Cooling

I plan to use the "water pipe" from the VG30, so I can reuse the heater core hoses that fit it (the VG33/Xterra use larger diameter tubes and hoses). I also plan to use the Thermostat Housing from the VG33, so there won't be any hose/interference problems on the front end!

• 1. Two bolts attach the thermostat housing to the block, one bolt attaches the pipe to the rear of the block, and this heater hose needs to be disconnected.

• 1. Removed, next step will be to clean that coolant passage surface.

• 1. Tube mating surfaces cleaned...

• 1. ...tube mated...

• 1. ...tube installed!
