s14 5speed s14 swap questions

Ok, So first off, I know this has to have been covered elsewhere, but even through search I can not seem to find. So please find the situation and question below. ( feel free to call me a retard as long as you point me in the right direction afterwards )

My car : 1995 Zenki S14 SE currently automatic transmission.

Purchasing, rebuilt KA motor and a 5speed tranny with clutch, pressure plate, and slave master cylinder.

What else will I need to do the 5speed swap? I know the obvious ( pedals, and possibly drive shaft ) but could some one who knows what they are talking about point me in the direction i need to go to find this information.

Thanks!!!

Well then please enlighten me to proper searching processes then because i searched the forums on here for "5speed Swap" and got many posts but non talking about what is needed.

I specifically avoid general internet/google searches when searching for technical information because to many site are filled with bad information.

Nico has several good write ups which is the link I posted.
It has everything you need, even the wiring portion of the swap.

Thank you Hiightboost, already read that arctile seems like good info.

And to answer the other questions yes, I use google very often many times a day but when it comes to the car issues I am pretty much self taught to this point and have found out on other cars that not all searches are good searches.

Easier to get the right information from more specific sources than a general search.

Again thanks for the help so far. Also if anyone knows of a shop in or around Nashville TN that has experience with these types of jobs please let me know.

I would love to do the job myself but don't have the tools or a time currently and really want this done and done right.

a search engine like google has a purpose..to search the internet...zilvia is on the internet as well as any other car forum ever made on the computer..type it in the search bar and it will give you results where ever there is something posted whether that be NICO or zilvia or whogivesafuck.com it will show up. but to answer your question you need
5 speed tranny
clutch kit
clutch hardline and soft line(optional)
clutch pedal
master cylinder
slave cylinder
and a driveshaft for your specific chassis..for you you'll need a 5 speed s14 ds.
thats all. and you need to cut or get a 5 speed brake pedal
and you need to drill holes for your master cylinder. they are already outlined on the chassis.

make sure you get a drill that fits underneath the dash.

when i 5-speed swapped my vert, i managed to move the air piping under the dash enough to fit a drill under there.. the space is EXTREMELY limited though.. you will need a hole saw for the body of the master cylinder to go through the bulkhead..

clutch hardline, pedal (with clutch-interlock switch) master and slave cylinder.. that takes care of all of the clutch hydrolics.

just take your time, and do it right.. expect a SHIT LOAD of problems to pop up.. it look me about 5 nights (2-3 hours per night) just to install the slave and pedal assemblies.
