VG33 heads+VG30? ?

[jbracy7]

I bet this has been asked 10000 times before, does the water/oil pathways match,bolt patterns look to line up,looking at pictures.I ask because. I'm kinda in a dead spot with my r33.and had a frontier parts truck fall in my lap for 200 bucks. I mostly want to know is this even possible,would the head allow for more air flow. Or is it basicly the same a** a tt head,I know its a lot of questions. Thanks for your replies if any

I believe a couple/few of the water passages don't quite line up, but that can be fixed with a little dremel work.

Lay the VG33 head gasket(s) on to the block, and you should be able to see where a little grind work needs to be done to allow the water to flow through the passages sufficiently.

Thanks man,honestly never thought about that at all,I feel so newbish

It's not really newbish, it's just sometimes we all forget/or don't know a little trick like this.

Interested to see if you go ahead with this, and how well it works out.
Maybe you could do a write-up, with some progress pics, and submit it as an article here? (That'd be kinda cool)

I Planing on doing just that
