As there are so many threads on this at the moment, I've started a step by step guide here, with pictures, and will update it as I progress with the job.
Please feel free to add any useful information and correct me where I inevitably get it wrong and call things by the wrong name etc...
I've tried to make it simple enough for an idiot to follow, seeing as it's an idiot doing the job .
This is for an S14 - the S14a will be slightly different
1) Remove the bracket holding the lambda sensor connections (12mm socket required- 2 bolts) to enable easier access to the manifold heat shield
2) Remove breather pipe from top of engine cover to turbo (pliers required)
3) Remove heat shield (10mm socket required - 5 bolts, 4 on the top, one on the side - usually rusty so spray with penetrating oil). No pic as mine was already removed
4) Remove hotpipe (8mm socket required for jubilee clips either end)
5) Remove pipes from solenoid and detach solenoid from the suspension turret (10mm socket required for 2 bolts) for easy access to things later on
