy with electronics, he could probably build one for cheaper. You need a µcontroler with an ADC input and DAC/pwm output depending on the signal you want, a voltage regulator and a couple of capacitors.
On s13 and S14, I think the speedo converts the sine wave signal from the sensor to a square signal that goes to the ECU, but this is from the top of my head and maybe i am confusing it with another car, so you need to check this in the FSM, there is a section with diagnostics that will tell you that.
Thanks for the info it will help others

I found the problem, it turns out wiring speacialities dose Not have a returning wire to send vss signal back to the ecu on the pro rb harness. So I spoke to Yuri the answer to make it work with out voiding warranty is to run a wire to the dash harness yellow / green wire to the aem which in this case I would repin the aem pin 53 and add a pin since its empty spot that should be all. Hope that's helpful if any body else is having this issue
