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

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
