Stop worrying about the oem temp guage and get an aftermarket one. The OEM one only has 3 settings...1. Cold 2.Warm 3.Meltdown. Spend 50 bucks on an autometer or something similiar and you will be much better off.

Use the one off your KA or buy an aftermarket one that works better.

Do as DB says, match the S14 dash with the S14 KA coolant temp. sender. Item # 25080Y on this page:

210 Water Pump, Cooling Fan & Thermostat :: Exhaust & Cooling :: Genuine Nissan Parts :: 240SX Parts (S14) 1995-1998 :: CourtesyParts.com (http://www.courtesyparts.com/240sx-parts-s14-1995-1998/genuine-nissan-parts/exhaust-cooling/210-water-pump-cooling-fan-thermostat/-c-3690_3691_3714_3716.html)

Done....but it's ok to have a backup gauge if you want to monitor actual coolant temp.
