In terms of demand it may be a better financial move to wait until 2015 to bring in a 1990. The demand for 1989 models is getting high and availability of decent examples is low.
One of the biggest issues is going to be the influx of the cheap GTR. We bought an early production 1989 GT-R a few months ago for $3,000, but it was riddled with rust and wasn't maintained well. We tore it down for parts.
There are going to be importers/exporters popping up who would have no qualm about trying to sell that to an American unaware of the actual condition or thinking that they can put a few bucks into it and get it back into tip-top shape.
A well maintained GT-R can be reliable and make plenty of power. However, one that was trashed in Japan is going to be a nightmare and money-pit that the owner will wish he never bought. If you're someone who is truly interested in bringing a GT-R in it would do you well to spend some time on GTR Canada as 10 years ago they were in the same position the US was in.
