Could be a few different things:
Check TPS voltage
Clean MAF
Change plugs
Check Coilpacks
Clean IACV
O2 Sensor-if you have it tuned with it plugged in :/
Fuel Pump
Vac Leak
Also does heat have any factor? is it generally hotter when it cuts out?
Check your compression across all cylinders.
Hope that helps.

Ok, check all the other things i mentioned, if this doesnt fix your problem get the engine compression tested.

Check fuel pressure. Are you venting the tank or is it blocked? Are you using a Z32 fuel filter? When was it the last time it was changed?

300ZX filter are usually the way to go, they are generally less restrictive.
