Speeding offences in New Zealand

I have just received notification of speeding and a fine of $80 in New Zealand while on holiday there in early March 2013. Do I have to pay or can I ignore it (I have no plans to return to NZ in any case) and can the NZ authorities pursue the case through the UK courts system?

If you have no intention of ever returning to NZ, then forget it. They have no means of enforcing this against you in the UK.
