Next time I get a chance to work on my own car I'll get someone to pump and I'll flush the line with that GTR fluid.
I'm not having any problems at all but I'm a proactive kind of guy and I think it sounds like a good idea anyway. I'm only at 12K miles but my Z is a May 2009 baby, so the fluid in there is 4 years old.

Update: So I've pulled and refilled the fluid in my reservoir twice now about 2 days apart, each time the fluid is clear the night I replace it and about a day and half later I notice the fluid is slightly brown again. So 3 times I've pulled all the fluid out of the black hose and the reservoir with a large syringe. This is the third time so maybe it's clean now. I have to wait a couple more days to find out how dirty it gets again. Hopefully it won't take too many more times. I've got plenty of fluid though!
PS: I think I'll stop now, this thread is about failure, not prevention, apologies!
