Have you checked your timing, spark plugs / wires, AFM & CHTS connections?

A somewhat common cause of this "stalling when hot" problem is a bad ignitor (two prong unit on the side of the distrib for non-turbos).

Check the fuel pump, sometimes after the fuel pump warms you could (not common) have low fuel pressure. Look for vacuum leaks to. Clean the MAF / MAS with MAF cleaner...

280zx's have AFM's not MAF's. I know what you meant, but there is a diff.
