Hi everyone,
Just wanting to know, can E10 go straight into an N12 with no hassles?

E10 Petrol In N12 Pulsar?
Given our cars weren't designed to be used with ethanol fuel AFAIK, then I'd say it's not a good idea... IIRC, all rubber in the fuel system must be silicone instead of butyl or whatever.
And if yours is a turbo, you're definitely better off using premium.
If not, you can still get a little extra from Shell's and BP's premium juice I think, cause they have a tad bit more energy density... but you'd be paying for octane rating you don't need; may not be worth it

The degradation of rubber components isn't really an issue with such a small amount of ethanol mixed in with petrol. 10% really isn't going to do a lot of damage. Sure if it was E85, then there would be cause for concern. If you think about it 10% ethanol equates to 4 Litres (or less) per tank of fuel.
If I remember correctly, there was a rather large thread on this not too long ago.
