I have a 1995 Nissan 240SX. Lately it has been dying in left handed sweeping turns on a race track. It had this problem in the past and I thought I fixed the problem by replacing the fuel pump with a new Nissan Part. What happens is the car will be running great, until you enter a left hand turn and the car just shuts down. It happened in turn one at Lime Rock and happened in the left hander after bus stop at Watkins Glen. I drove the car at Summit and VIR with no issues at all. You can let the car sit for a few minutes and then it will start and run fine, until you go thru the left hand turn and it will die in the same exact spot. Everything acts like a fuel deliver issue. Tank is full of gas too.

It is a non-street legal car and it will be difficult to replicate this anywhere else. Any ideas how I can go about getting the problem rectified? I’m bringing it to Pocono this weekend and hopefully it will not have this issue at that track. I do want it to be fixed before NASA Nationals, I don’t want to tow 8 hours to and from only to have the car be a danger on the track.

The car is basically stock, stock tank, KA Motor (Sunbelt)

Thanks.
