I am in the process of getting my fresh import road ready, I need to buy service items for my 99 Spec R.

Am I correct in thinking the following items are the same as S14a?
Oil Filter, Air filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, 3 piece ancillary belts, all 3 windscreen wipers.

Strangely a few of them are different.
You are better off with a z32 fuel filter as it is bigger (but still fits in the same space) to the same tubes
Not sure about an air filter, not many cars have the std air box!
Oil filter is the same
Spark plugs are the same but you are better off with cooler grade bcpr7es or 8 if you are going to push up the boost.
Belts i am not sure about
Windscreen wipers are subtly different lengths but you can find that info on here!

Belts are the same.

I've had two types of oil filter on mine - long one and short, stumpy fat one.

Just to conclude this and for future searches, all s14/a parts:
Oil Filter done, OE short filter
Air filter, I bought a stock Bosch filter. It has a little lenth wise wiggle room but seemed about the same as the one removed.
fuel filter, Z32 done
Spark plugs, I normally used to buy BKR7E for s14's but got
bcpr7es. They all seemed to be pregapped to 0.9 so left them.
Fuel filter, Z32
Not done the belts yet but I have a set of gates (make a lot of OE belts) waiting to be used.
As for wipers, there was a large variation of sizes posted on various forums so I took a punt on S14 sizes. The fronts are fine, fill most of the screen and do not lift so happy with them.
Rear fits within the window but is too big and lifts slightly, needs to be an inch or so shorter.
IIRC I got drivers 21" passenger 20" Rear 18"
