It sounds to me like it may be related to the cranking/start values of the ECU tune up (Knowing which ECU may help people diagnose the problem).

I would dare say it might related to the/a o2 sensor.
Happened to my brother rb30 with a microtech. $40 second hand part and all was good.
When the motor is warm, does the motor run fine, or is it a matter of it just wont start again.
Cheers
Steve

another thing that has come to mind (i have experienced it myself) is heat affection to the starter's solenoid.
I was previously using a starter which did not have the heat sheild on it (from a 4ac) and when i thrashed the engine on a hot day and went to start it again (high engine bay temps), the starter would be a slut and not kick over.
I then installed a 4ag* starter with the heat shield, and all is well.

nice car dude 
i vote starter motor!
i definately heard the solenoid kick in, the motor just doesnt have the power to crank the engine over
do some starter motors just not work when they are hot?

just realised that this has been adequately answered.
