Sounds you might have a bad coil or Ignition module, when ever it gets hot, its start acting up, usually if that is the case, it is either a coil or the ignition module.

unplug your maf and see what that does. Mine wouldn't idle for crap, so Dee told me to unplug my maf. It then would idle PERFECT but obviously wouldn't rev! (no maf) I replaced it with a working CA maf, and now it runs fine... see what unplugging it does:)

sounds like a maf issue... runs fine till it realises... oops maf is borked :p

could try using some electronic contact cleaner spray on the wires in the maf... don't touch them tho, they break easily

do you have both the center pins on the z32 maff hooked to ground? hooking one to the "independant grount" that was hooked to the original won't work and your ecu will throw a code

P.S. unhook the negative termal of your battery whenever you unhook or hookup your ecu
