WTF is a Cordia?

Anyways, after seeing the amount of time that guy spend on that "thing", makes me think that maybe my (once upon time idea) of building my mum's 2002 Camry into a skyline/other imports killer isn't so much a stupid idea...

my second car was a cordia, bought it new after Wheels pictured it on the front cover with

"15.9 seconds 0-400m!". At the time because I was a kid I thought it ruled, and it was faster than

most other affordable production cars out there even the australian muscle. Unfortunately

it had very poor brakes even considering it only weighed 1100kg (rear drums!), front wheel drive,

flat seats, a rubbery and long throw gear change, no airbags and wasn't made to be crashed at any

speed. You could reach an (indicated) 200kmh.. you didn't rev it much beyond 5800 because it

started to sound very harsh.

The best part about it was the pull it had in 2nd gear around 80kmh. But any model skyline would

have been in another world of handling and performance.

Gentlemen, it's a wind up, surely. For those that have watched a few of his numerous youtube clips, you start to realise he is spending a lot more time provoking people than showing (obviously) what the mighty Cordia is capable of. I commend him, he's the ultimate automobile shit stirrer! :P

ohhh shhiii son... where do i get me one of those LOL, notice the spelling mistakes? lol

jelous much youse guise.

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
