Nikasil block V8 outside of the US? (archive)

As everyone on Earth knows BMW had a problem with their nikasil coated aluminum block V8s due to the high sulfur content in US gasoline. I was wondering if this same problem manifests itself with the same engines in other countries, but perhaps just not with the same frequency? For instance, I'm from New Zealand, should I stay away from V8s too?
