Never had any issues with Go sul in portadown when running the scoobs. Even got the classic mapped to 350bhp on it.
BP Ultimate shortage in Northern Ireland?

Looks like super in Mallusk for me this morning before heading to Dublin tried filling up in BP Glengormley yesterday with no success must have looked like a weirdo circling the forecourt.

confirmed Go in Carrick had some last night. I did have an issue with Go once where my fuel pump died on the first tank but any other tank in 3 difference cars I've had no issues so I'd suggest it was just an old fuel pump.
they should be used to it by nowhutchy_belfast

I'm really surprised as many folk used super! Thought it was only required for highly tuned stuff.
I would never use super in a UK car.

I have only filled with it once and it was when the station on ladas drive ran out of regular and doled out super for the same price. Was in a petrol turbo at the time and noticed zero difference but hey. I know some cars need it.
If it's a UK 350z normal petrol is absolutely fine.
It gets me a few more MPG so works out at the same price as regular unleaded. If it gives a couple more horse power or makes the car run even a little more smoothly then it's a bonus.

Only if you take it easy. See my post in the previous page. They've a knock sensor that for some reason doesn't operate after 5k rpm. Its even mentioned in the manual.
90% of the UK 350zs on the road are run on normal unleaded. Any UK car is 100% not going to break by using 95RON.

I know if I run normal 95 stuff (esp Tesco stuff) in the bike it pops and bangs from the exhaust and the throttle response is very 'snatchy', if I put 97 (usually BP Ultimate) I get none of this. In the car I get more MPG from Ultimate over even standard BP petrol by about 3mpg as I've tried it and that was the result so in the long run it doesn't really cost much more and if it gives more power/cleans the engine or what ever else it claims then it's a bonus.
Also I've emailed BP and asked them about this, said I'd get a response in 3 working days.

only use super as car is mapped or it would be on 95. Though I get the same miles per £ on super than regular.

Yes indeed! your engine is a slightly tinkered version of what's in mine - Why the use of super has suddenly come in to question I don't understand! High Octane fuel is mandatory on turbo charged jap scrap.
BTW there can't be too many of those caldina's in the country!
