Ok my bad, my question was stupid on WHY japanese did not think of this.
Let me shoot another stupid question. Why they used suspension head bolts? Why they did not use the same support which is currently being used by fuse box?
So do you mean to say they just made the bracket for LHD by braking the fuse box support to sell the product in those markets?
I am sorry guys, dont take me wrong, i went through this before thats why i am sharing with you all, might sound stupid! But these questions always come in.

Sorry but this is just an uneducated statement. In Japan the fusebox is on the opposite side so they don't have to worry about it.

I see your saying the mount is strong enough for 150TQ but IF...IF i were to boost is and get the TQ much higher would I have problems with the mount? Is the mount just reqular metal...aluminum...etc?
ALSO, what about shearing on the bolts? The mount might be strong but what grade are the bolts?
Thanks!
Looking foward to buying this soon

All the ETD's sold over here are not made specifically for the USDM but for JDM. In Japan they do not have the fuse box or the AC lines running on the right hand side of the car, they all run down the opposite side. This is why they do not have the same issues we have here.
Also I believe the right hand drive (JDM) bracket wouldn't work on our cars anway due to its design and everything that would get in the way. If you noticed the J's racing has a fuse box bracket welded onto its ETD bracket...if it was made ONLY for JDM market...why would they put a fuse box bracket when their fuse box is on the other side? It was designed for the US market...but I guess just not well desiged.

High grade 3/16" aluminum

No shearing here
The bolts are flanged grade #8 with a special made flange nut that is round/elliptical so they will lock in place.
It is still a good idea to use a few drops of lock tight (Blue) for insurance.
As for the FI question I will answer that soon, please stand by

Actually if I recall correctly, J's racing tested out a bracket made for the left hand drie cars in a members car back in around 2002. To make sure the AC lines weren't rubbing etc. On his car the bracket was perfect and it didn't rub the AC lines etc...only the fuse box bracket had to be removed. So they desiged on for the US model...the test car was a 01, but then in 02 and up the AC position or location changed a little so now the bracket that was desiged for the 01 with no rubbing or AC line contact now didn't work for the 02 and up.

More FA Q's 
# 5
A compound question
How hard is the PuddyMod ETD mount to install? How many hours will it take me to install?
The PuddyMod ETD mount is so easy to install, even a Caveman can do it
It will not take hours
The mount it's self will take about 20 to 25 minutes to install. You will need (in a perfect world of tools) two 10mm shallow sockets, two
