Also, the owners' manual for the 350z warns you that you should only use 95octane if you really have to - is this the same for the 370z?
Personally, I wouldn't use anything but super unleaded and I assume it's the same for the 370z.
In addition, I assume that the ECU will adjust itself to account for different fuel types, as I believe it does in the 350z.

Gasoline formulation varies a great deal between the U.S and the U.K. - it even varies here from season to season; region to region and perhaps even city to city.
