s14 calipers are the heavy steel ones. no cooling fins on them at all.
but then the r33 ones also dont have the cooling fins like the z32 alumnium ones!

You can put smaller width discs in a calliper, bigger normally doesnt work.
You'll find you cant push the pistons in enough to get the new brake pads over the disc. You can probably skim some material off the pads, but thats hillbilly, S14 disc will be the best bet.
In any case you would need to re-drill to 4 hole.
