CEFIROZ.COM - Contributors required!

[someonestolecc]

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!

sounds great cc ......i have been wanting to get all the stuff that interchanges between cars for ages .... plus the write ups are always a really good source of imformation

[someonestolecc]

Thanks Res.

Oh yeah.. cefiroz.com

[pitchd]

cefiroz represent!

[dangerous_daveo]

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.

[someonestolecc]

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

[pitchd]

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

[KICKIN]

Yo!!!

good stuff getn the site up!!!

ill pitch in were ever needed.

[huddy]

NICE ONE!!!!

i'll help where i can...

[someonestolecc]

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

[someonestolecc]

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 Although it wouldn't hurt if you're writing articles that include "A31" "cefiro" "drift" "sr20" "rb25" "rb20" and other relevant things etc

[dangerous_daveo]

"worlds best 4 door supercar" is another one that comes to mind... just off the top of my head...

[dangerous_daveo]

dude we need forum up

Nope. Looks bad when no one posts. If its an information sorce I think its much better.

Send me an email/pm/use the contact us form

[Ceffy_SA]

Good luck with the site someonestolecc, cant wait till its finished,

[someonestolecc]

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!!
