Should be fine.
Many people - including myself - use(d) ethanol with petrol blends and actually up to around 30% ethanol should be fine without remap/changing injectors etc.

Also search the forum for (bio)ethanol topics - that should also make many things clear for you hopefully.

cheers

Why are they saying you can't use ethanol in the JDM motor, do they give any specific reasons? This is the first I've heard.

Was under the impression it was to do with the E10 causing some rubber components in the fuel system ( fuel pump,fuel lines,injector O rings etc ) to swell up and fail.

Stand to be corrected on that one though.
