Seen in classifieds
« on: Apr 22, 2005, 04:20PM »
Spotted a Bluebird ARX-E in a classifieds ad today, looks like the SSS except it has no spoiler.  Anyone know anything about this variant?
209rwkW stock ... yes, it's a U12!!

probably the very same car rake procrastinated about for 4 weeks while writing a novel on the whys and why nots in buying it and then didnt go for it.

its the luxury model of the u13 range and it actually looks quite a bit different to the standard u13 shape. i have a brochure at home i'll see if i can get it scanned.

you might find some pics in this epic thread

in fact, here they are:






very nice car in my opinion.


oh also according to the brochures that i have for the japanese u13's the arx model never came with an sr20det..  but then i might only have the brochure for the first series or something. but i'd say the brochure is right & the sr20det has been swapped in.

Yeah, that's the one  ;)

After a bit of Googling, I found the Nissan Museum page on the U13 Attesa, and it looks like the ARX-E came only with the SR20DET, not the CA16 or CA18.

Looks pretty nice i think, though it is difficult to tell it is a u13 with the whole pillarless design and different lights and grill.  For the right price i think it would be a very good buy!

Nice model but I prefer the standard U13 model lights.
Those look a bit like Excel lights  :P

After staring at the pictures a bit, I think a lip spoiler on the boot (like the BMW M3's have) would look sweet.

There was one on that show 'Highway Patrol' on channel seven... they pulled it over on a motorway in NZ because they noticed its back left wheel was wobbling all over the place!  The driver was a weird psycho guy, who cursed the cops familys!

ARX's... weird cars :)
