The heat is the killer, and Nissan hydraulic systems have always been prone to issues with this. I would suggest a stainless line, heat wrap with the best warp money can buy, Motul RBF600 fluid and give that a shot.
This is not a very widespread issue, but it can happen.
Fuel starvation...now that IS very much a widespread issue.

Good point on the stainless/heat wrap. Stainless will hold heat and transfer it down the line from the metal couplings though. ....but it will also radiate heat from inside the line as well. I think you would have to experiment with both to see which had the greater effect. I personally would go with a heat wrap on the stock rubber line if the intention is to keep heat out.... heat wrap and rubber is going to be the best insulation from heat.....
Another thing that would help a lot is a heat shield and some
heat screen matting... I really like the DEI matting as it has both fiberglass insualation and a reflective mylar layer.
I used the DEI matting on the bottom of the heat sheild for my 240Z with tripple Mikuni 44's. Use to boil the fuel out of the floats all the time. Drove to Canby on a 700km drive in one day with the new heat sheild with the DEI and didn't have a single problem with heat! As you can see the heat shield is almost touching the unwrapped headers below.
