1981 Nissan 280Z engine shuts off

Engine Performance problem
1981 Nissan 280Z 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 136000 miles

My 280zx seems to shut off when I turn right, only to the right though. But it only shuts off if I gas it a little bit while Im turning, like it wont shut off if i go slow. I cant figure out if its electrical or engine problem. I was driving it at night and when i turned and gased it, the engine sounded like it was "choking" and my lights shut off, but i immediately let go of the gas and it came back to life, so maybe its getting to much or little gas? but why only when i turn right? please help. thank you.
