I had a little time today. It looks to me the problem lies in the design of the fuel tank. Since the fuel tank is U shape and the fuel pump is on the right side, it makes sense that we get cut out on hard right hander as all the fuel jumps to the left side. I don't know if Nissan installed a baffle plate inside the tank. If they did, they have a hole drilled too big or too low and therefore allow the fuel to leak to the left side. The simple fix would be to drill additional holes that are smaller at a higher location and put a one way fuel check valve in the stock location. If they didn't have one in, it wouldn't surprise me if they come up with a new gas tank design in the 2011 cars. Cars like RX-7 had done the same thing in the past during the mid-year upgrade.
