It'll happen, just a matter of time.

bummer for motor sport,

Don't worry someone will build another one, only prob, it will be somewhere west of the snowy!!!

I heard Woomera has some space!?!!?!

lol it only closed about 10 years ago!

Lets face it OP will close, leaving us with Eastern Creek at top dollar or Wakefield 3 hours away. And EC is a borin track.

so...GET OUT THERE and ejoy it while it is still around. OP Grand Prix circuit is by far the most interesting in NSW, its one of the old style tracks that just go up and down as the land did....very challenging in places.

Ahh Amaroo ... those were the days !!  

Who remembers "Liverpool City Raceway" ?

I DO! i remember going to watch the sprint cars there when i was a little kid. I always seemed to remember it been better than parra speedway.

You can buy a house on the main straight of Amaroo these days. Damn progress.

Amaroo park was a real loss, and can see Oran going the same way with NSW land prices being what they are:(. I should have taken my old Valiant to Amaroo, it looked a great little track with touring car races always action packed.

We will always have Punt/Bells, and with mobile phones/000, the firies and ambos will never be far away:(

  • 3 weeks later...

I heard 5 years til she closes, read this in a Motorbike Mag that they are developing the track site and a dairy farm to open new residential area...

Aparrantly the 2 owners stated that they would continue to back australian racing and that they will/might open another track elsewhere!

hope that goes ahead!

anyone remember Amaroo Park?

Amaroo park was tops. My best friend in high schools dad used to race HQ holdens (and open wheel formula cars before that) there. Was an awesome track. Glad I got to go there while it was still around.

It will be a shame to see OP go, but I'll most certainly be out there in the GTR before it does.

I use to ride my push bike around amaroo park back when I was a kid :) Damn hill just after the start line use to kill me hehe

hahaha classic, that was the only I ever did laps of Amaroo too :)

much easier in a car I bet

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
