I HATE SPEEDBUMPS!
Need more info about the car...year, mileage, mods (if any), driving habits, etc.
When did the last time you replaced the plugs, wires, and coils? The engine might need a compression test too. Let us know.

More than likely you have lost an apex or side seal that has gotten stuck between the rotor and the housing. The other option is one of the bearings froze on the e-shaft from oil starvation. But with the nitrous installed its more than likely an apex seal.
Those are the only 2 ways I have seen a rotary engine get stuck so to speak. There are several good options for engine builders for your 8 and I'll include myself in this category.
Good luck and keep us updated on your findings.
