Then i suggest you take it to driven concept to have them take a look at your car since you advertise for them. Should be something wrong with your car.
S14's dont understeer like mad.

With good tires, all a car needs to oversteer (w/o clutch kicking or using the e-brake) is to stiffen the rear. This way it doesn't flex, and merely wants to break loose easier. But for starters:

-Tires
-T/C Rods
-Inspect all bushings, replace worn with polyurethane
-Upgrade Sway bars (f&r)
-Strut tower braces

All this can be had on the side of under $500 easy, and will help the car feel better. A good set of springs/struts or coilovers will obviously allow you to stiffen the rear so much that it will oversteer more.

That's just my experience though. A proper alignment will be good enough if you have good tires and non-worn out bushings and stuff. My car when stock oversteered pretty easily, being S14's are about 54/46 weight distribution and the rear is light.

Are you trying to start something with me?
I was just recommended classicplay to have his car check out by a professional shop.
I would take that back if you see a problem with that. Just let me know.
