Would do and did

I have found the following sentence on a book.


That's what I would do if I were you.


I know that we can use "if" with past tense to refer imaginary or impossible future. What I want to know is, can I replace following sentence with above one?


That what I did if I were you.

No, no, no. Never.

You have an if clause and a non-if clause in these conditional constructions.

The if clause has the past; the non-if clause has would.
