does anyone know what length the tie rod ends have to be for the s13 coilover conversion, and if anyone has had any bump steer problems?

The length of the tie rods doesn't change, but you do have to use S13 rods cos the S12 rods don't stick through the S13 knuckles far enough to be safe. The S13 rods are longer so have to be threaded down somewhat to make them the same length as OEM S12.
No bump steer, it was quite twitchy before (probably a camber thing) but now i have the castor wound up it's nice again.

aha. So you simply have 'S13 rods' re threaded to the length of the 'S12 rod'?

Thats right, simply extend the existing thread on the rod so you can wind em down shorter.
