What kind of brake fluid does the 1996 Z24 take? I hear its DOT 3...Am I right?
I wanna take out the old fluid and replace it with new fluid. What are the proper instructions for it? I have a brake bleed kit from Canadian Tire.

You can also use DOT4, which is compatable but has a higher boiling point.
You can NOT use DOT5, which is not compatable.
 
 
What color should this liquid be? Mine is brown now.

Ok then...  clear with a hint of golden like clean motor oil?  
 
 
well i was just double checking.  i was starting to question myself.
 
 
heh.  Same here.  Haven't looked at any for quite some time now and just recalled it not being clear since I could see it through the hazy plastic of the reservoir.  
Bottom line is that when it's dirty...   it looks dirty.
