Welcome all welcome all.

Struck by the lack of cefiro resource sites in Australia I decided to make my own.

It's still being developed (layout and user management being the 2 biggest issues).

This site is basically trying to cement some of the static information and knowledge that I've seen floating around the forums. This doesn't aim to replace it but what it tries to do is capture the information that you'd usually have to go sifting through pages and pages of stuff to get in an easy to read article.

As most of you know I'm not very technically minded. What I'd like are contributors - because we as a community should own and be responsible for the information!!

To this end I'm currently looking for 3 things-

1- Technical articles written as articles (not just yarns) that either directly or indirectly relate to cefiros.

Examples of cefiro related stuff is too_much_boosts article on SR20 conversions. I've been bugging him to do this for cefiroz, and luckily sky80 asked in the thread so he was nice enough to put up a write up which I've since put onto cefiroz for future reference.

Not cefiro specific stuff includes things like audio installs, which I will be putting up onto the site in the next month or so. This will include things like HID kit install, sound deadening, fibreglass boot installs.

We also need to cement some of the great wealth of information from you rb25 and rb20 owners! Some of too_much_boost's planned articles are daughterboard tuning and comparisons between turbos he has experience with.

I'm keen to have articles on the majority of stuff, exhausts, even suspension. Things like the parts that are interchangable from other nissans will be a big one.

I know with everyones pooled knowledge and supprot we can get a great resource site owned by the community for the community.

2- "Members rides" type of thing

I'm keen to get the sort of thing happening like in the sticky threads of the cefiro section here.

Basically - please send me some pics and write ups about your car !! I'd like to have ATLEAST 10 or so profiles of peoples cars. Mods and all. If you're not keen on listing your mods that's fine too. Provide dyno sheets where possible!

Please email these to me!

3- Banner!

As you can see my banner is quite a quick design jobbie. I would like to have a number of different random banners with all your cars in them. To this end any of you design graphics peoples out there with cefiros please design a banner!! It should-

- fit into the overall design

- be the same dimensions as the current banner (646x111 px)

- have the cefiroz text and the southern cross design in there (.psd available on request please email me, colour change is ok, so is positioning changes etc)

It'd be great to have actual cars that we have in Australia in the banner but you can use images you find on the net also.

Also any suggestions/feedback is welcome please post up here I'm looking for initial user site interaction impressions to start a log of issues that you guys see with the site so I can start to rectify them (as it's still very much in the development stage.)

My email is tom at coolchaos dot com . PMs are ok too!

Ok, I got some nice piccys of mine floating about. So you can use them however. Im happy to wack my mods up, do a little artical or something. Just as long as location is faked a bit shes rite.

And I'll be able to put some info up on the rb25 gearbox conversion by the end of next week (i hope), how hard is it, whats needed etc.

Where the ding ding ding your going 105kmh thing should be a good one to have up there too.

Im also going (unlike most of your foo!s) for a track set up over a drift set up. So after the next stage of that I'll wack some stuff up.

And like Stole CCs Im going down the stereo path a bit.

Thanks for pm pitchd.

Thanks Daveo you got some great ideas there I didn't think of. Make sure to take lots of photos for the rb25 gearbox :)

Location won't be necessary but if you like you're welcome to put in a fake one.. Please write something up and send it to me I can put it up straight away!

I'm still working on user management so people can upload pics themselves so right now it's easier to PM me with a desired login name. I'll make the login for you, you submit the article and email me the pics and within the article just write where you want each image and I'll put them in for you.

This is great community spirit!! Keep it up guys :D

considering a31 parts and the cars themselves are relatively new to us ozzies... its about time we have an a31 devoted site to host technical writeups and mass amounts of knowledge so people can gain information on how to do things with their cefiros and also create a kind of "middleman" to connect a31 owners to businesses which can help them

You guys can help now - if you have cefiros email me your profiles!

If you have tuned rb25 or rb20 and have technical insights into the tune please write up an article that might explain or help someone doing it at home or unfamiliar with tuning.

If you've used multiple aftermarket products and have technical insights applicable to sr20/rb25/rb20 then please do a comparison!

plenty of opportunities guys :P

Those who are wanting to help there is an interesting point about search engines that daveo raised.

We need more search-engine goodness!

I've been advised there are 2 ways to go about this. Writing bullshit articles that start with "This article is not about paris hilton and free porn as you'd hoped..." or "In light of the London bombings and lack of a terrorist confession and claim of responsibility we're going to talk about..." ... OR having many links to cefiroz.com from other places.

If you all search for your nicknames on google you'll notice you'll come up as part of the forum posts! So if you want to link the site in your sig or something that'd help too!

PS. We're not going for option 1 people :D Although it wouldn't hurt if you're writing articles that include "A31" "cefiro" "drift" "sr20" "rb25" "rb20" and other relevant things etc ;)

It's more or less finished - it just needs articles.

C'mon mate where's your profile? Infact I've signed 7 or so people up noone has sent through their profile!!

I've had the editor changed on the site so you can all contributors can upload pictures now. I also have one more module to install that will make the URLs more search engine friendly.

I will write an instruction guide for contributors and also a marketing and site plan for contributors making contact with "outside" parties for consistencies sake.

If you guys want to put cefiroz.com in your signatures on this and other forums that'd be great too - helps with search engine rankings and getting the word out more.

PM/Email me for contributor access!!

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
